I went to a wedding at the beginning of this month and people were in jeans... I coudln't believe it... if people had showed up to my wedding in jeans..i would've sent them home to change...
I say go with what you want... I'm sure it's going to look fabulous, and if people don't like it, tough... You're the one getting married/throwing the bash... not them.

Hats = awesome. You should absolutely wear the hat. Wearing a hat isn't rude at all.
You just have to make sure that the person under that hat (you) isn't being rude.
There are two ways to wear the hat, only one of which is rude. See if you can spot the rude attitude:
1) "Look at my awesome hat! Isn't it pretty? What a nice wedding!"
2) "Put up with my hat, you colonial cretins! I'm the only one with etiquette! I look down my nose at all hatless persons!"
In case you didn't guess, attitude #1 would be the desirable, gracious hat-wearing behaviour that you'll want to be going for.

Firstly I should point out that i currently live in England where we here are a bit more stuffy about etiquette, lets face it...but it seems that our culture has shamefully and unfortunately abandoned it. Am I right????
My wedding was last summer, outdoors with an outdoor reception and I specified on the invite that it was a somewhat dressier occasion. Now this sounds awful for me to say, but people rocked up in jeans and running shoes...what ever happened to making an effort? Or knowing what fork is for what? (I was told that I should only provide the standard "one fork" as to not confuse people....yup.)
So I'm going to a family wedding in Canada this month and I am dead set on wearing a facinator/hat. (It matches my dress and I must say, it's awesome). I heard someone actually say that it was RUDE to do so! WTF...Actually, if you want to get down to it, it's traditionally rude NOT to wear one and to understand the etiquette that goes along with wearing one. So this has got me riled up a bit...or am I just being stuffy from having been in England so long.
I mean, really, will I look ridiculous....not that I care if I do or not, cause frankly I think its great and anyone else who doesn't think so can stuff it!For the record: I am also a fan of Brits and other women dressed in their hats when going to special events, and I'm sure your facinator will look great. I also feel that unless someone tells me that it's a SUPER casual wedding, jeans are not appropriate for a wedding. But to the point: I can't really see this difference with you wearing your hat whether or not anyone agrees with you and your guests wearing their jeans whether or not anyone agrees with them. The paragraph made it sound like, "my wedding my rules. Someone else's wedding, my rules," which to me sounds selfish. You've already pointed out, by virutue of the wedding being in a seperate and less "stuffy" country that the wedding that you will be attending will be less formal. My oppinion is that you should confirm whether or not the bride (and groom) mind you wearing your hat. Having been there yourself, you know how it feels when a guest rolls in with "inappropriate" attire -- whether it be more or less formal than the event. That said, I hope to see some pictures of the bride and you in your snazzy hat!

| 1. Wear the hat and know that many of us here on CB back you up! 2. Post pics of said hat! I love hats... wish someone had worn one to mine! 3. A few people wore jeans to my wedding and as much as it may have scandalized some of the older family members, I was just happy they were there!

| I went to a wedding yesterday and there was ONE person wearing a hat, and it was a bright red fascinator. And you know what? EVERYONE LOVED IT!!! She got so many compliments on it! I'm guessing it's too late, since you mentioned the wedding "this month" (which is now last month) but I hope you wore it
