    I would always ask, but you can't go wrong with dressy casual. For instance, you might wear an oversized blazer with a cami, straight-leg jeans, and a great heel. Then, you could accessorize that with a chunky necklace or statement earrings.

    It depends on the time and location of the party. For a casual, afternoon party, a comfortable but cool outfit would be a good choice, but for an evening party at a fancy location, you will need something dressier.

    My friend usually applies my makeup when we go to parties. This time I got invited to a party and she didn't. Is it weird to invite her over just so she could apply my makeup?
    Community Answer
    I would try to avoid doing that, you don't want to hurt her feelings. Try looking up makeup tutorials on YouTube instead, and/or just go for an understated look that's easy to do yourself.

    This depends on the bride and groom on how you want to dress. Try looking at the invitation again for any clues and you may find something useful.
