We were going to go with Partybooths, but wound up going with www.cheeseyphotobooth.com. I don't know where you are (we are in Orange County, California). They were a little bit more, but we liked the style of their booths a little better, and the owner and our photographer know each other, so he was kinda bending over backwards to get our business.
But my second runner up would be partybooths for sure!
I'm not sure what an etiquette book would say, but I was operating under the idea that the MOB/FMIL should wear a color that complements the wedding colors/bridesmaid dresses, but not actually wear the same color as the BM.
BUT, that is totally up to the bride, IMO. If you don't care if they wear the same color as the bridesmaids then that's up to you. For my wedding, the BM dresses are a dark purple (aubergine). My mom is going to wear a chocolate brown or a color called mink. She also looked at dresses that were lavender, sage, etc. I'm not sure what FMIL is looking at - she's in another state so I can't really shop with her! I basically said - look for fall colors/anything that would complement.
So, final thought, I'd say whatever you are comfortable with the MOB/FMIL wearing should be what you ask of them. If it's "Just wear something that's nice, comfortable and whatever color you want" then there you go!
We ordered Chucks for our groom's men and we ended up buying the guy's shoes a 1/2 size smaller than they usually wear. (For reference I usually wear a 7 1/2 shoe but wear a 5 in Chucks.) That's cool that they refunded you for the shoes though!
I ordered a pair of Nike Le Titia shoes of zappos.com to wear for the wedding. They're super comfy and shiny and actually pretty.
My experience is that Chuck Taylor's are almost always at least a 1/2 size smaller than what you normally wear. If you can, try a pair on at a local store to see which ones fit you best and then order that size online.
Also, I agree with you on the MOB dress situation. But I don't have any advice, sorry! Good luck there.
