I'm going to be a rule-breaker this weekend
I know the dinner is "formal," but I won't be. Not to worry, I'll be presentable, but I just can't see buying something that will be worn once. (I'm so not a "formal" person, and am still losing, so it's not like I would be investment buying for my wardrobe.) And it's not at all about the money, but the idea.
Anyway, I'll be as dressed up as I ever get for work, but definitely not formal or even "dressy."
Confession time over, lol.
Don't worry about it at all. I was going to rent a tux but after seeing the outfit that my wife brought home for this thing and the fact that I have very few things that fit me, I'm wearing a sportcoat and as dark a pair of pants that I have. I have several nice flannel lined pants that I live in (when not in jeans) because I freeze all of the time. I don't believe anyone would appreciate me in them though. As far as I'm concerned, all the ladies could come naked and I bet most of the men wouldn't mind at all!
Look forward to seeing you again!

Hey Ruth - can't wait to see you!! I think you got the message from the other folks -- doesn't really matter what you wear!! I am still not sure what I will be in, and like you, I hope I am still going to lose more so I don't want to necessarily buy anything.
Just be happy and comfortable!!
love
