How fun! Are the bride and groom an elegant couple, and/or do you have any insight as to the level of formality for the wedding? The reason I ask is that it helps determine what to wear. In general, I'd suggest you wear a cocktail dress or a lovely dressy skirt and blouse and if you wanted to top it off with a pretty wrap, it might be useful given that the event is late in the month (although since I don't know where the wedding will take place, maybe the weather will be balmy). If the invitation specifies black or white tie, or b. or w. tie optional, you must dress more formally -- a floor-length gown, for example. Either way, choose some nice jewelry and a clutch or other smallish purse. As far as colors are concerned, you can wear black or other dark or richer colors since it is evening. I would think a pastel might be better suited for the daytime but really, much depends upon how you look and feel in the garment.
Does this help? Were you thinking of wearing a dress/skirt, or had you something different in mind? I've been somewhat disappointed these days at what guests wear to weddings. I mean, a guest shouldn't look like she's on her way to pick up her groceries, nor should she look like she's on her way to a club! Let us know what you're thinking of choosing!
