I need help! I have no idea what attire everyone should wear. People are asking me what type of clothes they should wear to the wedding and I have no idea
I am really worried about FI attire. I like suites or something but I don't know if that would look funny. I am getting married outside in a gazebo on the beach. Please help.

Things done:
1. Purchased dress (Hopefully, only one more fitting left)
2. Purchased wedding bands
3. Picked location
4. Sent out invitations
5. Booked rooms and flight
6. Booked honeymoon
7. Registered
8. Bought favors (A few, don't know what I should do)
9. Bought guest book

I have sooo much more to do, I'm not even sure everything else I'm missing.

This is what I told my guests... you can dress as formal as you want but we reccommend sundresses for the ladies and a collared shirt for the men. I don't care if they wear shorts. I am going with a suit for the FI. We are also getting married at a gazebo on the beach. I love this wedding of Susans.... watch this and you might get an idea.
