Festive attire?

I was invited to a gala on a Tuesday night this month that will be taking place at Ciprianis. There will be a cocktail hour followed by a sit down dinner. The invitation says festive attire. What exactly does this mean I have never heard i before. Thanks!

Re: Festive attire?

Thanks so much everyone. I was at a total loss when it came to this. This gives me a great excuse to go shopping (Im 5 months pregnant and dont fit into any of my cocktail dresses). Unfortunately i'll have to skip the bellini's but I will be indulging in the food!
