No wedding party what should men in family wear

Morgan, on July 16, 2020 at 8:08 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
We are not having a wedding party because we wanted to include family as much as possible and want our guests to sit and enjoy themselves. The sisters will be wearing color coordinated dresses.


If my fiancé will be wearing a light grey suit what color should the brothers and dads wear? We want our brothers and sisters to be coordinated somewhat so it looks good in pictures.
Has anyone ever done this before - no wedding party but included lots of siblings! Help! Thank you Smiley smile

    I don't understand why you wouldn't just have your siblings as your bridal party. It is generally considered rude to dictate what your guests wear to your wedding.

    I think they should wear whatever type of attire that fits your wedding venue. For example, if your venue is more semi formal or cocktail attire, that is what they should wear.


    As far as specific colors go or specific suits, I don’t think the clothes make or break the photos. I think it has a lot to do with your photographer and the mood that your guests will be in. I’ve actually never heard of couples selecting clothes for their guests, but I guess as long as your guests like the idea and don’t feel like props for your photos then I’d say why not just have them wear the same thing as the groom that way everything will match perfectly.

    We are only having a MOH & BM for our bridal party.


    I have two brothers who aren’t included in bridal party but my sister is. My FH will be wearing a light grey tux we a Tiffany Blue tie and his BM the same.
    Our dads will be in a darker grey or black (which ever they prefer) with a paisley print Tiffany Blue tie to coordinate. My brothers will be in black with Tiffany Blue ties.

    Guests can wear whatever they wish. You can't dictate or suggest what they wear if they are not attendants.

    Might as well just have the siblings be your wedding party since they are going to wear color coordinated outfits.

    Maybe ask them to wear ties in the same shade to coordinate? That way they can otherwise wear clothes that they already own but still be somewhat cohesive. Since they're not in the wedding party, there's no need for them to spend money to match each other/everyone.

    You can’t really dictate what they wear unless they are bridal party. I say either let them wear whatever they want, or put them in the bridal party. Honestly I think family photos look better when everyone isn’t all matchy matchy too

    Lol I understand what you are going for because we are doing the same thing. We are doing a morning wedding and we wanted to keep it simple (no wedding party). My fiancé is also wearing a light grey suit and our dads/brothers are all wearing a dark grey suit. They are all wearing the same tie. All the other people on here don’t seem to get it - just do whatever you want 👍🏻

    They don't need to match the groom. If you can get them to all wear the same color suit, that would help with cohesion. You can also give them all matching ties and/or boutonieres.
