What would the father of the groom's husband wear?

Lauren, on April 13, 2021 at 10:09 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

Hi! My fiance's parents are divorced and have both remarried. His dad and step-dad have been fitted for suits to match the groomsmen, but we are at a loss for what to do with his dad's husband... does he also match the grooms and father(s) of the groom? Does he wear his own suit? We are presuming that they will walk down the aisle together but not sure of the suit etiquette here.

They are not close but he has asked to be included in our Men's Wearhouse group... any suggestions on what to do?

    Could he wear the same suit with a different color tie?

    That's a great idea! We could alternate the tie color so he's technically not matching.

    So he's in the wedding party, standing at the altar? Then I would say wear something complementary.

    His your fiancé’s dad a part of the wedding party? If he is, but his husband is not, I would have his husband wear whatever suit he would like. He could pick something that is cohesive with what his husband is wearing without having to match exactly.

    Hello Lauren .

    Assuming that the dad's hubby is not in the WP:
    He can wear whatever he wants, there are no hard and fast rules on this . Both dads and thr step-dad don't have to match or complement the groomsmen even though it's nice if they want. But ... This is not a requirement.
    In your situation: I would ask him if he wants to match the Groomsmen, to complement them'or if he wanna wear a suit of his choosing.

    If YOU WANT him to match the dads and groomsmen,' that's okay but you should ask him for his opinion. He might want to wear something else, you never know.
