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 got married in a hot country.

I did not give a damn what anybody wore, I was only glad that people had made the effort to come at all! It's a very big ask for the additional expense and additional time taken (not everybody has lots of annual leave available or can just go when they like) and no, you're not giving them an opportunity for a holiday, as you're dictating where and when.

One of my guests wore jeans. Still don't care! I'd care about my own attire and that of my groom, but everyone else can please themselves. It's more important they're comfortable!

Well, aren’t you brilliant?! I don’t think she asked for opinions on the attire, she asked for opinions on how to phrase it.

Well that’s as may be, but it shouldn’t have been beyond the realms of her imagination to realise some of the responses would be “Don’t say it at all”.

Why ask a question on AIBU and then get annoyed at people when they say YABU? This happens so often when people just want their view justified.

It's your wedding and I suppose you can say whatever you want. Personally speaking, though, I wouldn't feel comfortable laying down specific rules like this, particularly as it is likely to be hot there. It seems a bit diva'ish. Surely, within reason, what people wear isn't really that important.
