Sometimes location has nothing to do with it and the employees and spouses just like to dress up or down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973657 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 14:44:26 +0000 Orchid 1973657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: lol!

We usually carry-out, but I have walked past many of shindigs there with tons of smartly dressed folks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973550 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 11:39:20 +0000 sunny 1973550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just attended DH's company holiday party at a hotel ballroom and I wore a cocktail dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973498 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 10:23:41 +0000 krispi 1973498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the party and the location. My husband's work part was last night at Hard Rock. I wore corduroy pants with a nice top and flats. Last year, theirs was at a nice Italian restaurant (do other people have Maggianos) and I wore a sweater dress with boots. The year before that, they had it at a country club, and I wore a nice cocktail dress and felt overdressed. That was the first year he worked there, so I learned my lesson and now have him ask some of the females he works with what they're going to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973323 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 06:20:52 +0000 mediagirl 1973323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask him to ask about dress code. Our party is casual to dressy, just depends who you are and what you want to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973320 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 06:17:21 +0000 Andrea 1973320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask them about the dress code. I always had to buy a long, black tie dress for my husband's parties. A LBQ would have been too casual. Not saying that would be the case here, but it is better to check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973319 Sat, 06 Dec 2014 06:17:19 +0000 Andrea 1973319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask them about the dress code.

Otherwise I would do cocktail dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973194 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:53:26 +0000 Synchronicity 1973194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought my husband's this year (new job) would be more of a cocktail party, and then he asked some of the women in the office and they said a lot of them wear long formal gowns :shocked: I went out and bought something pretty dressy because I really didn't want to be underdressed. I'm glad he asked! Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973183 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:39:38 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1973183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, LBD is a great choice. </p> <p>Quick story- right after college I attended my BF's company holiday party. It was held at a hotel ballroom. I went all out to look festive and wore a teal cocktail dress with gold thread and curled my hair. Everyone else- men &amp; women- were in black, navy, or gray suits like a funeral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973178 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:35:28 +0000 blackbird 1973178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of place is it at? I don't think you can go wrong with a LBD </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-party#post-1973145 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 21:03:06 +0000 pinkcupcake 1973145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I feel kinda silly asking this, but I've never worked for a company that had an "official" holiday party (it's always been a small lunch or something during work hours). This year, though, we'll be going to my husband's company party and I have no idea what to expect. It's in the evening so I'm planning on wearing a little black dress... I'm assuming it's like a cocktail hour?? I just have no idea what to expect :O </p>
