black tie affair

what exactly does it mean when a wedding says black tie affair? I keep seeing it on sample invitations.

I think I'll do that black tie preferred. so that way people can do it, but not be forced to. I didn't want all the men hating me because they all had to rent tuxes. just some of the guys I know for some reason don't believe in suits, so i'm a little worried about that.

I can honestly see some of my guy friends showing up in black jeans going hey it looks nice!

i wrote black tie optionial because i dont want people to think that just because its a sunday morning that its not fancy. but im not expecting people to come in tuxedos.
