So, what's the general consensus on ties (bow tie vs regular)? FI would like to wear a bow tie, but we both think it makes him look like a waiter. ![Rolleyes2 :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

It's going to be outdoor at a yacht club with the reception inside. We have a very small BP! Just the best man, matron of honor and my girls as flower girl/jr. bridesmaids (they'll walk with me, then sit down for the bulk of the ceremony).
Is it bad that I have no idea if it's a formal tux or not?All I know is that it's black, with an ivory shirt, ivory vest and they're getting ivory pocket squares. The BM is going to wear the same, but with a black vest.

Take a look at the link I posted. It almost sounds like they're wearing white tie. If that is the case, the appropriate (traditionly with the white tie tux) would be a white bow tie.
