Help! How do i dress the groomsmen and dads

These are the 2 suit colors my FH is leaning towards, and him wearing the lighter of the two and his groomsmen in the darker one

I like the grey shades! I think they complement each other very well.

For the dads/grandfathers we opted to let them wear anything they want to. Any color tux or suit they’re comfortable with wearing is perfectly fine by me, and same for the moms. I wouldn’t be comfortable having someone dictate my wardrobe for me if I wasn’t directly in the wedding party, so I didn’t want to reciprocate it to our dads/grandfathers.

I agree with PP.. Love the grays. I’m personally not a fan of vests but if your FH likes them then go for it. And I think parents should wear what they want. If they ask and want to coordinate with the bridal party then you could help them find something to coordinate with your colors but otherwise I wouldn’t tell them what to wear.

View Quoted Comment Thanks so much for your guys’ input, it’s helped!! I wasn’t sure what to do, but letting parents wear what they want totally makes sense!

I would leave it up to your fiance if he wants to wear a vest or not. I think it would look okay either way. The vest would give it more of a formal look though. As for the fathers, I would let them decide. For our wedding, the groomsmen, my husband, our ring bearer, usher, and bride's man wore black tuxes. My dad doesn't really own formal attire so he let me pick what he wore. I had wanted him in a black tux to match everyone else, but my husband didn't want either father in black because they weren't technically in the bridal party so my dad worn a gray tux instead. My father-in-law had a suit already so that's what he wore. My husband failed to check with him on the color of it because it turned out to be black. I was furious that his father wore black when my husband was very adamant that my dad couldn't when I had always envisioned my dad wearing a black tux.

Dad can wear gray and matching ties to the MOB and MOG

My dad if going to wear a yellow tie bc it’s my favorite color then change it to match whatever color my mom is wearing lol

I don't think a vest is necessary but if your FH likes the way it looks then I'd say go for it. My FH will be wearing a navy suit, bow tie, and suspenders underneath and then groomsmen will be in the navy pants, navy suspenders, white dress shirt, and burgundy bow ties to match the bridesmaids. I'm thinking my MOH will be in a separate complimenting color so the BM will also have a different bow tie to match her. As for the dads, mine will be wearing a navy suit as well but he will have a more neutral color tie or bow tie if I have him wear one. I fiigured he's walking me down the aisle so wanted him to match. Then FFIL will wear his navy pants and dress shirt that he already has. The in laws wanted to somewhat match so it worked out for us.

I would have YOUR dad- who’s walking you down the aisle?- in the same shade as the groomsmen, and his dad in the same as his son. That is just my opinion tho.
Wearing vests could be for the dads and or groom.....

I love the shades of gray, I don’t love vests. I think your dad and his dad should wear the same color as the groom with maybe a different color tie. The groomsmen could wear a bow tie the same color as the grooms tie

I think vests would be cute! i let the dads wear whatever they wanted
