What is father of the GROOM meant to wear?

Loads of weddings i've been too, both dads have been in the same outifit as groom, best man etc. At our wedding the groom and best man are both wearing cravat waistcoat and tails. Our Dads and ushers are wearing normal suits and all having the same tie.

Unfortunately my OH dad has passed but if he were here he would be wearing the same kilt etc as the rest of the wedding party

too me the father of the groom is more important than ushers

My OH's step-dad is wearing the same suit as my dad, the usher and best-man. My OH is wearing the same suit but a different coloured tie.

Hiya

The father of the groom does usually wear the same suits as the groom etc, as the groom's parents are also part of the bridal party ?

All men attending the ceremony and breakfast will be wearing evening suits (i.e black tuxedo bow tie etc)

I know the FOG doesn't have an official role in the day so you may not see it that he is part of the wedding party but I do not see why he should not be in a suit the same as the FOB. I think you would be isolating him (can't think what other word to use) by not including him in the wedding party attire.

Thanks, that makes sense - hadn't really thought about him feeling "left out"!!

Oh and welcome to hitched! ?

My OH Dad will be wearing his own suit. Only people in matching suits are groom, ushers and page boys (we're not having a best man).

OH's dad will be in the same outfits as all the men.

Both dads, my OH and his best man will be in the same suits and my step dad will be wearing his kilt, luckily it matches our colours, otherwise he would have a suit the same too. Our ushers will be wearing whatever suits they have.

OHs dad is wearing the same suit as the rest of the bridal party. I think it's nice for them to, as Soulmates said he might feel left out if not.

The same as the father of the bride, unless you think that one dad is more important than the other?

My FFIL is wearing the same suit as the ushers ect

My father in law will be wearing the same suit as OH. x

All weddings I've been to the FOG always wears the same suit as the rest of the men in the bridal party and this is what we'll be doing too.

Same here my Dad will be wearing the same suit, waistcoat and cravat as the BM. OH and my son will be in long jackets.

Thanks everyone. We've agreed same suits and having the father's wearing a different tie / waiscoat to the bestmen etc so it's not too much orange overload! It's definitely not about one father being more important than the other at all, we actually weren't planning on either of them wearing the same as the bridal party but we got a "hire four suits get one free deal" so decided to give that one to my dad as he'll be walking me down the aisle (obviously), and thought it would look good with him matching. His dad is doing a reading at the ceremony, as we want both sides to play a role in the big day.
