Dress Code Help

BunintheOven311

I normally consider myself pretty savvy when it comes to dress codes and so forth...but we were invited to a wedding reception (they were married in Jamaica) and dress code is wedding classy...WTF is this?  Should I know what this is?  I am thinking just normal attire but I am clueless.  Is it slightly fancier but not quite black tie/formal?  I am thinking just go for a standard LBD. 

Help!?  TIA!

WTF?  I love how people just make up their nonsense words for wedding invitiations.

Are these "klassy" folk?  This probably just means - no cut offs or tube tops.

I'd wear whatever you normally wear to weddings.

Where is it and what time of day? How formal are these people? Do you think they were trying to make sure certain clueless guests realized this wasn't Luke backyard BBQ attire appropriate.

DH just ended up texting the groom..apparently they dont even know what it means-they just thought it sounded cool-that should be a clue right there.  The groom is wearing a suit with bow tie and flip flops.  I could wear anything it seems.  I think I am going with a black dress though,,,it's an evening reception at some place in Ellicott City

Suit with bow tie and flip flops...that's a look I've never seen before! And where in Ellicott City?

And the bow tie and flip flops....does anyone else think of PeeWee Herman?

I am hoping and praying it's a khaki suit- that's a very beachy/preppy look. 

I would probably wear a nice sundress if that is what the groom is wearing.

Oaklands and Waverly come to mind. Id wear what you would normally wear to a wedding, I hate made up dress codes!

OMG.  First of all, that's totally made up and it sounds so silly--like they had a form to fill out and didn't know what to put so that sounded sophisticated.  Second, I hardly think suit+bow tie+flip flops = wedding classy.

I'd go with a dressier sundress or a more casual summer cocktail dress.

For EC, the first thing I thought of was Turf Valley but that's not a mansion.

Oh and FTR anytime I see the word classy in writing I always think that it will be anything but.
