Dh and I are invited to a wedding reception/party this Saturday night. The couple is going to the courthouse to get married as its both of their second time to get married. We hadn't planned on going but DH feels like we have to because the groom is a long time friend of him (we don't like his future wife).
The invite was an e-vite and came via text.
The party will be held poolside at their home. It says a band will be there + food. It says to dress for the heat (its been 95-100 degrees here).
What would you wear?

I'd wear a cute summery dress and wedges or block heels (I like heels and wear them a lot but wouldn't want to wear thin heels poolside). Something like this. OH LORD THAT'S HUGE SORRY

Since it’s a pool party I have a cute, bright print shift (kind of like Lily Pulitzer but it’s Boden) - I’d wear that or else maybe white old navy pixie pants and a coral silk blouse with gold jewelry. I have a straw clutch that would go with both.

Sleeveless linen dress, some sparkly accessories and flat sandals is what I’d wear.

I guess a summer dress it will be! A friend that is also going suggested nice shorts + blouse, but I felt that may be too casual.

I think shorts with a wedge and blouse is a cute look. Especially if you have good tan legs 😜

You can probably get away with dressier shorts if you do a dressy blouse, nice wedges, and good jewelry -- in other words, 'dress up' the whole outfit.
I'd probably go the sundress/summer dress route. I like wearing dresses.

To me, shorts with a wedge looks pretty dressy - if you are comfortable in that is do that. Like I said I think it’s a cute look. I bet other people here will disagree though

I was just at a wedding reception exactly like that last wkend. Wearing a dress where I live would be overdressed! ha. So it will depend on where you live. I wore cute patterned capri's and a nice top. Some women had on nice dress shorts. A lot of the men had on shorts or jeans.

DH has informed me that he will be wearing dressy shorts + a polo (or a short sleeved buttoned up shirt). He thinks it will be way too hot for jeans.

I would also wear a nice dress and sandals. I can't imagine wearing shorts to a wedding reception, no matter how informal it is. Then again, I wouldn't wear shorts anyway these days! I do NOT have shorts-worthy legs anymore.

I avoid dresses most of the time, but would pick a light, flowy dress over shorts if heat and humidity are factors.

I would wear a short or maxi summer dress with wedge flip flops.
Dressier capris and a blingy flowy tank top would be acceptable as well.
