Stepfather's attire
Nancy
My mother asked what her husband should be wearing to my wedding. I
really did not know what to tell her was appropriate. I just said
"whatever he is more comfortable with."
My mother married Bob when I was in college. I am not close to him at
all. I refer to him as my mother's husband instead of my stepfather.
Should he be wearing a suit or can he just wear slacks and a blazer. He
will not be part of the ceremony, however, he will be escorting my mother
into the reception.
Thanks,
Nancy (and Mark 8-29-98) who will be writing to the ng quite a bit for
the next few days!

would help to know the time and formality of the wedding, then we could be
more specific.
Hope this helps,
Noe

I forgot to include that it is a 10:30 am Church ceremony. It will be a
formal wedding.

People who are not in the wedding party dress in the same manner as
guests. If you expect male guests to wear suits, he should wear a suit.
If you expect male guests to wear slacks and blazers, he may wear that.
If you secretly expect male guests to show up in jeans and polo shirts,
but you're hoping "family" will dress better than that, tell your mom to
put him in slacks and a blazer.
