The Wedding Guys

I have been told by several folks that I should have better guidelines for the guys in the wedding party as to what to wear.

Apparently having all the men in our wedding party NOT wear tuxedos created some kind of minor fashion crisis. Guys would rather just be told when to show up and have their tux hanging in a bag on a door (which is what I'll be doing).

Even my Dad, who wore a suit every weekday for 40 years is having a bit of difficulty finding just the right tie.

This is what I'd like to see you guys wear: Basically any dark suit: black, navy, charcoal gray, or green will be fine. Faint pinstripes are okay.

No camel hair sport coats (sorry Dad).

This is the only serious rule: Any fall color tie EXCEPT gold (or yellow). A harvest gold tie is what I'm wearing. But that's a secret for some reason.

These are good tie colors:

Hunter green
Sage
Olive
Violet
Purple
Burgundy
Crimson
Mulberry
Brick
Burnt Sienna
Tarracotta
Rosewood
Indian Red
Copper
Spice
Taupe
Mocha
Pinecone
Storm Mist

Okay, I'm not sure what color "storm mist " is. I got most of these out of the J.Crew catalog.

OSU ties are permitted (scarlet and gray), but logos must be hidden unless you have express written permission from the NCAA and Buckeyes Football!

Your shirts can be white or any color to coordinate with your tie.

Is anyone nervous?
