If you have been invited to your friend's birthday party, you are probably already wondering about as to what you should wear. Sometimes a birthday party can be in the form of a formal dinner, sometimes it can be a barbecue, and sometimes it is celebrated as a night at the clubs. Therefore, dressing appropriately can be very challenging.

One of the most difficult things to decipher nowadays is the dress code that is mentioned in invitations. While it is pretty easy to understand what casual and formal mean, sometimes the new kinds of dress code like dressy formal or casual formal can be very difficult to understand. However, all is not lost. You can make an educated guess about what you should wear for your friend's birthday by observing some things.

Firstly, you need to look at the time. If the birthday party is at night, then you need to be a little more dressed up than a sundress. However, if the party is during the day, like at lunch or in the early afternoon, then you should probably not wear a black shiny mini dress, and instead opt for something more pastel in colours or slightly bright but not too overdressed.

Secondly, you should look at the location. If your friend is throwing the party at her house, then it could be a very formal dinner and for this you should wear something very classy. However, if it is being thrown in a club, then you know that you need to dress up to the nines, like you would if you were going for clubbing.

Thirdly, you should think about your friend's age. Someone who is turning fifty is less likely to throw a dance party as compared to someone who is turning twenty three or even thirty. You can Make an educated guess about what you should wear based on your friend's age.

Finally, you need to think about your friend's personality. If you friend is very bubbly and likes going to clubs, then she must have probably arranged a party that will be fun for her. If your friend is more interested in staying at home, then you are probably going to a party that is more serious.

One of the simplest things you can do when you can't decide is to dress in something very timeless. A little black dress is the perfect thing to wear when you don't know what you should wear. If you have one that fits you perfectly, and looks great on you, then you should wear it in case you aren't sure about the dress code.

Even after looking at all the factors you are still confused; ask any other friends who are also invited, for advice. If they are all dressing up, it means you should dress up as well since you would never want to feel like the odd one out.

Deciding what to wear at a birthday party is not that difficult, and you can definitely make the right choice if you look at all the factors stated above and make an educated decision.
