| My wedding is coming up next year, while out to dinner my family my aunt said something to my grandfather about getting a tux, I asked is he supposed to. My aunt responded yes hes your grandfather. I asked about my brothers who will not be groomsmen, they are just as close a relationship. She responded of course. I said aside from the groom and groomsmen, the only man I thought who wears a tux is my father, thats it. I began to think her thinking was way off, my mother seemed to agree with my aunt. Well if my brothers and my gradfather who arent members of the wedding party arent wearing tuxes wghat about my fiances, family he has a stepfather that raised him and a father he is close to. The reponse was of course they should too. No way I thought, I cant recall being to a wedding where the grooms dad wore a tux, nice suit yea but tux no. This is not an ultra formal affair, it will be a nice wedding, but the there will be no top hats, no tails, no white gloves. What is appropriate?Ah Ricardo you see much more than I said, by the way this is granddads daughter (mom's sis) Funny thing though her wedding followed the way I think it should be, because none of the people existed in her situation, no living grandads, or grooms father, and her only bro was in the party. |

| First off, it should be how YOU want it. There are no set in stone rules!! I agree with you, the groom, groomsmen and your dad should be the only ones in tuxes... especially if you are having to pay for them. If you are having a very formal wedding then maybe, but that's on them if they want to rent one or not.. |

| This is your day, so whatever you want is what should happen. I agree with you, though. I don't think they need tuxes. When I married, the only people who wore tuxes were the groom, the groomsmen and the ushers. My dad didn't even wear a tux. He just wore a very nice suit, as did my father-in-law. Remember, it's your wedding, so do what makes you happy! |

| I think etiquette says that the guests should be dressed like the bridal party.That being said, our groomsmen are wearing tuxes, in addition to our Dads.The rest of the guests we hope will wear suits. I don't want to make everyone get tuxes if they don't have them. I don't want people in jeans, either, though.Good luck. |

| Oh my, sounds like your granddaddy has a bossy little daughter, or perhaps she is his sister. Well, well, well, sounds like auntie has been to a few formal affairs, and has that type of mindset for your wedding. Let granddaddy wear what he wishes. If he wears a tux, so let him wear a tux. But, I would tell your brothers to wear whatever they wish. If they choose a tux, okay, suits are fine too. Your auntie needs to remember that this is not her wedding, even though she thinks she is in charge. Just smile at her comments, and don't ask the old bat too many questions. |

| It's your call, but technically all parents and grandparents are part of the wedding party. They can have tuxes but they don't need to match the groomsmen. If you want a semi-formal wedding suits will be fine. Just be sure to give them special honor by giving them corsages and boutioneers and sitting them in the first couple rows at the ceremony. |

| Where I'm from, only the groom and the groomsmen wear tuxes. The fathers, and any other family, just wear nice suits. |
