Please help me find some events, nice restaurants, and semi-formal occasions to get really dressed up for in and around southern New England, and not feel overdressed, for a bunch of 45-year-olds?
I recommend Cuchi Cuchi (warning, still plays music) in Cambridge often as a place where my friends and I like to play dress-up. It's tapas and nice cocktails, and all of the wait-staff wear fabulous outfits, so at worst we look like we're trying to work there. It's a teeny bit camp, though, so if your folks want to be truly and deeply elegant, it might not be the place for you.

I recommend high tea at Tea Roses in Connecticut

When I was there, there we a great many nicely dressed folks enjoying the excellent tea and food.
I've also heard Still River Cafe is good, it's in Eastbridge.

Yes, Still River Cafe is definitely on the dressy side (it's in Eastford, not Eastbridge). Was less semi-formal than your average wedding. Excellent food, and worth the trip!

Maybe host a themed fancy dinner or get-together? I have a friend who hosts a murder mystery party every year; last year it was 1920s-themed and everyone dressed to the nines.
