ring bearer outfit for traditional wedding

[janinegirly]

we''re having the full traditional wedding and my FI''s sister''s son will be our ringbearer (9yrs old). FI''s sister is also one of my BM''s. She asked if I''d like him to wear a tux or a nice suit. I mentioned this to FI who said let them wear whatever since she''s already spending alot of money being a BM. So I told her it was up to her and I''m sure both would look great! (just as some background, FI''s family in general has not participated much in the wedding process at all, and my parents and I are paying for the majority of the wedding if not all).
Well since then, FI has mentioned that the ring bearer will be wearing a dark blue suit. For some reason I thought."ohhhh"..because every other guy in the bridal party will be in a black tux, and bm''s in wine..and then a blue suit? It''s bad enough that his mom is wearing ivory (for those of you who saw my thread on that from before!

).
Am I being too bridezilla on this and will it not matter that a little boy is wearing a suit? Or should I foot the bill and ask that he wear a tux? I''m knee deep in planning so starting to lose my judgement..
I''ve cut corners in the past (to save aggravation and $) and have regretted it (with calligraphy for example)..so trying to do the right thing.

Blue is fine.
Alternative: Black pants and a white shirt with a little bow tie?
Blue is fine, really - he''s part of the ceremony for what? 18 seconds? Then he''ll sit with his Dad.

It''s fine, but if you want him in a tux, check with your rental place. Mine offered the RB tux at half price for my 6 year old nephew.

ok thanks girls. i let him stay in the blue suit. you''re right it''s 18 seconds. i was more thinking of the pics, but i''m being too picky i think..

Janine, this is one of those things I''d probably be a bit annoyed about. I really like things to match. I wouldn''t require him to wear a tux but I do think a black suit is reasonable. Does he already have the blue suit? If they already have it and can''t afford to buy a black suit, I''d let it go. If they don''t have the blue yet or can even buy blk pants and nice shirt, I might ask to do that.

But all in all, your attitude of it not being that big of a deal is probably the best. I am finding it better to let more things go than not to keep the stress level down!
