I wanted my grandfather to wear a tux but he declined. You should ask him and see what he would like.
My daughter's wedding was in June at a Sheraton,with the ceremony outside followed by cocktail hour and plated dinner reception in the Ballroom. Groom & Groomsmen & Fathers were in tuxes,but the Grandfathers work black suits. My Dad wore the suit with a white shirt and grey & black striped tie. He looked great!
I personally don't think tuxes are necessary unless its a black tie event...and even then,many men just wear dark suits.
I think they might just wear a dress button up shirt-maybe with a suit jacket-probably just a suit. Not really sure.
Oh heavens. I forgot to worry about that. I didn't realize it, but my grandfather hasn't been to any other grandchild's wedding, but he'll be at mine. Not too sure that he knows he is part of the processional. It took some convincing to tell him he couldn't wear shorts. I was wondering why...
haha the last time my grandfather wore a tie, he said the next time I see him in a tie he will be in a box. The groomsmen and maybe the dads (their decision) will be in tuxes but I'm not sure he would want to wear one. I have not asked him but I assume he will wear the same suit and salmon colored shirt he wore the last time circa 2004 he got dressed up. I bought him a navy tie to match the dads and groomsmen and who knows maybe he'll want a tux. I guess it's different for everyone but I know my grandfather well enough to know that he won't care what ettiquite dictates and that's fine with me, it is way to late to change his personality. On a daily basis, he wears a button down (mostly of the plaid variety) shirt with 2 breast pockets, jeans, suspenders and loafers. In the winter he wears flannel shirts and he always wears a white t-shirt underneath. He's not really one for fashion.
I say let Grandpa decide. I think it depends on their personality - mine would wear a tux if he knew there was even a remote chance he'd be able to impress the ladies.

What did/what will your Grandfather (or FI's Grandfather) wear for your wedding? Both Dad's will be wearing tuxes (as will the groomsmen and ushers) and we're having a nice (cocktail attire wedding).
Should my Grandfather match the Dads or the wedding guests? I'm leaning towards having my Grandfather wear a tux too, but just wanted to see what etiquette dictates.
Thanks!
