[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this weird? I have been to many black and white tie events and never once have I been invited to something that says "white tie" and takes place at 11 am. Do I trust that they want us in white tie and wear a ballgown before noon or should I maybe do a cocktail dress.

For reference: it is a wedding, venue is a farm and it will be outdoor brunch reception.[/quote]

Oh my goodness. These people sound very confused.

White tie is appropriate for 12:00 noon and 8:00 pm, or later. Anything else is incorrect. And at farm with an outdoor brunch reception?  Please tell us you're joking.[/quote]

They are my husband's relatives so I don't feel comfortable calling for clarification. Luckily we will be staying down the street in a hotel. I can pack white tie appropriate clothes for both my husband and myself.  Worst case is I'll wear a formal garden party outfit, if I get there and people are truly wearing white tie, I can dash back to the hotel and change.

Would this bother you if you were the couple? I just don't want to embarrass myself if I show up under dressed. [/quote]

I don't understand why you'd bring multiple dresses and plan to potentially dash back and forth between the hotel and venue to change (??) vs. reaching out to find out more information and clarify the couple's intentions (or at least aligning with other attendees on what they are wearing).  Just don't be condescending in your inquiry or like you know better than them how things are "done."[/quote]
