Dresscode on invites...

[charlie82]

Hi all, if I put posh frocks and smart suits on my birthday invites, whats would you wear? Long dress, short dress? Tie or no tie? I would like the guys to look smart and ladies to be in long evening dresses. Can anyone think of a trendy title for this dress code please.... Many thanks. x

If you are wanting long evening dresses then I would consider that to be 'formal' dress.

Just put "black tie": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tie

Sounds like my mates birthday party... she specified Hollywood Glamour :)

[Barmaid]

If you want long dresses, dress code is "black tie".

If you put posh frocks or 'black tie' I'd wear an evening dress - but smart suits is not 'black tie' - it's smart suits, so I imagine that's what you'll get.

Hi Howard. Thanks. I always think when someone puts 'formal dress' its sounds quite a serious party as opposed to good fun night be all look the part. The theme is red carpet. Actually got red carpet lol and a photographers too.

Red carpet and photographers? You have to go for 'Black Tie'!! If you going to do it - do it! Sounds wonderful!

Is black tie....tucks? Didn't want guys to feel they have to rent or buy one. Just want them to be smart and girlies to look hot & posh! haha.

"Hollywood glamour"??? I wouldn't have a clue what that meant!

Black tie is universally understood.
