How much does it matter if all the groomsmen have the same tux?
As the wedding planning is going on, there are a lot of things I just don't care about. Our gms are wearing black tuxes, and FI just asked me if I care if they match, or if everyone can wear ones they already own. They'll have similar style shirts, but again I dont' think everyone has to buy all new shirts.
Am I missing anything, or is it fine if the tuxes aren't identical?
Also, side note, I don't like corsages for the Mothers. Remind me of bad prom moments. OK to skip?

Kmbryant, you are 100 percent correct!!!!I'm really trying to take a more relaxed approach to this. I need to remember that all people care about is a happy couple, decent food, and some good music! The rest is gravy.....

We asked our moms what they wanted. Florist could either do wrist corsage, pin it on, or they could carry a small bouquet. Why don't you give them the option? I think it's nice for the moms (and grandmothers) to have some sort of flowers.

Should they match? Ie: if my mom wants a wrist corsage, does FMIL need one too? Or just give them both what they want?
Honestly, I can't even tell the difference between a tux and suit. They all look like penguins to me!

Let them each choose what they want. Our moms chose different options based on what they felt comfortable with.
I would just give them each what they wanted. When it comes to the type of flower arrangement moms want for themselves, it's hardly a hill worth dying on.
As far as black suits go... they all look the same to me. But I figure they're like black dresses. Some might feel they look better in different styles.

I feel like a kindred spirit because I get way too stressed over this stuff, too! Regarding the flowers - I asked my mom and FMIL what their preference was and turned out neither of them actually wanted one. Fine by me! So I would just ask them. I prefer when wedding parties aren't all made to look exactly the same, so I also think the groomsmen wearing different tuxes would be totally fine. I love that you're easy-going enough not to demand that they all go out and buy new shirts. As long as they're fairly similar, they'll look great, and it's going to be a blast.

<div>This. Some moms and grandmas see this as a big honour. </div><div>
