Default to bout or not to bout??

as i was researching bout ideas for the fiance and his groomsmen, my fiance noticed that all of the photos of bouts feature them on jackets. the fiance isn't wearing a jacket, so do we bout or no bout?

he's not too wild about the idea of a bout anyway, so should we scrap it and save the money? if we do this, should we provide any of the other men with bouts (i.e. dads, grandfathers)?

MY FI isn't wearing a jacket either and I've asked myself the same question. Since the bout came with my bouquet though and there was no price difference I do have one. I've told him it's completely up to him if he wants to wear it or not though.

FI doesn't want to wear one (and he is wearing a jacket) and I don't really like them, so no men will be wearing flowers at our wedding.

We had our guys put them on their shirts. I thought it was a nice pop of color since their outfits were cream. They were pink orchids.

We bouted the the wedding party (2) and the immediate family (6)...all (except one) wore shirts (no jacket) and the bouts looked really nice...my FI wanted a bout though, but if he had decided not to wear one, I think i still would have had them for family just as a nice way to say I'm thinking of you...

The guys are only wearing shirts for our wedding to but I made them some bouts out of a shell. When I asked him if he liked them, he did, so they will have them on. The free one that we get with our wedding package my Dad will probably wear.

Here are the ones I made:
