🎉 50th Reunion Weekend Update! 🎉

We’re getting excited to celebrate together, and want to share the dress code for both events so everyone can plan comfortably:

👕 Friday Night – Casual Attire
Come relaxed and comfortable! Jeans, polos, sundresses—whatever feels good.

👗 Saturday Night – Dressy Casual
A step up from everyday wear. Think nice black dresses, dress slacks, and button-down shirts—polished but not formal.

Looking forward to an unforgettable weekend with all of you. Can’t wait to see everyone! 🥳✨
