Friday Funnies: Christmas Black Tie Party with A Twist!

Every year since 1998 we've hosted a traditional formal Black Tie Christmas party for friends.  Everyone always looks forward to this annual event as it's so much fun.  Last year we decided to change it up a bit as most folks didn't want to spend money on fancy clothes etc. Our theme: Black Tie with a Twist!  Half formal and half crazy mixed up fun!  It was so fun last year that everyone wanted to do the same this year.  Here are just a few of the wild and crazy outfits people created! 

Sit back and relax - take a break from Christmas (holiday) activities and smile at this wacky group of fun -loving people!Gary, Lori and Randy

Happy Holidays to Everyone!

Ana the party looks like everyone had fun, but not a bit of banana yellow to be found? How could that be?

Hi Anna What great fun and what a fun bunch of people.  I am sure you are the inspiration for humor and great fun Hope your Christmas was wonderful and hope you have a Happy New Year ( and I am sure you will make sure of that )

BTW  I have received the best Christmas Gift ever On Dec 22...finally...my new grandson entered the world to celebrate Christmas at 7 pounds 13 oz.  I haven]t seen him yet ( only photo's-  he looks just like my husbands baby pics) but I will see him soon if the weather permits travel over the mountains to Penn State.

Anna, now how much fun was that? I must have missed the invitation, LOL.

We used to have our holiday party on "Russian" New Year, which follows Russian Orthodox Christmas. I would tell everyone they had to dress "Russian". Boy did we get a few good ones, LOL. Most people, when given the chance, will really ham it up!

Hi Everyone - I've been so busy with Holiday events I  haven't had much time to get back in the rain! Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying our fun pics. I'm going to do some hyper local posts on these folks as most of them are friends and business associates - great people that I'd love to introduce to rain land. 

Happy New Year to everyone!! I hope to touch base with all of you soon!

Anna,

Gotta love the tux with the shorts!  Now there's a reality I'm trying hard to avoid...

Anna,

GREAT PARTY!!! Everyone looked awesome and had a wonderful time. Loved the dancing in the end. I wish more people had dancing at their home parties, it's so much fun. Met some wonderful new faces. Thanks again and I think the biker chaps went over well.   :) Let's have a prosperous 2010!

Anna, we are more like-minded than I thought! I love parties with a twist, too. We've hosted a family-friendly Christmas party over the years so our kids have a great time and memories, too. But I can't ever do it the same. Last year we did a North Pole mystery party, in costume. Tons of fun having elves and reindeer and snowman and the like show up. This year, we had an outdoor photo scavenger hunt. It was a little cold, but there were good prizes!

Looks like your party was enjoyed by all. Happy New Year.
