Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Black tie' means that you have to wear a tux (US) or a dinner jacket (UK). Any color is fine, but black is recommended for gentlemen. If you were to wear a white jacket, then black pants are appropriate. Shoes should be pumps or patent leather oxfords (closed laces).
A Black Tie event means you hav to wear a tux but maybe this isnt a black tie event, Definateley a suit with a Tie or Bow Tie and dress pants dress shirt. If i was you i would wear a Tux with a nice tie. If you dont have a tux BUY ONE, Youll need one soon anways.
The types of dress clothing that are appropriate for a black tie event are usually a black tux for men with vest and or cumberbun and for a women a floor length gown that is somewhat fancy.
Girls like a black tux and a tie that is the same color as their dress. like if she wore a green and blue dress, wear a green or blue tie.BUT A BLACK TUX AND WHITE SHIRT!! i know this because i have been 2 several proms.
i would suggest a white tux with a brown vest and tie. or you both can go all brown, and have him get a brown tux. but my suggestion would be the white.
Women's black tie must not always be a long gown; indeed, several fashion authorities consider a "short, dressy cocktail dress" acceptable. http://www.blacktieguide.com/Supplemental/Ladies.htm

Very dressy. Tux and formals.
In classic usage, "semi-formal" implies a jacket for the man, though not a dinner jacket or tux jacket.
He dressed realy casual with a tie and blazer or Tux
