PLEASE HELP!!!!! Opinions needed

We already went to pick up tuxes but i'm a little concerned and wanted some opinions. I'm really not too thrilled with going with mens warehouse but its soooo much easier since the GM are in FL and they can go there.

First, what's people's opinions on vests vs cumberbund. I happen to like the vest more but FH is kinda set on doing cumberbund.

Also, FH, FFIL and FH's BIL already have their tuxes (and they are almost identical), it just leaves 4 other's to rent. Fh's shirt is a plain white shirt. However Men's wearhouse only has pleated shirts for the tuxes.

Would it look wierd is 4 (including BM) have one type of shirt and 3 have another? I attached a picture from the website, its not great but just to give an idea.

Lastly if I convinced FH to do a different color vest would that look wierd? I'd really like the color of the BP and he'd probably be the only one wearing it.

ETA: I'm not sure if Iwe should just look elsewhere since I've heard both positive and negative things about MW. I think i'm going to talk to FMIL tonight.

As far as vest v. cumberbund...I personally REALLY dislike cumberbund and would always vote vest.

Not sure about the shirt thing, we haven't looked at tuxes yet.

As far as the vests - I think it is pretty common for groom to wear his own color. I've seen a lot of grooms in white and BP in black or in the BP color.

I hate a cumberbund b/c it reminds me of an 80's prom. I think the shirt you have there is more of a pleat than a ruffle and I think it will look fine. As for the color, I think it would look best if the GROOMSMEN wore the color and FH wore just plain black/white.

Thats what I wanted but I think to get the GM to wear it will be a PITA since some have their own tuxes and will have to rent just the vest.. I think they'll completely biatch and I honestly don't want to deal with that.

We are supposed to go to FIL's tonight so I'm going to try and talk to his mom and get her opinion as well. If she says vest, then i'm going to get her help to convince Jeff.

I think we decided to start looking at other places for tuxes. I want to see what everyone else carries. I'd really rather have just 1 kind of shirt and not 3 vs 4.

i would lean towards a vest not everyone looks good in a cumberbund and they arent really popular the shirt is nice and the color options i think can work either way

I edited the question. My concern is that it might look wierd if people have different shirts.
