    Nothing.  This isn't your issue and not about you, so do nothing.

    It is wrong to tell people to pay for an outfit without getting their input, and it sounds like that's what happened.  If money is an issue, either he decides not to participate or, and this is what I recommend, pay the difference between the cost and what he can afford.

    There is no reason to order or pay for tuxes this far in advance.  None.  Rentals can be done just about anywhere up to two weeks before the wedding.  Relax.

    Ditto BB.  Did your FI ask the GM about the cost of the tux that they can afford?

    The solution for you is to do nothing.  But your FI should apolgize for not asking them (if he didn't) and then you two shoud pay for the difference (what they agree to pay and what remains) if you insist that they wear those tuxes.

    And there's no reason to order them now.

    Ask the guys what they CAN afford, then look around for another solution ... either a cheaper tux rental, or let them wear black suits that they already own.

    Well, I'm afraid I'm just going to echo what the others have told you.  Stay out of it.

    There were a couple of mistakes made here:

    #1:  Your FI apparently chose attire without first confirming the budgets of his guys.

    #2:  He's implying that they have to order far earlier than they actually need to.

    BUT:  he said he'd take care of it.  So let him.  Not your problem.

    Ditto to the other ladies. You do nothing, your FI needs to either A. pay the difference  or B. find a more affordable place to rent tuxes since he did not ask what his GM budgets were.

    Not your problem.  No reason to order them early and your FI needs to ask his guys how much they can afford.
