AIBU unreasonable to wear purple anyway? Ridiculous christening invite...

[fourcorneredcircle]

So, I said I'd go to a friend's daughter's christening (just the service) a while a go. No problems there apart from the usual trying to get into Chruch school bollocks. Just picked up the invite to check I'd got the times right for tomorrow and noticed this little beauty. "Please don't wear dark colours, after all, it's not a funeral. Also, you many not wear pink, purple or ivory unless you are the parent, God parent or grandparent".

I already have a purple dress that I was planning to wear. Is this a thing now??? I've never even read a bridezeilla missive saying one may not wear a certain colour!

really? The world has gone mad!

Weird.

Of for the love of god tiny fishes. Really, really?????????

Just wear what you want, the rest of the congregation will be surely?

Really. I'd copy you in to the matching FB event invite but it would out me...

I would either go and wear what the hell I liked or give it a miss. Ridiculous!

Go with purple hair and look innocent.

I suggest you base your christening outfit on one of these chaps.

Oh dear. I think I'd find that I'd come down with something terribly infectious a couple of days before and have to cry off. How sad.

I suggest you base your christening outfit on one of these chaps.

I really want to gate crash.

That is brilliant

Wear white, and drive them all mad trying to work out if you're actually wearing ivory IN DEFIANCE OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Just become a godparent. It's probably the easiest solution. You'll have to renounce Satan, but that's straightforward enough.

Don't bother going. It sounds like it will be terrible!

NO! This is some sort of MN trickery, I don't believe you... You're going to have to show us the invite

Dress codes for Christenings???

So, so many wonderful suggestions. Now I have a new dilemma. How can I choose between ruffles, purple hair and passive aggressive white?! I'm very glad to hear that's it's not just me who things this is ridiculous.

Def wear white! Or lilac! How about mauve? Cerise? Coral? Apricot?

Fucking ridiculous stipulations.

Go in a frogman's wetsuit and flippers.
Say it wasn't on the forbidden list so you'd thought it would be ok.

I just wouldn't go on the grounds that no one I would want to be friends with would say anything close to that

I've never heard of anything so precious. So they've basically limited the guests to yellow, orange, pale blue and green?
Wear what you please.
This makes my blood boil and I've not even been invited.

And "all his works" hassled which could be trickier

What a rude invitation. They can't dictate what colors people wear. Supposing someone only has black and do not have the funds to buy anymore clothes and don't wear pink purple or ivory.
If it were me I'd purposely turn in up in my bright pink dress. To piss them off . I mean what can they do, get the pink purple black or Ivory clothes police to arrest you. Remove you from the christening. To be honest that wouldn't be a bad thing anyway. They sound like a pair of bleeeedin ejits.
Thank God I'm not on the guest list.

The vicar is soooo going to get a bollocking.
