The rules are this:
* If you're a guest, and you're invited to a wedding in the middle of the day, men should wear business suits, dark in winter, light in summer. The women should wear beautiful suits or dresses, cut to the knee or below, with very little glitz. If the wedding is held in temple or church, the attire should not be flashy or provocative.
* If a formal or semi-formal reception is held hours after the wedding ceremony ends, in the evening, for example, guests (if able) are required to change into flashier evening attire, which may include cocktail or long dresses for women and tuxes and business suits for men, respectively.
* If invited to a semi-formal evening affair, men wear business suits; women short or mid-calf cocktail dresses, dressy pants' attire, etc.
* Formal weddings, held in the evening, are a different story. These "black tie" affairs require guests to come formally dressed. Women wear fancy long, or short, or mid-calf gowns. Men wear tuxes, no exceptions (they may also wear white dinner jackets in summer of tropical climates)!
These rules also hold true for the family members of the bride and groom!
Moral of the Story: When it comes to a wedding, dress appropriately and make everyone proud of you.
Happy Wedding Planning!

Personalised wedding gifts are much nicer to receive when you get married, as they show how much thought you have put into the present. A personalised wedding present is lovely!
