What should I wear to this off-beat event?
Consider the following: Friday, June 24, 2011 - 3 wonderful days after the beginning of summer. Hamilton, New Jersey - the middle of New Jersey (a warm and humid state with no conceivable breeze). Amanda and Steve - two laid-back, free-spirited type people.
Put all these ingredients together and you have your answer! We want our family and friends to be comfortable, breezy, and ready to have fun! Don't feel hampered down by the social confines that tell you: "you MUST wear a dark suit" or "you MUST wear pantyhose and heels." For men or women the attire is business casual (even though the only business going on will be getting down!) Feel free to wear linen, short sleeves, sandals, dashiki, sari, sun dresses, rolled up sleeves, breathable fabric, sun hats, flowers in hair, oriental parasols, dress shirts, seersuckers, maxi dresses, khakis, light colored suits, newsboy caps, fedoras, etc. Steve and I will be only slightly more dolled up than we usually are so feel free to follow suit.
Also feel free to leave at home: bow ties (unless you are trying to make a quirky statement), sky high heels, girdles, patent leather, heavy jackets. Of the very casual attire, please definitely leave at home: shorts, sneakers, jeans, baseball caps.
Most importantly, be cool! You will be spending time outside, in the splendor that is Sayen Garden's natural flora, and when you are inside the Sayen House, I expect you to be on that dance floor! So dress accordingly :)
Be creative, be comfortable, be yourself!
so birthday suits are out?? think I will resurect my old Nehru suit. Put some beads on and grow my hair. Should that make a statement?
ReplyDeleteHaha A Nehru suit would be awesome! Birthday suits however are out of the question. Not because of us, but because it's technically at a public park! Haha!
