Some of the older gals had beaded dresses and tops, which I guess pass as fancy, but I don't recall anyone being over the top dressy. Many men had on a tux, some had on a suit, some just jacket and tie because that's what they own. I wouldn't expect anyone to pay money to buy or rent clothing to wear for a couple hours as a guest.

If someone expends the effort to create a special occasion, and honors me with an invitation, I believe I should dress in a style complementary to the occasion. I was taught that doing less is considered rude and disrespectful to the host.
