Would You Wear A Hat?

[DarceyK123]

My niece is getting married next year, I'm delighted she's met someone nice.

However, she's insisting everyone must wear a hat to the wedding.

My thoughts keep swinging from just doing it as its their day and not doing it as I'm not sure I like being told what I must wear.

What are your thoughts?

I'd personally wear a hat or not go, it's clearly something very important to her for some reason, plus I like hats, any excuse for a hat... but I totally get not liking being told what to wear as well x

10 years ago I wouldn't have dreamt of not wearing a hat to a wedding so I'd do as she asks.

[gingejbee]

Yes, wear a hat....and nothing else. That'll teach her.....!

[ummmm]

What would she do if you didn't wear one?

[Ken4155]

Why don't you take the hat, wear it for the photographs, then bin it.

[pastafreak]

I hate hats...and won't wear them.

Maybe a fascinator...

[Eleena]

I personally wouldn't, I hope I'm never asked.

[Ama16]

Not everyone suits a hat, what will she do if half her invited guests decide they don't suit a hat?

[Butterbun]

Yes. You could wear a fascinator. There are some pretty little ones available and they are not expensive. A colour in it to match the dress you'll be wearing or a colour to match your shoes.

There was a time when it was de rigueur for a woman to wear a hat, especially in church. Alas times have changed.

[elliemay1]

Have you asked her why she's so insistent on it?

[Sqad]

Do as you are told........wear a hat and stop moaning.

[DarceyK123]

I don't really mind wearing it but I just don't like her telling me how to dress, as long as we look decent and well turned out (which of course we will) and as Ummm says I don't think she would stop me going if I didn't wear it.

I know I'll end up towing the line and wearing one just to please her.

[pastafreak]

I bet sqad is...bald??

[Eleena]

I'm of the view guests shouldn't be good what to wear, these occasions are expensive enough.

[Sqad]

pasta.......LOL...LOL

I've a flat cap you can borrow.

[DarceyK123]

Hubby is joking that might just be the weekend we are away! Seriously thinking about it!

[Prudie]

It's not really like being told what to wear in a despotic sense though is it? I can see no difference in this to invites that say morning dress, wear pink, no black at funerals, no jeans or trainers, come in 70s gear yada yada.... I expect she wants a traditional smart wedding.
