Parents attire

Are you having all the parents match the wedding colors, or each other? My Dad is wearing a tux. Should FFIL wear a tux too? I don't think he was even planning on dressing up but I don't want him to show up and feel underdressed. How did everyone else go about this? ETA- not FH. FFIL. Sorry! ...

How did everyone else go about this?

ETA- not FH. FFIL. Sorry!

    I was just talking to my mother about this yesterday. I'm going to leave it up to them. They can either wear the same suit as the groomsmen or match the mothers, but I'd like them to be on the same page

    @annakay- How am I going to get FFIL to wear a tux? I don't think he'll be willing to pay for his own, and he's not going to be in the wedding really so won't that look a little out of place? He's walking to his seat most likely with FH grandparents. That's it.

    I always don't think he'll want to be in many pictures. No one in FH family is into big to do's. They are all really simple.

    My mom is going to be wearing a dark blue dress, but my BP is wearing navy sequin dresses so they will definitely stand apart and not look matchy matchy. My dad is probably going to wear a black suit and blue tie, whereas FH and the GM are going to be wearing navy suits with a blue Hawaiian print tie. Not sure on FH's Dad though, he is going to see what he would like to do.

    My mom is wearing a navy blue dress and my dad a navy blue suit. No clue about FFIL, but I imagine he will wear a black suit. Last I heard from FMIL she was planning on wearing a full length gold sequined dress... whatever she wants, right?

    BMs are wearing sky blue and GM are wearing either charcoal gray or black suits.

    My parent in laws didn't show up to our wedding, so I can't say much there but my dad wore a tux (we let him decide what color and he hose black) and we also let my mom choose whatever she wanted to wear. I wanted my mom to feel beautiful.

    Nah. My only wedding color is white, and I don't think my dad can pull it off.

    My step mom wants my dad to wear a tux because she thinks he's handsome in one. Barf.

    I'm giving him the option...he can wear his suite or tux, totally up to him. We aren't having a formal ceremony, and FH as well as groomsmen are wearing suites.

    As far as my step mom and mother. My step mom will match most likely, and my mother will probably dress the way she wants unless I tell her otherwise, which I might do.

    My mom bought a silver dress, which does not match my colors. My dad is wearing either a suit or a tux. I do not have a preference. I have no idea what my FMIL is wearing.

    Hmmm... if FFIL won't rent a tux for his son's wedding (really?) just have him wear his nicest black suit.

    He doesn't own a suit. He's a really casual guy. Usually in a t- shirt and shorts. Maybe once FH mentions that everyone else will be in tuxes and suits he'll decide to rent a suit. Do you really think it's necessary for both Dads to be in tuxes? Is your FFIL doing anything besides walk to his seat and take a couple pictures?

    My mom picked something in our color scheme and looked very lovely. but I didn't care. Hubs mom wore a light gray/blue over nude lacy type thing- she looked also really lovely.

    whatever- it doesn't matter honestly.

    I'm sure the mom's will look great no matter what. More concerned about the Dad's.
