Dress to impress

Put it this way, I'd rather go over-dressed than under-dressed. Go all out with a nice suit, decent shoes, pocket square etc. and then you can ditch the jacket if needs be.

This is what I would do. A suit is acceptable if it was meant to be black tie. It is also acceptable if people around you dress down. Nice shirt, tie and pocket square - the tie can be removed if you discover everyone else is dressed slightly more casually.

Or contact the organisers and ask.

Conventionally balls are black tie,
but only chavs would expect black tie and not state it specifically on the invitation, so just go in a suit.
If it is mostly during the day, maybe a linen suit.

The organiser is just being ignorant, nobody likes vague invitations.
