What does formal attire mean on a wedding invitation? It means it’s OK to wear a tuxedo, if you want to wear one of your nine-to-five suits. And it’s perfectly acceptable for an invited guest to wear a suit, even if it’s for a limited edition suit. Yes, formal wear can be baffling.

One way to do this is by having the four windows open, and with the mouse, manually adjusting to the size you want them to have. Drag each window to their respective corners.
