So I have recently become really annoyed when people don't put a dress code on an invitation.
Case #1 - we received an invitation for a Sunday night party, weren't sure for what, at a country club. I assumed a cute sun dress with espadrilles would do. Um, it cocktail attire! I am glad my dress was nice enough, but all the men were in suits except for poor Chris. Note to sender - put Cocktail Attire on the invite.
Case #2 - and this one is a mess. We went to the Ronald McDonald fundraiser on Friday night. Invite theme was Casa Habana, so people assumed Cuban - think long flowing dresses, linen, red lips. Um no, they meant Old Hollywood. And to further confuse everyone they sent out an email about the confusion the day before and were like, you can do Cuban or Old Hollywood, like white jeans, or a nice dress. Note to sender - Know what you attire and/or theme is and clearly communicate it.
No more of this sunset chic, Napa cool stuff. It should be casual, nice casual, cocktail, summer dress attire, etc.
Ugh feels good to vent...
And this is what we all wore to case 2, and I think we look pretty great!
