As Invitations Arrive—28 Wedding Guest Dresses to Shop Now

Shop the best dresses to wear to ceremonies by the sea, backyard nuptials, and more.

While there weren’t too many opportunities to show off our wedding guest dresses last year, 2021 looks a bit more promising. As the vaccine continues to roll out, brides and grooms are putting a date on the calendar and sending out invites to friends and loved ones. It all makes for what wedding planners and forecasters are calling the post-pandemic wedding boom. And if you’re a recipient of any number of these wedding invites, you might be left with a question you haven’t had to ask yourself for a minute: What shall I wear?

After months in comfort-first clothing, the idea of going all out—in heels, a dress, and such—maybe a daunting one, but the quest for the best wedding guest dress doesn’t have to be an unpleasant one. Pick a cheerful or elegant dress that makes you feel great but also allows you to celebrate fully should an all-night dance party be on the itinerary. Whether you’re attending a socially distanced outdoor wedding or looking for a formal little black dress, there are several wedding guest dresses to help you win best-dressed attendee just ahead.
