Is it ok to wear a tuxedo to an evening wedding?

Back in the old country, I was always under the impression that it is improper for the hosts to outdress the guests. If the hosts specify black tie, and then show up in white tie themselves it is poor form. Same thing with the tuxedo/suit debacle - the wedding party should dress a "level up" to distinguish themselves, as that is rather garish. Then again, we also don't have matching ties and pocketsquares for the groom and groomsmen.

Traditionally, the couple getting married did not host their own wedding. The bride's parents typically did this. The wedding couple would be considered the guests of honor.

You make perfect sense, hyt123, so I checked it out and it's "regular shirt and tie", thank heavens.
So now the fun starts; picking tie and PS. I will go for whit shirt.
Cheers!
