It is a bit rude to take your drinks on the dancefloor, yes.
But you know what's even ruder--by far? Yelling/telling off guests in the middle of a wedding. Make your dad remember that by being rude to his guests, he is breaking an even bigger etiquette rule. Hopefully he'll calm down.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man taking off his jacket....although I have to agree with your dad regarding taking drinks to the dance floor.I'm not looking at it as a "rude" thing....I'm looking at it as a dangerous/people falling and slipping kind of thing.....potential hazard is all I see.

Okay, generation gap...we we're talking via email with FMIL about our wedding cake and she wrote back "and if you were truly gracious hosts, you would have your cake cut into a basket and walk around and hand it out to all your guests and individually thank them for coming" I read that and though "cake in a basket???? are you NUTS????" I mentioned it to my mom who said "back in the old days, wedding cake was fruit cake and this is what was done....sure, go talk to your guests, but I wouldn't recommend putting regular cake with frosting into a basket" and we had another good laugh at how times have changed  Maybe have the DJ announce to people to please refrain from drinking on the dance floor and at least its been addressed and your dad will be happy, and if people do.....well just let it go - you tried

When you go out to the grocery store on a Sunday look at how the people dress. The younger generation sometimes looks like they still have on their PJ's and older people tend to get dressed up more b/c older people would not go out in PJ's or other clothes some of the kids are wearing these days. I think older people like to look put together and that's why they would wear the jacket. I know not all older people dress nice when the go out, but whenever I go out they are usually dressed in good clothes and look very presentable unlike lots of the younger people who tend to look like they just rolled out of bed IMO.

Ok...but why? I'm honestly not trying to cause trouble or anything like that...I just don't get how its construed by older ppl as rude? did they not remove their veils and stuff at the reception back then? I know my mom didn't...but she also wore probably the ugliest hat I've seen in my life

For example, some people feel it's okay to put registry cards with the invite and others don't, so I think part of it is personal.
