Exactly one month ahead of the October 12 festivities, Vanity Fair published an image of the invitation for the ceremony between the ninth-in-line to the throne and her entrepreneur beau.
Requiring a “day dress and hat” for women, Princess Eugenie’s invite requests that male guests were a “morning suit.”

The outlet notes that the decision was likely due in part to the fact that Brooksbank never served in the military.
It remains unclear at this time if Queen Elizabeth' staff will distribute a formal etiquette guide as they did for the 2011 wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
