  The fathers can wear what they want.  The groom chooses his attire and that of the groomsmen.  Unless he asked for your help, stay out of it.

  <div>Just because her fiance hasn't asked for her help, it doesn't mean she has to stay out of it.  Her fiance may not necessarly have asked for her help but is assuming she is going to take care of it.  Some grooms just want to show up and that's it.  If that is the case, then her questions are valid and it would be nice to give her opinions and ideas.</div><div>
  </div><div>You can do whatever you want.  Both of our fathers will be wearing the same suits as the rest of the bridal party.  One, because neither of them own a suit and neither of them want to buy one.  Two, it's easier for them to just have us tell them what to wear instead of them having to go shop for something.  To make them different from each other, you can do different bouts, different colored vests and ties, or pocket squares.  The options are endless and have fun with it.</div>

  Thank you ystaalenburg and edielaura for your ideas we appreciate it very much.
  
  My fiance actually has requested my help in deciding on the suits. He wants to make sure everyone looks suitable for the photos since we are spending so much money on them and it is the most important thing to us in regards to our marraige and the wedding.
  
  I did leave something out and that is my future MIL 'swas going to grab something out of my future FIL's closet and that's what he was going to wear. Something "casual" as she put it, we were both shocked... That is why I posted this questions. 
  
  
  Thank You

  My FI chose to purchase dark grey suits instead of renting tuxes. We ok'd it with the BM & Groomsmen and offered the option of purchasing new or wearing an existing to the dads & ushers. The salesman at Men's Warehouse suggested the following: ivory shirt/ ivory tie for the groom (my dress is off-white), white shirt/ purple tie for the BM & groomsmen, white shirt/ black tie for the dads, white shirt/ silver tie for the ushers. All of the ties are going to be solid satin - to keep it coordinating. Plus it looks formal enough for a wedding without being a formal event.
  
  Bottom line: it's your day, it's your wedding. Go with your gut. You have to be happy with the small details b/c you're probably the only person that is going to remember them.... Best advice I got from a bride: speak your mind when you feel strongly about something. If you don't, you'll regret it later.
