Oh, I need to plan for the 15th NOW shouldn't I!!!!
(or are we not invited, I'm not quite sure as we never got an actual invite)
If we are, is it black tie? or long dress or cocktail dress or umm?

Yes indeed :) You are definitely invited - I was rather disorganised about mailing invites so you may well have missed out there but I knew you were on LJ :)

I'm defining the dress code as "dressy". Alex is wearing a 3 piece suit with his Brownies T-shirt on underneath! I am wearing an evening gown. On the other hand this is because I *love* wearing evening gowns. Don't feel obliged to (a) spend money or (b) be uncomfortable but other than that do dress up :)

Thanks.

Umm, having dealt with the important issue of frocks, it now occurs to me that I should ask about the trivial question of what time of day it is?

Oh, scratch that, I've just read the small print on the previous post that specifies evening (as I assumed) - but what's the starting time?

7pm. I'm now wondering if there are more people that I assumed I'd see and didn't post invites to...
