Baby tuxedos?

My nephew is going to be the ring bearer of sorts for our September 4th wedding.  He'll be just over a year old.  I went to Savvi tonight to pick out the tuxes, and they told me it would be $80 to purchase a tux for him!  I just don't think that's a wise investment.  Anyone have any cost-cutting tips?  I found his sister's flower girl dress at Target for $18, so I was hoping to be able to find a bargain.

    We rented ours from Savi and it wasn't that much.  Our RB was almost 3 though, so maybe it is different.

    One of the girls on my month board had a ton of child attendants and ordered all of their stuff off of ebay.  

    If you can't find anything else, this is a fairly common problem, so you can probably resell after the wedding on Trash to Treasure or Craigslist.

    My cousin just had her ring bearer where black pants, white shirt and a bowtie becuase they thought the price was outrageous too. The kid can where the shirt and pants again for other nice occasions so you're really only buying a bow tie. I feel like they dont really need a jacket when they're that little.

    My SIL saw little guy tuxes at Burlington Coat Factory at the Mills. I'm not sure how long ago that was, but somewhere to try. Also, Kohls or Macys probably have easter suits on clearance. You may be able to find a black one. It may not be perfectly coordinated but will still look adorable.

    Thanks!  I will explore all of these avenues!  You're probably right about him not necessarily needing a jacket.  I can find those components cheaper I'm sure.  I don't want to get it yet, as he's 9 months old and may grow some by then.
