How can couples get their guests to participate in the spirit of the Medieval wedding through their attire?
Include a suggestion on the invitation that it would be wonderful if guests would dress up for the occasion, however I would make it an optional choice. Perhaps including a short note giving suggestions on what types of outfits to wear and ideas on where they could be obtained would help (local costume shops, web sites, sewing pattern suggestions, second hand vintage clothing stores and local theatre productions.) If nothing else, you can ask your guests to dress casually in flowing shirts, long skirts, laced vests, and brown or black slacks. Handing out children’s swords, medieval style hats, and tabards at the reception door to those who didn’t dress up, may prompt them get into the spirit of the affair as well.
