Underdressed is best
Okay, so I'm the voice of dissension. I would much rather be underdressed. I despise being overdressed; it makes me self-conscious and uncomfortable. Additionally, I have kind of a formal manner and nice but casual clothes help to temper that perception.
In a situation such as described, I would take a chance by dressing moderately: wearing a nice, long (possibly jean) skirt and black top that can be dressed up or down. I would leave my heels, jewelry, and possibly a nice jacket or dressier top in the car, just in case. For an event that requires more dress than that, I'm sure I would have received a much more formal invitation.
