One secondary application of the fly plaid I've seen is to a Christening. It was used to wrap the baby in. I think I've seen that on XMarks, too. Kind of full circle--wedding then baby's Christening.

It makes me wish people still used "informal evening dress" and "formal evening dress" rather than black and white tie (respectively).
Indeed. Fantastic point!

The trouble is that in today's vernacular, if a host were to specify "informal evening dress", some might show up in jeans and a logo'ed tee shirt, sweats or even jammies.

Which only adds to my lamentations!
