Did your fiances choose the groomsmen formal wear?

Question: did your fiances have anything to do with choosing the groomsmen tuxes/suits/wear? We're at the 3 month mark until our wedding and my fiance has not even mentioned it to his groomsmen. To him, a black-and-white tux/suit is a black-and-white tux/suit. He is totally unaware that some suits differ from one another in fit, color, etc. Should I take it upon myself to make the decision? Should I drag him with me to a formalwear shop so he can decide what he wants?  He is wearing his military dress blues, so he is totally not worried about what he will wear, let alone what his groomsmen will wear...

Generally, the Groom should go and pick out tuxes for his groomsmen to wear.  Now, if he doesn't care if they're all different styles/colors/etc... then I guess it doesn't matter.  But if you're looking for them to match I would encourage him to go with you and pick something out.  Just because he is wearing his dress blues doesn't mean he just says "whatever" about his groomsmen tuxes.  I know most groomsmen expect to be asked to get fitted for a certain tux and pay a tux rental fee.  Also, don't forget that most of the time groomsmen all wear the same color vest/tie (in one of your wedding colors) so it's probably a good idea to remind your fiance of this and that it's important to pick something out for them!

My FI just picked them out, but I went with him.  I needed to match what my FI and ringbeares w/ the color of my dress, but that's all I did.  FI did the rest!!

My FI had the same opinion. I kind of actually did too. I just ended up dropping him off at the tux shop (the woman who owns it knows her stuff so I knew he was in good hands) and telling him to pick something out. I just cornfirmed the vest color and style when I picked him up and we were done.

I'm at just over 3 months. My FI has an idea of what he wants to wear (classic black tux), and I mentioned the other day that he should figure out what he wants his GMs to wear, especially since 2 are out of town, so we'll have to coordinate with them and get measurements.

I want them to wear tuxes (which FI does too), but he had absolutely no say in my attire or the BM attire, so I'm leaving his side up to him.

Really, though, they only need a month or two to order the tuxes and get them in after everyone gets measured.

H chose our GMs outfits and his own.  He did an excellent job!

It was a group effort for us. FI can't make a decision to save his life and just says "Ok, good" to anything I pick out. But I did force him into looking at a few different options. But 85% was me and 15% was him saying "ok, good"  lol

FI hates tuxes, so he and the guys will be wearing their own dark suits. Now, for some reason he actually hasn't communicated this to them yet (wedding is in four months.) I keep telling him he needs to let them know since they are probably wondering. But he doesn't seem in any hurry and I am not going to push it. It's his responsibility and I have far more to worry about!
