re: Wedding - "Dressy casual attire"

I had a similar issue come up at a recent wedding. Had planned to wear slacks a blazer and maybe a tie. Because it was destination and I wouldn't have the option to switch at the last minute I called the couple to confirm what they wanted and was told a suit, but not tux or formal dark suit. That seemed odd to me and I thought they were wrong to use that term but if Theknot.com is correct, that is what dressy casual means.
"The invite says: "Semiformal" or "Dressy Casual"
Depending on the time of the event, you'll want to dress somewhere between formal and casual. Wear darker, more formal hues for an evening fete; opt for light colors and fabrics for a daytime wedding.
He should wear:
A suit and tie, dark or light depending on the season and time of day.
She should wear:
A cocktail dress or a dressy skirt and top."
I would confirm with the bride and groom.

I'm continually amazed at the amount of people here that can't dress themselves.

That's code for: don't wear jeans, but don't wear a tie either

I'm constantly amazed at how much people don't GAF how they appear in public. Take some pride in your appearance you fat, ugly, no fashion sense bastard.

Be an adult and wear a suit to the wedding. If everyone else is dressed like a bunch of bums, then take the tie off.
Even if I'm going to a wedding where I know many people dressed a bit trashy (jeans and the "nice" LSU polo), I still wear a suit or, at minimum, a suit with no tie. If nothing else, I want to at least show respect to the bride and groom by not dressing like a bum on their special day.

I generally agree, but there are instances of people directing their guests to dress casually. To not do so would show the disrespect you're trying to avoid. That being said I agree with you in respect of the wedding described by the OP. The whole "Dressy casual" description sounds stupid to me.
