i thought we would be able to avoid spelling it out because i think the vast majority of people coming to this party know that this is a danceparty and not high tea at the plaza or a
stuffy ballroom wedding... buttttttttt enough people have asked..... sooooo, for the record... we aren't saying if you aren't wearing a ballgown or a full tuxedo that you won't be allowed in. the dress code is what we like to call CREATIVE black tie and that is open to some interpretation. think, Vintage Vegas meets Rat Pack meets Mad Men with a modern twist. it isn't completely about what you wear as much as it is about how you rock it! we just want to revisit some of the long lost vegas style so DRESS TO STUN!  

this is, in a certain sense, a theme party if everyone plays along it will be A LOT more fun!

we are wearing tuxedos and stunning dresses we hope you guys do something similar.

It's perfectly clear to me...What you might wear to a wedding if you weren't the one getting married...but it was a REALLY cool wedding & DJ was the photographer & there was a light show & free flowing coolness from every corner of the room :)
