ok so me and my FH got a wedding invitation in the mail ... FH grew up with this girl and his family and her family has always been very close. at the very bottom of the invitation it says, 'black tie invited' okkkkk which means??? does that mean i need to go out and buy a gown?
I believe so. I know def guys in a tux or black suit.....
Hmmmm sounds to me that they are basically saying Black Tie Optional...in different words. That's what I get out of that. Personally, I don't think you need to go out and buy a gown. I was just at a black tie wedding and I was really really concerned about what to wear. I didn't want to wear a gown, so I bought a black cocktail dress. I am glad I did, because about 85% of the women were in shorter cocktail dresses and not gowns. As far as FH is concerned...I would say 100% he needs to wear a tux if it said 'Black Tie' but that 'invited' word is just getting to me....I think its optional.
yea i mean its nice that they want to have a formal wedding but sometimes i just feel like you know the people you are inviting and you know no one is going to walk in in jeans or like crap sooo why even write that?
I have never heard of Black tie invited... I don't want to tell people what to wear but I don't want people coming very casual... But I am not having a black tie wedding.

i feel like people know where you are having your wedding ... and this wedding is a saturday night ... no one is going to come casual. you know what i mean ... unless you have guests coming from another states ... everyone in NY knows saturday night + nice place = dress formal. sorry i just got mad when i got it because i bought a dress for this wedding ... its one of those cocktail length bubble under black really cute dresses! i may still wear it!

We just got a black tie invited invite as well! Maybe we're going to the same wedding. I am still wearing a cocktail length dress but in black satin. FH is going to wear a black suit - we are usually overdressed for every wedding we go to so we think we might luck out this time
its sounds like a black tie affair.....very formal or formal....keep it black attire
