Attire Inspiration Board
The attire for the evening is semi-formal and wearing a masquerade mask is recommended. Guests are encouraged to go bright, bold, and florescent.
Dress to dazzle or keep it classic—either way, you'll blend in perfectly. For those wanting to embrace the theme, here’s some inspiration to spark your creativity.
