The sun is out and the invitations are probably taking over the front of your refrigerator which can only mean one thing: wedding season is upon us. If you’re single, you probably have a manageable calendar of weddings on the horizon and if you’re boo’d up, get ready because your entire year is about to revolve around attending celebrations of love. No matter how many “I do’s” you’re about to hear over the next few months, you can feel some semblance of control by getting your wedding guest dresses ready now.

I’ll even let you in a little wedding guest hack. If you don’t post photos of yourself in your dress, you’ll feel much better about re-wearing it. My suggestion? Grab one or two stunning dresses that you’re absolutely in love with that you’ll want to wear over and over again. Repeating outfits is totally in right now, and if you switch up the accessories, you’ll never get bored with your look.

In order to help make wedding season way more stress-free for you, we’ve rounded up our top favorite picks for wedding guest dresses that are actually affordable. We’re talking $50 and under here. I also took special care to make sure there were some seriously cute and unique options on the list because the last thing you want to do is accidentally match the bridesmaids with the trending frock of the season.

This is not your basic little black dress, people! The off the shoulder, tied sleeves truly add a unique style element. Plus the bare shoulders plus hem length will keep you cool in an outdoor summer wedding. What I’d do with this style is pair it with a crazy shoe to truly make you stand out. Some hot metallic heels maybe? Or pastel blue heels that tie up the ankles? I love a color pop moment with a classic black dress.
