What is my dad going to wear?

My dad keeps asking me if he gets to wear something to set him apart at the wedding... I don't know.

I was originally thinking that he would wear the same thing as the groomsmen- black tux, black tie, black vest, ivory shirt. My FI is wearing black tux, ivory tie, ivory vest, ivory shirt...

But is that right? I mean, my mom certainly isn't wearing what my bridesmaids are wearing. What about my FFIL? Does he wear the same thing as my dad? What are you doing for your dads?

Help!

    Our dads decided on their own. They elected to match the groomsmen.

    Nobody cares what everyone is wearing. Your guests aren't there to critique the parents and bridal party members. Tell him to wear whatever he wants.

    I have a Dad and Step Dad, both whom are taking part in the wedding because I am very close with each of them and of course my FI's Dad as well.  So, we are having all the men wear tuxes, but my FI will wear one color vest and tie, all the groomsmen another and the three fathers another.  They all seem to agree with this and it is working for us.  But if you are ok with it, let your Dad do what he is comfortable with.

    I left it completely up to my dads. They decided that they wanted to match the bridal party, and since my brothers and FI's brother are in the bridal party, it made sense to me that they would all match. It was, however, their choice. I decided to do a little something special with their ties and with their corsages, just a little something to capture their personalities. But there's no "you're dad must look like this" proclamation. Anyone who cares and bothers to take the time to bring it to your attention is just plain silly.

    My dad decided to wear what the groom/groomsmen were wearing.  I asked what he prefered and he siad he wanted to match.  I don't think anyone will notice either way.

    I'm having my grandfather (who will be walking down the aisle with me) wear what the groomsmen are wearing for the ceremony. For the reception he might just change into a short sleeve dress shirt and shorts, he's weird (read insane) and wears shorts until it's below 0 degrees outside, brrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Oh and all of a sudden out of no where my FMIL seemed upset that I wasn't requiring FFIL to wear what everyone else is wearing. I found this odd, as I was trying to save them money and I really do not care what FFIL wears, and neither does he.

    My dad had picked out a tux and elected to wear a black vest and tie.  Now that we switched to a DW, he's wearing a linen suit to match FI.  I say whatever he's comfortable in.
