Wedding this weekend is formal attire so planned to wear a tux (already packed) and now find out groomsmen are only in suits and one of my friends is just rocking a blazer. Well time to be the sole penguin.

Having just gone through my own wedding planning, it is odd the groomsmen are in suits but for guests…

Formal= Dark Suit
Black Tie= Tux
Formal Black Tie Optional= Your pick

I’ve seen Formal = Black Tie optional va being separate but guess in this case it’s more to your point.

Bring a suit instead. Formal attire at a wedding does not mean black tie

I think formal used to mean black tie, but it seems most men don’t have tuxes that fit, so they wore dark suits, and now dark suits became normal for formal.
