I was a groomsman at a wedding where someone showed up in jeans.

Japes abounded and some of the more conservative family members were giving severe side-eye, but at no point was it suggested that he be sent home. He showed up in jeans (offense), we gave him a lot of ribbing that he took in good stride (punishment).

The appropriate response to offenses like this doesn't have to be banishment.
