What do the dads wear?

My wedding in January isn't formal enough for the men in the bridal party to be wearing tuxes. We've opted to have everyone wear black suits. So, my question is, should the ties of the usher and best man (those are the only two guys in the BP) match the ties of the FOB and FOG? Or should the FOB and FOG wear completely different style and color of ties? Should the FOB and FOG match each other? Any style advice is greatly appreciated!

    My dad wore the same tux as the GM, my FIL wore one of his own suits. I reserved tuxes for both of them and let them know they were available if they wanted them but that it wasn't necessary to order them. So we didn't have matching dads and the wedding still went off without a hitch :)

    Unless they are in the WP, dads choose their own attire. You don't have anything to do with it unless they ask you about the level of formality. Then you would tell them that the WP are wearing black suits.

    We let the dads choose what they wanted to wear. They ended up wearing the same thing as the GM.

    FOB and FOG are not Wp and as such get to pick whatever attiore they would like that matches wedding formality so most likely their favorite suit and tie regardless of suit or tie color

    My wedding happens to be formal, so when my dad asked if he should wear a tux, I told him it wasn't nesessary, but it was up to him. Turns out, all WP and both dads are wearing tuxes. My groom has a different boutenier(sp?) than his guys, and the dads have different than the guys but match each other. It should ultimately be up to each father what he wants to wear, but even if they all end up the same, something as minor as a different tie or flower should be perfectly fine. Heck, if he wants to show up in a hawaiian shirt, so what. Everyone will be looking at YOU
