Anymore the standard "dress comments" on an invite fall on deaf ears so to speak. There is always one guest who is clueless or simply does not care and dresses otherwise. "Black Tie", "Business dress", "Casual", and "Cocktail" all speak to the level of formality. A "Black and White Affair" would be something to which you wear black and white. That I have heard these are formal, however, the time of the event will be indicative, normally a 4 pm barbeque would not imply formal attire, catch my drift?
If the person whom sent you the invite is someone you know well, just ask their intentions, as far as dress code. They will appreciate that you are making the effort to "play the part." Many hosts/hostesses set dress codes to see people out of their everydayness and make there soiree an "event."

A Black and White Affair means it's a formal affair. Women wear gowns (any color) and the men wear tuxedos

Oh it is so much fun ! Yes, Black and White is a party theme and they mean dress in Black and . or White only. It is stunning when the group is together. Stick with the theme, you can still show your individual style ; black and white are classic. Have fun!
