For a staff party at night on the weekend, I would take that as meaning you don't HAVE to dress up crazy formal, but I would assume at least some coworkers would dress up a fair amount. Basically, I think it means men will be in khakis and women will be in anything.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wear your khaki corset.

What kind of soulless micro-manager sends out memos about dress codes for a weekend party?

I'm now tempted to buy this llama cookie cutter.
Hm, business casual for a weekend party. Lame, first of all. Who wants to wear work-type clothes on the weekend? Make it either casual-casual so I can break out my geeky t-shirt collection, or go dressy so I can wear that cute little red dress I bought for the Harlequin party two years ago and haven't had an occasion for since, sheesh, people.
Keeping in mind that my office is so casual-casual that the majority of us wear jeans and it doesn't even have to be Blue Friday for it to be OK to show up in Seahawks gear, I'd probably wear nice pants, but with a shinier top and blingier accessories than I'd wear in daytime.

JZ - my one annual work party is officially business casual so people who don't want to get dressed up don't have to, but people generally do. Corset it up! No one is going to reprimand you for being too festive.
In general I think "business casual" is a lower limit, not an upper.
Heh. I just can't deal with extra caffeine. But I really like coffee!
This is exactly why I am transitioning to decaf! I'm actually out of regular coffee this morning, maybe I will try jumping straight to full decaf - if I get the telltale withdrawal headache I'll go buy more leaded.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
As it turned out, only one of the classes was cancelled last week, so we only had one class today. Still have to try to reschedule the other one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well, the CMO will be there, so it's not just a regular weekend party.
But, really, either the dress code should have been stated with the original invitation, or not at all. Barely the day before is just not on.

That sounds like someone asked and whoever was in charge wanted to not place expectations too high. Wear what you want.

I'll have to work on a stern and steely gaze to accompany the statement, "Of COURSE this is business casual. Please note that it's an underbust corset."

A stern and steely gaze sounds like the perfect accessory for any work party.
