nmlmom Posted June 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I am getting married in September and am in a wedding about a month later. I was thinking about wearing the bridesmaid dress for a formal night on RC. Is this too formal, not formal enough or too cheesy? http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=1557&sid=4690&cfid=8 BTW, this is my first cruise!

barefootscribe Posted June 28, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2005 I might skip the gloves, but it looked to me like the dress would be perfectly appropriate. You'll want to make sure your husband is dressed to the same level of formality, but that dress is definitely OK to wear. Have fun on your cruise!

Rare Lois R Posted June 28, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi:) I agree with the other gals. Your dress is BEAUTIFUL:) and I don't think you can be too dressed up on formal night. Just make sure you have space to pack it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colette5479 Posted June 28, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 28, 2005 The only thing I could think of that would be too formal is a wedding dress:D The dress looks great! I say go for it!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantaAna,CA Posted June 28, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Wow, you'll look gorgeous. I also have opera gloves to wear with my gown on the first formal night. I don't think I've ever worn them before, I'm dressing to the nines! Have a wonderful time, you'll look great! Jane :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gert Posted June 30, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Excellent idea. Remember to post pics (if possible) upon your return, those are always fun to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpec24 Posted June 30, 2005 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2005 My question is this...I think that dress is beautiful and absolutely fine to wear but what is the least formal you can go? I have a dress I wore to a wedding last weekend that I love but now I am questioning the formality (is that a word) of it. :) HELP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lszu Posted June 30, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2005 nmlmom - IMO there is no such thing as "too formal". This dress is perfect! Isn't it great when you can use your bridesmaids gowns for something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayred Posted July 1, 2005 #15 Share Posted July 1, 2005 What is too formal for MEN???? I have a quiet simple and WONDERFUL husband who will wear whatever I ask for the formal night. I had planned on renting him a tux for the formal nights but, now I am worried that he will be over dressed. Do a lot of men wear tuxes on the formal nights or do most wear a suit :confused: I will have a floor length dress on and we are cruising Mexico on the Princess. Thanks for the suggestions..

Grayce Posted July 1, 2005 #16 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I wore a floor length maid-of-honour dress on my last cruise. It was nice to get a second wearing out of it. Your dress looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a lot of men wear tuxes on the formal nights or do most wear a suit :confused: I will have a floor length dress on and we are cruising Mexico on the Princess. Thanks for the suggestions.. Many men wear suits - my DH rented a tux for our first cruise. He didn't mind wearing it and loved the extra attention from me, so upon our return he bought his own tux. He looks so handsome in it and wears it to both formal nights. He leaves his suit at home and packs a sports jacket for the dining room too. Some gentlemen will not wear even a sports jacket on formal night, so you will see a variety of attire. On RCCL, on formal nights the majority of men wear suits, followed by tuxes and very informal wear. I really enjoy getting all dressed up in a gown for formal night, so DH's tux compliments my outfit. If I was wearing a more informal dress, his tux would be too much. If he is willing to wear a tux - go for it. He'll look grrrreat! Have a good cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were quite a number of men in tuxes on the formal nights of our cruise to the Baltics on the Grand Princess last summer......one year ago today, to be exact. <sniff, sniff> My DH had a tux on as did our cruisemates.
