If you don't think that you can trust me to dress appropriately based on the type of event (like of course I would wear the more formal and sparkly flip flops and authentic team jersey to a wedding and keep the beer cooler under the pew during the ceremony -- sheesh) then why should I gift on you? And even if I didn't dress totally appropriately, who the hell cares? You should invite me because you like me not my fashion sense. Besides, everyone at the wedding needs someone to talk about until the next event and it might as well be me.

I agree that dress instructions on an invite are tacky - but has become the norm to avoid all those annoying inquiries to the bride/hosts as to the appropriate attire so that the guests don't feel goofy showing up under/overdressed. (Although IMOP nothing ever wrong with being over dressed). Its the same type of break from Emily Post-type wedding traditions that demands hosts of a wedding include pre-printed, prestamped reply cards b/c so many are so rude (or ignorant), they can't or won't reply in a timely manner on their own.
Death to Seersucker!!
