Formal Advice Needed..

[hampstor]

I just got an invitation to go to a formal dinner in edmonton on may 24th...

I am not sure what I should wear or what kind of formalities I need to be aware of. The bottom right of the invitation says:

Black Tie / Evening Dress
Decorations

what the heck does this mean?? :english:

[lude_grl]

i guess it's time to re-learn table manners with a fork instead of chopsticks!! :rofl:

black tie means u can wear a tux, but a dark business suit is also appropriate
EDIT: and since its summer u can aslo wear a white dinner jacket......

If you're Scottish, a kilt and Bonny Prince Charlie Jacket make good black tie kit as well. They can be rented in Edmonton most likely. If you are not Scottish but want to wear one, you can still wear a Black Watch tartan.

Kilts are cool.

[lude_grl]

BAHAHAHA at Minh in a kilt! I am very nervous as this is my first formal dinner of this nature, and the second formal dinner I've ever been to (the other being my grad) I just wasn't sure wether Minh needed a tux or not, but we've pretty much decided he will. Time to go shopping I guess! :D *honey can I borrow your credit card?*

BTW lude_grl OMGHI2U!!11!!! LOL awesome pic, you look great! Is that your grad?

[lude_grl]

haha abyss, no it isnt


p.s. i have like 10 gowns(no lie) so if u need one for one night
let me know.

[abyss]

Thanks for the offer! I think I may go shopping anyway, just for the fact that I get to go shopping ;) But if I can't find anything, I'll definately give you a shout. :)

[lude_grl]

haha im like that too
hence the 10 gowns.


pm me your msn. to keep in touch for the gown (if you want)
