In the ever-evolving world of event planning, couples are finding creative ways to set the tone for their big day, down to what their guests wear! Introducing Attire Cards, the latest trend in wedding stationery from Truly Engaging. These little additions to your invitation suite bring both clarity and creativity to your wedding aesthetic.
But what exactly are Attire Cards? Why are they growing in popularity? And how can they help guide guests on what to wear?
What Are Attire Cards?
Attire Cards are small, stylish inserts that accompany your wedding invitations, providing guests with a visual color palette and dress code guidance. They’re designed to take the guesswork out of dressing appropriately while enhancing the overall aesthetic of your wedding day.
Rather than simply stating "black tie" or "cocktail attire," Attire Cards go a step further. They feature a carefully curated selection of colors that match your wedding theme, giving guests inspiration on what to wear while ensuring your photos look cohesive and polished.
Think of them as an elegant, fun way to include guests in your wedding vision, helping them feel confident in their wardrobe choices while complementing the event’s style.
Why Are Attire Cards Becoming So Popular?
Couples today are embracing personalization like never before. Weddings aren’t just formal occasions; they’re carefully curated experiences. From the invitations to the décor, couples want every detail to feel intentional, and attire plays a major role in that.
Here’s why Attire Cards are taking off:
1. Eliminates Confusion
Dress codes can be tricky to decipher. Attire Cards provide both a dress code and a color guide, making it easier for guests to understand what’s expected.
2. Elevates the Wedding Aesthetic
Guests are in countless wedding photos, why not create a visually harmonious scene? A curated color palette ensures everyone looks coordinated without being overly matched.
3. Encourages Guest Participation
Attire Cards allow guests to engage in the wedding theme, whether it’s a beachy sunset vibe, a black-tie winter wonderland, or a whimsical garden party.
4. Perfect for Themed Weddings
If your wedding has a unique theme, like Old Hollywood glam, boho chic, or a Gatsby-inspired soirée, Attire Cards help set expectations, so guests arrive dressed in the spirit of the event.
Dress Code Breakdown: What to Wear

Relaxed yet put-together outfits that suit a laid-back wedding setting.
