Tuxedos

mjmessina

Are the dads involved in your wedding wearing tuxedos?  Both of our dads have asked to wear tuxedos which is cool with us, but we don't know if they are supposed to be in the same tuxedos as the wedding party?  Should they have the same tux, but different shirt colors from the groomsmen?  Should the two dads match each other?  How is everyone here doing it?

Yep, our dads and grandfathers are wearing tuxedos.

All men are wearing a black classic tux from Men's Warehouse. All men are also wearing white shirts (I'm wearing a light ivory).
 
The groom is wearing an ivory pattern tie and vest, the groomsmen are wearing the same pattern tie and vest but in black and the dads/gf are wearing the same pattern but in a dark grey.

Similar to PP, our dads are wearing tuxes. Not sure about FFIL yet, but my dad is wearing his own black tux, black tie and ivory shirt. FI is wearing a rented black tux, ivory shirt, and ivory tie and vest, GM are wearing black tux, ivory shirt, and dark gold tie and vest.

Ours are exactly the same as October010....the dad are in the same tux but they are wearing a dark grey or platinum (can't remember).  We wanted my dad to coordinate with my stepmom and the rest of the wedding party, but not match exactly.

we had a similar situation to pp.  they all had the same classic black tuxedo w/ white shirt.  dh had a brown vest/tie, groomsmen had a champagne color vest/tie (bm had ivory, since my moh had an ivory sash while the rest of the bm had champagne) and the dads had black.  it all tied together pretty well.  here's a pic if it helps:

I guess I'm the odd bride out. Our father's are not planning on wearing a tux. My mother (whose paying for our wedding) doesn't think it's necessary for them to pay money to rent the tux when all the fathers (mine, fiancés father, and fiancés step father) have very nice suits.

We will still be giving them a boutonniere. They just won't be in tuxes like the groomsman.

We are having both in a tux although fi's father still doesn't fully believe me.  They will wear your basic black tux black vest etc.  We haven't fully figured out the guys but it looks like they will be drastically different if we can make it work

Both Dad's owned their own tuxes- so they were not the same as the GMs. We had the GM wearing ties, and so the Dads just wore different ties that coordinated with their ladies
