How can guests dress for a home nikah without treating it as a large reception?

Direct answer
For a home nikah, follow the hosts' stated expectations and choose clothing comfortable for the actual setting.
Ask whether seating is on chairs or the floor and whether shoes will be removed. A smaller gathering does not automatically require either elaborate bridalwear or informal clothes. Select coverage and formality that respect the venue and the wearer's preferences, and avoid treating another household's custom as a universal rule. If the invitation is unclear, a private question is better than an expensive assumption.
