I'm getting married in Spain, in a really formal venue. I want to ask the men NOT to wear shorts for the ceremony, AIBU lol?

How can I word on the invite NO SHORTS?

Dress code:

Summer elegance for the ladies and matching formal attire for the men. NO SHORTS ( just doesn't flow well LOL)

I think it would read better to specify long trousers rather than state no shorts.

I don’t think you’d be unreasonable to put ‘No shorts please’ at all, I’ve not been to many weddings admittedly but it’s not rude.

What a weird request!

Not really, I don't want to see nobbly knees. It's not a pub garden or a christening, it's a wedding- you wouldn't wear them in England wedding in a church?
