Maybe have a little poem in the invite stating the dress code etc?
I'm not a fan of hats either but for some reason people think its the thing to do at a wedding.
CommentAuthorUnknown
i dont like hates either. i havnt put it on the invites but everyone knows not to wear one and if people do turn up in a hat they wil be told politly by an usher to take it off
I love hats :D I do however think they are too expensive. But I wouldnt like to think I couldn't wear one if I chose to - a Wedding is a day when you can really dress to impress xxx

It stems from the days a lady (from the queen down to a prostitute) would never enter a Church with her head uncovered.
Now its a competition between Mothers who has the biggest!
But just say you want peope to be comfortable and able to see.

CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
I hadn't thought about this but honestly, if people want to wear a hat then I'm not going to tell them that they can't because that's their own personal choice and a lot of the thoughts we've had about our wedding are in making all our guests as comfortable and happy with the day as we will be - and I know for a fact that Steve's gran and mum, who both dress "properly" to all occasions would be greatly offended if we told them no hats.
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

I would love it if people wore hats or fascinators, at least they will look smart. My problem is guests wearing zipped cardigans and teddy boy jackets, lol.
I love my lickle Ava
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
I love wearing hats ......and tbh i suspect most of my family will wear them
I would rather someone make a big effort and turn up in hat/fascinator than them turn up in jeans!
CommentAuthorVicky
my H2H completely agrees with no hats his is 6ft7" and gets trapped above them so cant hear much. I prefer fasinators. So I was thinking of saying to a few people if they want to wear hats it fin but just in the church!!

I think hats look good, and it's what mum's dream of wearing on the wedding day! I will be letting people wear whatever they want to my wedding. I want them to feel like they can dress up and enjoy themselves, on the other side, if they want to be more casual thats fine too : )
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
I suspect a few of my aunts will turn up in hats, it honestly doesnt bother me. Last wedding i went to i had a lovely facsinator and felt so dressed up for the occassion.
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
and ladies tradition dictates that no one can remove thier hat until the mother of the bride does
I think if someone told me not to wear a hat to their wedding I wouldn't go lmao!! Can you not just ask people to take them off during the ceremony (the only reason I can think of is you want everyone to see whats going on)?? I think its a bit rude to tell people what they can and can't wear lol. Think about it this way....most people will be buying a new outfit to attend your wedding and no doubt will be spending a pretty penny they wouldn't be spending otherwise so just go on, afford them the luxury of a hat for the day ;) lol xx
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
The tradition of ladies wearing hats to a wedding is from the days where a woman always wore a hat to church, and as most weddings were performed in church then a woman would therefore be wearing a hat. As a wedding was a special occasion, they would wear their best hat (if they were luckily enough to have more than one that is.)
how do u ban hats when the mil says she really cant wait to get hr hat for the dya?

I hadnt really thought about this and i dont think im too bothered either way. Cant imagine my mum in a hat though lol
CommentAuthorRachie :D
I understand helping your parents to find an outfit and having the bridal party similar but I do think its rude to say to people you can or cant wear this - like Ry I would so rather someone came dressed like a queen then a slob

That's not a bad hat at all, and to be honest it's typical of what I would expect people to wear at a wedding - nice, tasteful and not too big
