Black Tie Optional
Help me!
One of the weddings I talked about below (the one happening in August) is going to be "Black Tie Optional."
The venue is gorgeous, but very formal. However, I talked to my friend and she said she really is just hoping people won't wear jeans (like "dressed-up club wear") or khakis/polos. I asked if my husband could wear slacks/tie or slacks/jacket/no tie, and she said either of those were completely acceptable.
So....uh....what should I wear? (I know I have time, but I'm hoping I could maybe snag something on sale as formal event season ends...)

Is a cocktail dress okay? When I first asked about it, our other mutual friend said "Ballgowns" and laughed. The bride's response "Well, it doesn't really have to be a ball gown, but fancy."
Should I try to do floor length? Or would tea length be okay? If it's a shorter dress, maybe in a darker color or metallic?
Tell the bride to stop being ambiguous!
I'd be leery to do floor length unless you know a lot of others doing the same. If you do go knee or tea, yes, I'd probably do an LBD with a statement piece of jewelery. I can shop later if you want!
