I was under the impression the Parents of the Bride and Groom usually dress like the party but with their own special destinction.so I am also wondering…

   The PPs pretty much covered it but... 1. Your parents are not apart of the WP. 2. They should dress however they like.

   1. No, they are just guests of honor. 2. I've always seen the fathers wear tuxes like the GMs. The mothers wear a nice dress, that they get to choose, normally not in the same color as the BMs, but they can, if they want to. Usually, they get some sort of corsage to signify that they are a guest of honor. (Fathers get a…

   1) Parents are not considered part of the wedding party 2) Since they are not part of the wedding party you cannot tell them what they must wear. They do not need to match or coordinate the wedding party. They are guests of honor and can wear whatever they wish. They are also adults and do not need to have their hand held…

   In all the mid-west weddings I've seen 1) they were not part of the wedding party. 2) They did not match. One two occasions, the mothers had flowers pinned on wiht a ribbon that matched the wedding colors. They did not sit at the head table (I have yet to go to a wedding with a sweetheart table), and sometimes the dads…

   1. Nope, not unless you ask them to be BMs or GMs. They are "guests of honor". 2. Nope. Refer to point one. Your father should wear whatever he's comfortable in. No one will side-eye your wedding if the father of the bride or father of the groom are wearing different formalwear than the WP. It is considerate of them to…

   1. Parents are not considered part of the WP. The party consists of your BMs, GM, and child attendants. Sometimes it includes the ushers. 2. My mother selected a dress of her choice. She incorporated one of our colors into her jacket, but it was not a color that the BMs or GM wore. My father happily wore the same tux that…

   1. They're included in formal photos and stuff like that. But we didn't consider our parents as part of the wedding party in the sense that we could pick out their outfits or have them standon the altar with us like the bridesmaids and groomsmen did. 2. We told our dads to dress however they wanted. They elected to rent…

   1. Our parents were not considered part of the wedding party. They were hosts, honored guests, or something like that. 2. Our parents did not match each other and only minimally matched the wedding party. My dads wore black tuxes that DH and I made arrangements for when we picked out his tux, but they all agreed ahead of…

I have not had my wedding yet but i have NEVER…
