Speaking of tuxes. . . .

Does the Father of the Bride wear the same tuxes as the Groomsmen?

Re: Speaking of tuxes. . . .

The guy told me that they usually wear black or a different color than Groomsmem. Our dads are wearing platinum.

Re: Speaking of tuxes. . . .

Liz, they do not have to, but to make life easier we just let all of the men wear the same thing. You can let the dads wear a different color vest or tie.

Liz be forewarned, tell Len and his men to give themselves enough time to pick up their tux in case of error. All of the men in our BP got the wrong tux, except Roger, it was a good thing we picked them up on Wednesday b/c they needed at least 24hrs to get the correct items from a wharehouse in NJ

When all the men pick up thier tux tell them to try them on in the store, to ensure that they all got the correct size and the correct style. Just a word of caution.

Thanks Shamma (and everyone else), I will remember that. I think I will go w/the same tux, maybe diffeent tie. Should we start tux shopping now? 5 months to go

Re: Speaking of tuxes. . . .

My groomsmen wore vests and the dads wore cumberbunds. I dont think there are any set rules but I thought it would look nicer to have the dads in the more traditional garb.

Liz Roger went a month before. Girl all they have to do is to be measured. They have it so easy. If you have any out of state men, you can have them send their measurements to Len.

Roger and I went on a Saturday and he picked it out immediately. Everyone does not have to go. Once you go with Len, then all his men will have to do is go to the shop and tell them he is with Len's party and they will get sized. Depending on where you go they will have to leave a deposit

Re: Speaking of tuxes. . . .

Liz, wait until the date draws closer, they are going to get even weirder. Wait until I see you remind me to tell you the one I have about the men's tux and my hair It was just too much
