mybestfriend4eva

Okay ladies im kind of clueless in this department so im turning to you wonderful knotties. So my questions are, 1. When should you have all the guys outfitted by? 2. Buy or rent?? Which did you do and any ideas on price. Im trying to figure my budget and havent had a lot of experience here. I will also be asking my local board that question for an idea of whats average in our area. Thanks so much for any help you can give.

[QUOTE]I'd call the tux place you want to use and ask when you need to get your wedding in their system. We registered our wedding at Men's Warehouse about 5 months before the wedding just to get it done.   H sent his WP an e-mail telling them the info and that they needed to be fitted by the end of November for our December 11 wedding.    They all picked up their tuxes the day before the wedding. They guys covered the cost of their tux rental and it was about $160.

Ditto Duds. Also make sure if you are getting married in high wedding, or prom season that you get your tuxes reserved promptly. The Tux place can  guide you.

Mens Wearhouse is great if you have a lot of OOT WP.

Also, my DH owned a tux already, but if the men in your party arent the type to wear tuxes a lot, I wouldnt have them buy them.

We are having the wedding in the evening. Ceremony will be held outdoors under a gazebo followed by a ballroom reception. I am torn as to the tux vs. suit issue which is why I posted here to see what everyone else was doing. If you need any other info please let me know I havent posted questions like these before. Thanks for any help!!!

Yes if we go with tuxes they will be normal black tuxes with white shirts and then navy vests and ties as our colors are navy white and silver.
