[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not buy a new dress unless I was in the bridal party or it was black tie. [/quote]

It is black tie, though the men side of the mood board look more like suits rather than traditional tuxes (though I'm not 100 percent sure of the difference between suit and tux). The wording specifies floor length and glamor.[/quote]

"Black tie = tuxedo, which is generally a black suit with satin lapels and stripes on the pants/bow tie/cummerbund (there can be variations in colors for elements of this, but it is a specific style of "suit").  This is a pet peeve. We received an invitation from a couple who specified "black tie," and then at the last minute sent word around informally that they didn't mean tuxedos.  Which, what??? They just meant suits.  Then say "business attire" or "suit and tie." Especially in DC, where many men do have tuxedos and are used to wearing them to "black tie" events. I'm guessing what they really want is for women to wear fancy long dresses that they would normally wear to a black tie event, but not make the men go out and rent tuxes.  Maybe that's why people are sending these "vision boards" -- because young people don't know what these terms mean anymore? [/quote]
