Women Wedding Suits - Do you think it would be "tacky" if I had the groomsmen at our wedding wear...?

Do you think it would be "tacky" if I had the groomsmen at our wedding wear...?

Do you think it would be "tacky" if I had the groomsmen at our wedding wear nice black dress pants and a dress shirt & tie that matched with what the ladies are wearing? The reason is because we live in Texas and are going to be getting married in Texas and then have a small reception (maybe like 50-75 people) But then within a weekend or 2 I was going to have a reception in Wisconsin (where my fiance' and I grew up and the majority of our friends and family live) I want the whole wedding party to wear what they wore for the wedding day. There are 2 groomsmen that would come down to Texas for the wedding and then be at the reception in Wisconsin too. My problem is that I don't want them to have to rent the tux for two weekends. So my thought was that they could all get the same dress shirt in the same color, same tie, and then black dress pants. The wedding is going to be pretty casual and smaller. Most men take off there suit/tux coat anyway cuz it gets hot. Please give me your input or suggestions. Thank you:)

Your wedding. Your rules. That is the way to play the wedding game. Congratulations and good luck!
This is not tacky at all. I got married in Vegas and did the same thing with our groomsmen. We purchased each of them a tie to wear for the day. They were also quite happy to not have to spend a lot of money, as most guys have a dress shirt and black dress pants. All the Best, Weddings by Dezign
The dress tie and shirt sound fine, if it's a smaller, more casual wedding, and in Texas it might be too hot for jackets anyway... I'm not sure about having the dress shirts the same colour as the bridal party's dresses though. I think it might end up looking like one of those 60s groups who all dressed up the same, like the Planters or the Supremes or something! I think that would make it a bit tacky then. I think maybe just white dress shirts (all the same brand/design of course) would look better, and it would match better with the groom (who I assume will be in a tux of some sort with a white shirt underneath). Also, I suggest you get them to get the same matching pants, or at least make sure they're all the same shade of black... Different shades of black next to each other looks really bad.
Not tacky at all. This way the men in the wedding have a reason to get some new dress cloths which we always could use. Plus it really does not make sense so have the guys rent a tux twice. I think great idea.
Let me just start off by saying, i love the idea that you are having two gatherings of family and friends, and congrats on your upcoming day! and no, its not tacky at all. i think its a great idea that you want to have them buy a nice dress shirt and slacks. (they can wear them again after both of your receptions as well!) it's cheaper in the long run, and i'm sure it will look wonderful either way! best wishes :)
Not tacky at all, especially for a warm-weather casual wedding. T-shirt and jeans, that might be tacky. Leather chaps with no pants underneath, definitely tacky.
it is not tacky at all, most men don't like to wear tuxedos anyways. There is no point on making them uncomfortable when it supposed to be a relax day to celebrate your marriage.
Matching groomsmen is not tacky. What is tacky is to have an after-the-fact gift grab bash days after your wedding, Trashy, trashy. Good luck
I think it sounds fine. ...I don't see how it'd be tacky at all. Sounds like a very smart idea! Congratulations!
It's your wedding and whatever your heart desires, follow it. Nobody else's opinion matters but even so I doubt anybody's gonna notice, all their eyes are gonna be on the two of you. No one's gonna notice that as being tacky or anything anyways.
Sound good t me, very reasonable!
