Packing list
Wedding guest packing list
A wedding guest packing list for a destination or weekend wedding: formal outfit, shoes, gift and card, and the small emergency kit you will be glad of.
Wedding weekends mix a formal day with travel days, and the dress code rules everything. Pack the outfit first, then build the rest around it.
This list covers three days with one formal event. Wayfold reminds you about the gift and card, and you can plan the outfit for each day.

How to use this list
Start a day or two before you leave and pack one category at a time, ticking items off as they go in the bag — your ticks are saved in this browser. Quantities follow the trip above: clothes scale with the number of days, with a little extra for spares. Travelling longer, in different weather or with more people? Open the list in Wayfold and it recalculates for your dates, the forecast and everyone travelling.

Bring comfortable shoes for the dancing, too.

Check the invitation for dress code and whether the ceremony is outdoors.
