Who is choosing the color of the vests your dads will be wearing for the wedding - you or them? Also, will they all be in the same color - or are you letting them each wear something a little different?
We're thinking of letting the dads each pick something in the black, gray, or navy blue family. (my bridesmaids are wearing navy with champagne accents, groomsmen will be in champagne vests)

I/We picked for them...they didn't think they even had to wear a tux until we told them!

We picked. The BM wore black and carried red flowers. The GM wore red vests and our fathers wore black vests. (Our dads have large tummys, so we thought black was best)

My dad picked what he liked. DHs dad got the same color tie as my dad but just cause he liked it, not cause I told him he had to.

We are letting our dad's pick. They most likely will be getting a color that goes with our mother's dresses.

Re: Are you choosing or are they?
I was planning on the dads wearing the same colored vests as the wedding party...are they supposed to be different?

tiggeruth...there's no rule (well, i'm sure someone could find a book that says there is...) exactly...but it is nice to keep it simple...i would suggest both dads have the same colors so that at the very least, it appears that the dads are matching each other...and the GM are matching each other, like the BMs are all matching.

CLMon7906- Thanks- my plan was all men related to the wearing a tux would match, there are too many things to worry about to have to pick seperate colors for the dads.

Re: Are you choosing or are they?
none of the above - they can wear whatever they want to wear, whatever color they want, etc. No guidelines, really. In fact, they wear just nice suits if they really want, but they probably won't. It really doesn't matter to me - a tux is a tux, and will look just fine with all the other tuxes. They will certainly have the option to coordinate with the groomsmen, but they don't have to. Since my dad already owns a tux, he'll probably just wear that, and FH's dad is free to do whatever he wants.
