I have a wedding in August for a pledge brother that is at 4pm. What do I wear? I have a sweet pair of seersucker pants (no coat) that I'd love to wear, but I realize that if 4 o'clock qualifies as evening than a suit would be more appropriate.
There's nothing on the invitation or the website stating indicating the formality of the wedding...

I would still consider 4 o'clock an afternoon wedding. Late afternoon, but afternoon nontheless. To me, evening constitutes anything after 5 pm. The locale of the wedding is also a good indicator of formality.

Or maybe a jamboree.
Or possibly even a shindig or lollapalooza.
Perhaps it'll be a hootshinpaloozaree. I don't know.
The wedding is at 4 pm but when is the reception? If the reception begins at 6 pm, I would go with more formal, or change in between the ceremony and reception.
"Evening" begins at 6:00, so 4:00 is considered afternoon.
