I don't think there should be a problem - they are expected to rent a tux so as long as you can find suits for a similar price to a rental I think you are golden!
Yes, but I think you have to be receptive of what your FI wants. if he is fine with it... then go for it!
FI said he thought it was too much to make them get suits, although he does really like the look of it. So I think if I do my research and keep my eyes peeled for sales so that it would be similar in cost to the tux rental, I think he'll be more receptive to it.
I'd certainly ask them if they have their own grey suits. You'd be surprised just how popular a suit colour it is nowadays. But I don't think it's unreasonable. And they can always wear the suit again. I don't see the harm in asking the GM to wear a specific colour suit.
@Kitty I would love to do the same thing...let me know if you find any deals out there!!
Question, if you have the GMs wear grey suits, will your FI wear the same one? How will he be distinct?
We definitely want my FI to wear grey, and we were struggling with what to have the GMs wear!
@littlemissmoo - I thought about asking them but there are so many shades of gray and I'm specifically looking for that light gray and boys are dumb about that stuff. I can see them being like oh yeah I totally have a light gray suit and they show up and it's charcoal gray. I don't know them all amazingly well so I don't want to be like IF YOU HAVE A GRAY SUIT TAKE A PICTURE AND EMAIL IT TO ME SO I CAN SEE WHAT COLOR GRAY IT IS b/c they will be like WTF this girl is psycho. LOL.
@mizrunzou - FI will be wearing a classic black tuxedo with black bowtie. He wants to wear a tux and I want him to really stand out. He'll be wearing the same boutonniere as the GMs but a classic tuxedo.
Ah, that's a troubling one then missus! Personally I would have no problem saying "hey, you mind emailing me a picture of your suit?" cause if I don't know them by now and they're in the bridal party chances are I won't see them much after the wedding! What FH and I did was I gave FH very specific questions to ask his BM - but we're only having 1 attendant each so it was much easier for us. FH's BM just went "oh yeah, I need to get a new suit. Mind if I get a dark colour?".
Hmm..... they must have an old photo of them in a suit somewhere on Facebook or something :) Get your sleuthing skills out girl! Good luck ;)
I thought you could also rent suits from some tux places? Maybe that is an option.
My fiance and I have agreed that the men in the wedding party will be in grey. (The women have been instructed to find their own purple dresses, so they'll be mismatched.) To save my own sanity, I have left the specifics of the men's attire up to my fiance. He's metro enough that I know his dudes won't show up in grey sweatsuits. But I need something about this wedding that's 100% not my responsibility. I think he's probably going to end up going with suits, but coordinating the purchase/rental of clothing is on his to-do list.
@ Kitty - That sounds very nice! I like the idea of him in a classic black to stand out.
FI wants grey, and wants to stand out...so we thought about having the GMs in all black with Grey tie and same bouts...but then we also are considering everyone in grey.
@redherring - I'm loving your color choices :) My BMs are wearing purple/pewter dresses!
@mizrunzou - We're having our guys wear suits, but FI will be the only one wearing a three piece, which should make him stand out. We've also considered different colored ties!
@Ottawa --- now, that's an idea! Question, are they the exact same suit minus the vest? Where are you getting them?
@mizrunzou - Ummm well, we haven't picked anything out yet since we're so far out! But they will likely not be the same suits, just all the same color (black). We'll probably get them at Moore's since they have a lot of buy one get one free sales, but I think that's a Canadian store so that's not much help :(

Here's a question: Is it too much to ask the GMs to wear gray suits? I mean, when you think about it, a suit is something they can always wear, whereas a BM dress (for the most part anyway) you will only wear once and it is something girls are just expected to get. When I've brought up the gray suit idea, I've been met with some resistance, but it seems like kind of a double standard to me.
Thoughts?
