Is this too dressy for a formal evening wedding?

Lately I’ve noticed that dress codes aim high but the crowd doesn’t always fit the dress code stated, especially in younger groups.

I was raised in a family that follows dress codes pretty specifically, and usually the only difference between formal and black tie or BTO is for the men being able to wear suits instead of full tuxes.

I feel like this dress is formal so I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to be over dressed if this is one of those situations.

If the invite was BTO or black tie I wouldn’t second guess myself but formal ends up being so confusing at times.

I just found out the groomsmen are wearing suits instead of tuxedos so it’s giving me more pause.

I’ve only met the bride once, so I can’t really ask.

We’re working on final alterations for my fiancé’s tux, how does it look so far?

He broke his arm on the growth plate so one arm is slightly shorter, but they made a mistake and took off too much on one sleeve, so they’re fixing that this week.

Besides that, is there anything else we should adjust?

How to handle seating babies and children at the head table?

I want to be fair and handle this the best I can, I’m not really a kid person.

Our wedding is black tie and very adult oriented. There’s no play areas, the grounds are surrounded by water so kids can’t be left unsupervised outside. Our rentals have a strict stain policy so no crayons, etc.

I’m struggling.

Our wedding party will have a total of 4 kids. 2 babies in arms and 2 toddlers.

We don’t necessarily have a head table, but we are sitting at a 30 person table and we were going to have our wedding party and their partners with us too. My SO definitely wants to sit with his groomsmen, but that means the kids too since 3 out of 9 of the groomsmen have kids.

I’m just not sure what to do because I’ve never really envisioned having kids at our head table. Non of my bridesmaids are bringing their kids.

We will have other non wedding party guests sitting at that table too, so I typically would have kept all the kids/parents at one section so child free guests don’t have to be near a 3 year old for a 5 course meal.

That would mean removing 3 groomsmen and their partners to other tables though. Best man included.

Besides the wedding party kids there will be 4 other kids under the age of 5, but I’ve put them all at another table with their families.

Am I thinking too much into this? Should I just sandwich the kids between their parents and call it a day?
