My fiance and I have very particular taste and have been looking for a pink and grey tie pattern for him and his groomsmen for a while now. All the patterns that we have found have been too pink or too dark of a grey, until now...
We finally found the perfect pattern in Express, however, now we are in the dilema of asking the groomsmen to purchase them this early. The ties are really expensive ($49) but may not come around again in the next year before the wedding. However, I dont know if I can ask them to buy these, knowing that they will be renting suits down the road. I have also heard that it is cheap to 'buy' a gift for your wedding party that you are forcing them to wear on the wedding day. I also dont want to buy them and change my mind in a year!
Should we just forget about it and see what colors we can rent with the suits or go for it because I will regret it if I dont?
What is the budget typically for a groomsman to spend?
