what is semiformal, anyway?

the real work on invites has finally begun. they were designed months ago, but today i completed the final formatting and printing, and started assembling them. yes, assembling. with a hammer, even :)


today i also had to deal with the issue of dress code. so i consulted the master, Miss Emily Post. in case you're wondering like i was, here's what she has to say about semiformal (full list here):

Semiformal
For Men:
  • dark, business suit
  • matching vest (optional)
  • dress shirt
  • conservative tie
  • dressy leather shoes and dark dress socks
For Women:
  • short afternoon or cocktail dress
  • a little black dress
  • long dressy skirt and top
  • dressy separates


there is still quite a bit of work to do, but hopefully these will be heading out in the mail soon.
