High School Reunion Advice

My ten-year high school reunion is coming up this summer.

I was wondering what I'm supposed to wear to this silly thing. Skirt, simple dress, dressy dress, or semi-formal? They haven't announced any kind of dress code, and I'd feel silly being over- or underdressed.

Has anyone been to a reunion yet? Any advice?

Simple dress

I went to my ten year and our school ended up being banned from the Embassy Suites. We were a pretty hard partying class.

My 20 year is this year. Scary, huh!

Wow... and I thought I was old...

My only advice is :

FUCK high school, and fuck high school reunions. I can't think of a worse way to waste my time.

I can't imagine any group I want to see less than the fuckers I went to high school with. Christ...

I'd go more on the casual side. But then I hate to be overdressed more so than underdresses. At least if you're underdressed you're comfortable.

Wow, my ten year reunion is going to be in 2 years. I hope I have a college degree by then.

I'm SOOOOOOOOO tempted to go in this (minus gloves)...

Nah, you gotta wear the gloves. They make the outfit. Cool dress.

I vote for Gothic Lolita Style!

I want that dress.
You should definately wear that one!!! You'll look extra fancy. Who cares what everyone else is wearing, go for it!

I don't really care what everyone else is wearing (as you can see by that dress). I just didn't know if these things tend to be simply dressy or semi-formal.

I looooooove that dress. I found it at Torrid.

From the wisdom of my friend J, I offer this suggestion. Mind you, I missed attending my own reunion, but this is what I might have done......

Find out what hotel, banquet room, banquet hall, wherever the reunion is supposed to take place. Then have a friend drive you there about 2 hours early. Do this preferably in a vehicle with tinted windows, or something that can pretty much obscure anyone's view from the outside. Park the car somewhere close to the lot where the attendees will be parking in.

Have a big fat joint on hand, and smoke up. Then wait and watch as your former classmates, tormentors, cheerleaders, jocks, geeks, losers, and whomever arrive. Giggle profusely with your friend as you recall random stories of them. Stare at their bald, obese, "tore up from the floor up" selves and know that you just saved yourself at least $75. I'm sure the expression on your face will be priceless.

i am supposed to plan my high school reunion. [stupid senior class president.. if i had known i wouldn't have run]

they keep e-mailing me. i have never loved the "delete" button so much.

i had moved by the time my 10 year rolled around, my mom tried to tell them my contact info in sweden, and they told her, i had to call it in...
i didnt like any one in my class why would i waste my money on a phone call???
(i started a new school, senior year)


and oh yeah sorcha...that dress rocks!

The first time I got something for my five year reunion, I wrote "deceased" on it and sent it back. They never bothered me about the ten year, and I suppose that whether or not to invite me to the 20 year will hardly be an issue as well. As a bonus, I never get those alumni-fund-raising calls either (I went to a private school).

I so vote for this, you should wear something like this. That would rule!

Highschool reunions seem really stupid to me...

It's a room filled with people you can't stand...

and all they do is brag about themselves all nite...
"look at me now"
"blah blah blah"

Okay, now I want every outfit that's on that link...*drool*

No kidding. I could spend hundreds of dollars there.

I'm going to the reunion in THIS:

I will be wearing shorts and a t-shirt to mine as it will be in the summer and therefore too hot for jeans.

My ten year is coming up this year and I think I'd rather rub myself with a cheese grater than come within ten miles of it.

I dig the dress though

yes...wikkid dress
