Children in black tie

When an invitation says 'black tie' how should one dress a child? Is an ordinary suit appropriate, or should he wear some sort of waistcoat/bow tie combination?

I think you can get away with most anything.

When [livejournal.com profile] zorinth was a small child, he responded to being told "We're dressing up for this wedding" with "I want to dress up asa a Musketeer!" And did, and it went down very well indeed.

:)

"I need a new suit for [livejournal.com profile] antimnomy and [livejournal.com profile] p_a_r_a's wedding because they've seen my other one"

We compromised on a new tie, but I might give in anyway.

Bowties are good, especially the ones one ties oneself.
