silly question

CassandraPotter

did your FI set up the tux/suit appointment? Did he pick the tuxes/suits? Did you see his tux/suit before the wedding? Or did you set everything up/pick out what you wanted/ picked out FIs suit/tux? this applies for not only his suit/tux but for the GM. Thanks

I set up the appointment. I went with H and my brother (a GM) when they picked them out but they picked everything out.

I am under the impression that most brides pick the men's attire, but my husband wanted to do this.  He went with one of the GM  (made his own appointment), it was a little last-minute by my standards but he got it done.  He then called the other guys and let them know how to get their fittings done (plus the dads, who were wearing a slight variation on the GM tuxes).

At first I thought he wanted to keep it a surprise, but I ended up going with him when he picked his tux up (since he was also getting a new suit and wanted my opinion), so I got to see what he had picked and I loved it.

If you wanted the guys to coordinate with you or the bridal party, then you'd probably need to take care of that yourself.

Also, not a silly question at all!

N and I are going together.  First, he trusts my style and that I will tell him (honestly) what looks best on him.  Second, he knows that I won't decide for him, so he feels comfortable enough to bring me along for opinions.  I'm not one of those girls who will dictate what a grown man wears, against his will. I think we're both looking forward to it!

FWIW, he also has seen the pictures of me in my dress already.

My H picked his own. I trusted his opinion...after all, he likes to match his sneakers with his clothes, so I didn't worry..lol

I picked out John's outfit. I bought his tie, dress shirt, and went with him to get a sport coat. And yes, he was grumbly because he didn't see my dress beforehand (I couldn't have shown it to him if I wanted to; it was at my parents' house).
The last suit  and tie he bought was 10 years ago and it didn't fit anymore.

I picked out the BM and GM's attire and told my H to surprise me. I loved not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised

H already had a suit (didn't wear a tux) so all he needed was the vest and tie. We just stopped in a Men's Warehouse one night while we were out and looked over their selection and happened to find the perfect vest. And, it was on clearance after being on sale, so we got his vest and tie for only like $10 or $15.

I bought his shoes, though he told me what he wanted first and I just found as close to that as possible.

I just called the tux place, set up a time to go pick what I wanted for tuxes and the guys all took care of the rest.

I saw Ben in his tux before the wedding, for pictures.

H and I went together. After trying on some styles he picked his favorite and it was my favorite too so we went with that one. He and I had already agreed on what colors we wanted for the vests, so that part was easy. I wouldn't have cared if he had wanted to go on his own, but honestly, I don't think he would have been comfortable not having me there.

FI and I went together.  He ultimately picked the final tux and what the groomsmen would wear but he asked for my opinion on it all which I think steered him in the direction he went (not my intention).  You should let your FI pick out what he wants to wear, just aid him if he has no idea--the case with my FI.

I'm not going to lie, I find it extremely comforting that I don't have to worry about any of this since FI just has to worry that his Class A's are in proper order.  Don't get me wrong, that's a royal PITA, too, but at least its one less thing we have to rent or buy.

We together chose black suits for the guy's attire.  Then I happened to be with him the day we stopped by to purchase his. 

If your guy wants to take charge, then let him.  But if he's not into it there's nothing wrong with making the appointment or whatnot.

H picked out his outit and the GMs. 

I went with him and set up the appointment to ensure that it happened before the week of the wedding.

I made the appt and will go with FI. Honestly, he hates shopping and I buy all his regular clothes for him (and at least 3x per week he asks my opinion on what he is going to wear to work or if something matches). So, if I didn't work out all the logistics and provide an opinion, they would all show up in jeans and sneakers.

I'm very glad to let him take control of this area...  we've talked about what shade of gray we want, but other than that, buying the suits will be his responsibility- I'll just help him pick out the ties to make sure they match the dresses!

yay. this helps a lot.
