Am I crazy for letting my fiance choose his suit/the groomsmen's suits?

Not sure...but my FH got mad at me when I said I wanted to have a say in his tux and the groomsman tuxes too. I said I'd like this color and he got annoyed that he doesn't get to at least have one thing to himself! Oh well...

FH picked the color and the suits himself. I did send suggestions

I let my husband choose his tux but I did approve them and give him some advice as to what to look for. I did not see it until the day of our wedding.

Michelle I think that's great you want to be surprised by his attire! I've never heard anyone say that before, but I like it. I told my FH that he could have final say what he and the groomsmen wear, but I definitely gave him my opinion about it

I let my husband choose the guy's outfits (his only job). Oh my...I greatly regret that we didn't discuss and look at options. I could have narrowed it to 3-5 options, and then he could have chosen whatever. Look at it this way, unless he is able to match colors and knows what is appropriate for various occasions, he could probably use the help. At the very least, make a trip into the store and let the clerk know the venue and tone of the wedding so they can direct him.

Thanks everyone for your advice and comments - I appreciate it and feel less "weird" now. Haha.

Deb - good point about the tone of the wedding. My fiance is pretty good with his style and stuff, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to offer my ideas too. Although I still definitely want to be surprised!

I wanted to do the same thing. His best man worked in a tux shop for a few years during college, and they are roomies, so I figured FH would take best man with him for advice and they could pick it out. I just urged him to try on an ivory tux jacket, and then choose whatever he likes.

Well, apparently I was wrong! My mom told me I was insane, and best man actually shot down the idea as well. He said he doesn't want to be held responsible for a bad choice lol! So I guess I am going with him to pick out tuxes. The thing is, I am a really pushy person when I want something. I feel like I'm going to strong-arm FH into getting an ivory tux because I know it will look amazing on his Mediterranean complexion and would give a great vintage look. But I would rather let him try it on his own and make up his own mind whether he likes it, than have him feel forced to get it because I like it so much.

I don't think it's strange. I put my FH in charge of picking out all the men's attire. He hasn't helped much with other aspects of planning, so this was one thing I asked him to do. Although he didn't do it in the timeframe that I would have liked him to do it in (1 month out and he still has no clue what the ring bearer is wearing), the suits that he picked out for his guys are super nice. I think he put a lot of thought into it because it's going to be a direct reflection on him, and he wanted to be sure he and his guys looked nice.

My husband chose his tux. I don't normally pick out his clothes and he did't pick out my dress, so me picking out his attire would have been strange.

I went with FH to pick the tuxes because HE asked me to but pretty much anything he asked my response was 'You're wearing it, not me.' Lol. The only thing I helped with is when they wanted to give us these Creamsicle colored vests and ties and we wanted a darker orange (Flyers orange to be exact) and I stepped up and pushed them to find us what we wanted.

Michelle...you're not a spaz...you're organized! As of last weekend, the only vendor we really have left to book is our baker, and since we're doing cupcakes from our favorite place, we probably don't have to order until the end of April at the earliest!

I think that is great. Why shouldn't your fh pick out what he is wearing? They way I see it, the wedding isn't just my day, it is both my day and my fh's day. He should be just as involved in the planning. And what makes a bride more qualified to pick out a suit? My fh has more experience doing that then I do.

I would just recommend sending along a swatch of fabric from the bridesmaid dresses. So you fh can make sure that what he picks coordinates.

I am getting married in less then 2 months and my FH still hasn't gone shopping for his suit. Frankly I don't really care what he picks as long as he is comfortable in it. There are so many other things to stress over, I don't think his suit should be one of them. My only request was that he get an off white shirt since my dress isn't stark white and would look dingy if he wore a white shirt.

He's picking it out but he wants me to go with him to make sure it looks ok. I'm sure whatever he picks will be fine.

I think it's great. I would have let FH pick his clothes but he wanted to wear crazy Tiger striped pants so I had to put my foot down on that. I think as long as your FH wants something that is fairly normal, it should be fine!

My FH is picking everything. I'm not allowed input or to see it. He says he wants our first look to be for both of us...I think he wants to stress me out. I love my FH, but he does not have style beyond jeans and t shirts

Meh, I don't think so. FH chose what he wanted and I ended up finding it at a specific store.

Go with whatever works best for you as a couple, not what other people say. FH picked out what he is wearing...it's his wedding too, and I have been trying to make sure he has all the say he wants about it. He did want me to see it and make sure I liked it, which I certainly did. He asked me what I thought about what the guys are wearing--again, I liked it, but it was his decision. If your FH knows about the rest of your wedding (how formal, what colors, etc.) then picking out his own clothes could be a really fun surprise. The only caution is that I get the impression from some brides on here that the only function their FH has in wedding planning is showing up and possibly donating cash...not that such is wrong necessarily, but in that case he wouldn't have any way of knowing what kind of clothes would fit well and would risk looking like an outsider at his own wedding.

My FH and his men picked their own tuxedos. Going along with the "you can't see the wedding dress" theme, I haven't seen the tuxedo but I have been given the ability to approve the shirts, the bowties, the socks, the pocket squares, and the cuff links. So I have a pretty good idea of everything so at least I know they will look right.

I let mine DH pick out his tux and the groomsmen's tuxes. I felt he could handle it, he's a grown man, and, he did a good job. Not what I would have picked out, but they looked really cute. He even surprised me with the black and white wingtip shoes, loved them.
