super random question: those of you that have white linen button down shirts for groomsmen, are you planning on them wearing undershirts (t-shirt) or nothing underneath at all, I am the most clueless person when it comes to menswear I think. My fiancÃ© suggested the ribbed cotton undershirts but I know those will show and look horrible.

So I had our guys try both ways and truthfully with the linen I did not like the look of the tshirt/undershirt underneath it. Dress shirt absolutely but for some reason (maybe cause the linen is more casual ...im not sure....) the tshirt took away from the shirt at the neck line. I am going to look for tank tops perhaps and see if that may work if not -they are going without...

Thanks so much ChocoTaco! I had no choice...my heaviest part is my tummy LOL...wanted to take the attention away from it, and I needed the length bring on the shorter side hahahahaha

Thanks LKocelko! I think I will leave it as is as well

I am actually the opposite - I hate when guys have undershirts on. I hope my FI and his GM don't wear one but I am not going to dictate to them either way. I def. think guys look better without one.

I just finished mine. The raffia fans are from Oriental Trading Company and the brochures I made on Vistaprint.

I told my guys they could do whatever they felt most comfortable with but most of them asked my preference as well so I told them I preferred no short under....def doesn't work well with the linen....

You probably do because everything came quickly - at the most 1 1/2 weeks after I ordered them and then I just super glued the post card to the fan. Another easy option, I was in Party City (not sure if they have one in Canada - but really any party store probably has these) and I found program paper that you can buy and then you just print your own. Super easy and cheap!

However, I also don't think programs are necessary. I think we all get what is going on. Plus, people will have been all together for at least a day or maybe more and they will probably already know who is doing what.
