Father & Father In Law Tuxes

wolfeyes528

Hi everyone

My fiance's dad and my dad will most likely be in tuxes - the question is...what color should the vest be? Matches the groomsmen? or just a different color. I don't want it to be the same color as the groom. 

HELP!

They should wear whatever they want to wear. The fathers don't need to match the wedding party, since they are not IN the wedding party.  A nice suit would be fine, unless you are hosting a black/white tie affair.

my FI, groomsmen, dad and FIL are all wearing the same tux. FI in white tie, GM coral ties, and our dads are wearing black ties

If your dad is escorting you down the aisle, you may want to make sure his look coordinates with yours. Otherwise, I don't think it matters whether or not they match the groomsmen.

Let them pick what color. My dad wanted to wear a tux w/ black vest and tie, so he is
