In a wedding is the grooms father supposed to wear a tux?

If the wedding is a formal affair, then yes\nboth fathers should wear a tux.\n\nIf you as the groom are not dressed in a tux,\nthen the wedding party should be nicely dressed\nbut a sport coat, matching slacks and dress shoes\nis okay.\n\nMost grooms choose a tux over regular dress clothes\ndue to the fact that they don't have to wash em after\nthe ceremony and the tux place does all the alterations\nfor you as part of the rental fee.

Very formal: tuxedo for the man and a long dress for the lady.

Formal is like a tuxedo and informal is jeans and t-shirt.

Everyone in a wedding is responsible for their own attire.  It would be nice if you didn't expect the groomsmen to spend $200+.  Since the kilts are $50 more than the tux maybe you could pay the difference if you really want the groomsmen to wear them.  Has anyone talked to the guys, are they willing to wear kilts?  $100 for a bridesmaid dress is really reasonable.  I got married 12+ years ago and the dresses cost $135.  If you do contribute to the cost of the wedding party clothes, I would make the thank you gifts inexpensive.  Good Luck.

A Black Tie wedding means that EVERY male should be in tuxedo....NOT just the wedding party (who would be in tuxedo regardless at every wedding I've been to).  If you don't wear black tie you probably will stand out.  At the same time...if you don't have, or can't afford a tuxedo, I'd go anyway if the person was important to me...and just deal with the looks.  Explain to the married person why you aren't in black tie privately.  One other quick point.....buying a cheap tuxedo is often about the same price as renting.....and a tuxedo pretty much looks like a tux regardless of price.  I'd buy one instead of renting, it'll save you money long term.

Usually they pay for the little boys tux and that's about it!!!!  I got lucky my ring bearer and flower girl are brother and sister and their parents threw me and my fiance a beautiful engagment party.  But as far as I know there is no set rules for the parents of the ring bearer, expect to purchase whatever outfit you want him in and to have him a the ceremony on time.

Absolutely. You should have a strong bond with the person standing next to you...Why not your son? My best girlfriend was her brothers best man. Simply because of the bond they shared. She wore a matching dress to the grooms men's tuxes.

What does this have to do with weddings?

By "proper," I'm guessing you mean traditional.  Traditionally, the father walks the bride down the aisle, but if that is not an option for you, choose someone who has supported you throughout your life.  Someone that you would want to essentially represent you.  Traditionally, the bride and groom have several people in the bridal party.  You only need your best friend, or for that matter, just you and hubby to be.  Lets be honest, most of the time, the bridal party consists of cousins and siblings from both sides, and that tends to be the case because of obligation.  ALL the "necessary" dual dances...really, the only one that truly matters, is the one between you and that new husband of yours.  \nOn the flip side of this, try looking at from a different perspective:  without the immediate family members present, you can easily forego things you would comply with simply out of obligation.  My best advice: any wedding that is individual, well planned, and encompasses the two of you together should be considered proper.\nGood Luck

A Tux has that bandana  bit around the waist and you where a bow tie.  SUIt is usually worn just with a tie.

Wear something sedately glamourous...think pale coloured ballroom or cocktail dress for a Duchess, you want dignity, here, not "Hubba-Hubba"\nWhat your spouse wears is her choice, though she should not actively clash with you in colour or style.\nIf she likes the tux idea, perhaps her accessories (tie, kerchief and cummerbund or suspenders) could be in the same colour as your gown.\nGood luck and many happy returns of the day!

You can never go wrong with a black tux.  I am not into cumberbuns and bow ties though.  I love the real tie look with a vest.  Try getting a matching vest and tie in the dress color, otherwise you can get cream colored ones.  All black with a white shirt would look too waiter-ish to me.

I would ask him to ask his mother what the dress is for the restaurant you're going to.  Not the father, as women in general seem to be better at dress codes.  \n\nOr, if you're not comfortable with this, get the name of the restaurant, then call them and ask what their typical dress is like.

For a wedding reception, it is usually dressy. So a black dress would be fine, as long as it is modest and not a mini kind of thing with a lot of flesh showing up top.
