Women Wedding Suits

What do you wear at an invitation to a "formal wear" evening night-?

My husband and I are invited to a 30th birthday bash - but its formal or highland wear to be worn - is this different to a black tie event - is it less formal or more - help!!! We're unsure!

1. Your husband need to wear a tuxedo, YOU need to wear the shortest mini dress you can find, wear it like Britney Spears! The host will love seeing your exposed..........Oh, Oh, Hot Dog!
2. Highland wear sounds like kilts to me, but that would only be for the men. I think that if you wore a formal gown, you would be okay. Maybe you can call the person giving the event to ask. By it saying "formal or highland wear", I would guess that it is formal, but men can wear highland dress if they feel it's appropriate.
3. It's black tie or if you're scottish the fully Scottish dress - you know sporan, kilt, waistcoat,socks, bow tie.
4. formal wear = black tie.

6. You seem to have the option of wearing black tie or tartan. The first is probably easier. You - on the other hand - have a choice. These days I have attended many black tie affairs where women wore very dressy cocktail length dresses. Or you can just go for traditional long gown.
