My FI and I were finally trying to decide on the groomsmen attire for the wedding. We're not going traditional, so we're not having them wear tuxes... actually, we're having them wear Hawaiian Aloha shirts in a tan color. (http://kieselwedding.blogspot.com/2009/09/kane-men.html)
The problem we run into are the pants. Since everyone is spread throughout the country, we want to make sure they each have the same color pants. I figured I'd give them a brand- ie, Dockers- and tell them the color, since the color should be the same regardless of the size. I'm running into the issue that Dockers doesn't have the same color in every pant. (I decided dockers bc they're inexpensive.)
I understand that they may already have a "khaki" pant, but I just found out that there are sooooo many varieties of colors!!!! And we want everyone to look consistant.
Anyone have any better ideas on how to get them to buy the same color pant?
Re: Groomsmen Attire
OR they may mention other brands/colors.
Since these should be a 'wear again' item, why not try working within their own wardrobes as a start.
I guess that's a good start.
I just know the guys in our wedding- not professionals. I'm worried about them bringing worn or tattered pants. Although we're going casual, its still a wedding, so I feel its best to have them buy new. Which, with the shirt and the new pants- can easily be less than a tux rental. And the pants can be worn again.
And as for the color of their exisiting pants- I feel like guys wouldn't know the diffrernce btw the shades of Khaki. I feel like they know "khaki" and thats it. LOL

I'd probably have your FI explain to his friends that you'd like them all to have the same color but don't care about the cut or brand and ask them to agree on a brand they all like.

This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
Make sure to include the style number, color, brand, etc. in the email just incase they choose to go to the store...the salesperson will be able to help them find the exact item.
....Guys do not do details well, so I would make sure you sit down with your fiance and write the email with him to send out. I would also include a deadline to order them by. Also to help ensure they all get ordered you and your fiance should send a follow up email confirming all the pants were ordered. Good luck
