In reply to: Melissa 's message, "Attire" on 03/ 1/05 6:20:09pm GMT-6

My opinion---I don't think we should require a tie. But I also think we should make it known that people shouldn't wear jeans. In reference to Melissa's comments, I do agree that everyone has a different style of dress, but I don't think jeans are appropriate for a ballroom/conference center venue.

For the invites, let's leave it cocktail attire and then leave it up to the individual. Cocktail attire will mean dress shirt and pants, but a tie is not required. But I think people would understand that cocktail attire doesn't mean jeans!

Just my two cents!
