FOB and FOG tuxes?

Do the Tuxes for the Father of the Bride and Father of the Groom usually match the groomsmens?

They can, but they don't have to.  Parents of the B&G can wear whatever they want to.  They are not part of the WP and as such, you don't get to choose their attire. 

Dads can wear the same tux, they can wear suits.  The only thing that they should match is the formality of the event.  If the attire is suits/tuxes, then the dads probably shouldn't wear polo shirts and khakis (although again, if that's what they want, that's what they do.)

At our DD's wedding, my husband wore the same tux, but opted for dark shoes instead of the Nike Live Strong shocks that the rest of the men wore.  At our son's wedding, my DH wore the same tux.

Hope this helps.  GL:

They choose what they want to wear.  My dad wore a tux, but with a bow tie.  (The GM wore vests).  My FIL wore a suit.

The dads get to decide what they want to wear just as they do every other day of their lives. 

For my daughter's wedding, the FOB, FOG and SFOG all chose to wear the same thing as the groom and groomsmen....a black tuxedo with a black bow tie and cummerbund.

Our dads are both wearing tuxes. The GMs and FI are having colored vests with black shirts but the dads are wearing black vests with white shirts. They definitely don't have to match. We went the tux route because neither have a suit.

The FOG and FOB will be matching at my wedding.  They are wearing tuxedos and it's just easier to get everyone the same suit.

Ours didn't.  The dads wore classic black and white tuxes and the GM wore black shirts with red vests/ties.  I think I gave the dads the option and they chose the classic route.
