Yeah, I guess that would work. Anybody into crafts and know what kind of glue offhand? I would like to order it. That's why asked what kind I would need. Thanks!

I agree with Texannie on the formal wear question. Plus, Texannie knows these sorts of things.

Mom called me back, and the invite does say formal attire. I think I will go with the tailoring and a bow tie and new cuff link shirt for DH. He is even going to shave his beard for the event! I love the beard, but know that impressions are funny, and he looks ten years younger w/out the beard. My thanks to Texannie and Juju for their help.

for those three, would the woman's outfit change at all between them?

I think I have to ask someplace else. I'll look around. I thought maybe some of the group were into crafts and things. It was a serious question.

Julie, in my experience, white tie most always was long and even ball gown type styles. For black tie, I have seen a mix of long and short dresses (usually beaded though) and, semi-formal has most always been short dress or even elegant pants. Are you going to a ball?

For an Inaugural(sp) ball I'd rent a tux if you don't already own one.

I need your suggestions please. DH and I always attend a New Years Eve party where the hosts have a theme and we are to dress up. Last year it was a 50's theme. The hostess cooks a fabulous dinner for all of us and the bar is open. This years theme comes from "The United Nation of The South Bay" and we are invited to an "International State Dinner to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama". The dress code: Make it international, make it funny. Help!! I know TVCHer's can be very creative and come up with a costume idea for me. DH says he has his costume but he won't tell me what he plans to be. I'll consider anything you might suggest!!

dress up like the swiss miss! or you could wear a hawaiian hula outfit! it would be good to know DH's costume so you can dress together.

My first thought was Jamie Lee Curtis from Trading Places (the swedish maiden/backpacker) but I think Scottish could be nice. Kilt with sash over shoulder with plain white blouse, long white socks, easy to make yourself. Little black beanie with the country's flag sticking out the top as a cap makes it whimsical (remember that scene from Casual Sex?). Not sure how *brazen* these costumes should be or how much of an exhibitionist you are. Have fun and take pictures!

Thanks for everyone's help with my question. I did not realize the formal thing was so complicated, and will go w/ Mocha's suggestion. When in doubt, rent the tux!

Cwcoop, I tactfully stayed away from the formal attire question. You should be glad I did. I didn't even go to the Senior prom.
