FAQs​
What will the night look like?
Check-in and cocktail hour will last from 6-7 pm. Dinner, dancing, and other fun surprises will follow and end by 10:30 pm. Parking is free and there is plenty of it.
What do I wear?
This is not the night for your “just rolled out of bed” hoodie, your holey jeans, or that shirt you got for free at camp in 2006. Save those for… literally any other day.
Ladies: Pull out that dress you always say, “I’ll save for something special.” Guess what? This is the something special. Sequins? Yes. Heels? Absolutely (but flats are fine if you’re planning on sprinting to the dance floor when the dueling pianos take the stage). Pro tip: if your outfit makes people say ‘whoa, didn’t know they had that in their closet,’ you nailed it.
Gentlemen: Break out the suits, blazers, ties, or a sharp button-down that says, “Yes, I ironed this just for you.” A suit is always a win, but a blazer and nice pants totally do the trick. Bonus points if it looks like you didn’t dig it out of the backseat of your car. We’re going for “gala chic” people, not YL skit closet.
The vibe? Fancy, but fun. Think “James Bond meets Young Life leader at the all-you-can-eat buffet.”
So shine up, dress up, and show up—because nothing pairs better with Big Cookie than confidence and a killer outfit.
