I know y’all hate made up dress codes that confuse more that clarify , so I’m trying to make sure I’m not committing that sin.

The wedding will be at a restaurant in the jungle that has a lot of windows in order to show off a 270 lush rainforest view. It will be June so highs in late 80s.

I will be in a wedding dress and groom in a suit (possibly tan ). Ceremony and cocktail hour will be in daylight hours but it’ll get dark during the reception.

I’m thinking “tropical chic” meaning about cocktail attire or just under level of dress but encouraging bright colors , bold prints , lightweight fabric suits or even colored suits for men . Instead of traditional dresses , I wouldn’t be bothered if a lady went for a fancy 2 piece set or jumpsuit. Are there better words to convey that? I have a FAQ on the website where I’ve drafted language explaining the dress code in order to clarify.

Edit : Thanks for the feedback. Tropical Cocktail seems like the consensus .

On our wedding day next year in our Costa Rican with a beach ceremony, my fiancée will be wearing a 'Guayabera' shirt. I'm creating the 'Save the Date,' and I'd like to guide our guests on attire. I’m thinking about leaving it for the actual invitation, but considering putting it on because it’s a destination wedding (?).

I don't want anything more formal than the Guayabera, (specifically for men) but I also want to maintain a certain level of elegance for our beachfront sunset wedding. Considering the hot province and the outdoor setting for both the ceremony and reception, what attire would you recommend for our guests?

I'm considering “cocktail attire” but open to suggestions. Some friends suggested either an all-white dress code or providing a color palette for guests to choose from. What are your thoughts?
