We've decided that we want to use suits for the wedding party instead of tuxes. I prefer the look of suits, and I though it would be more practical for the guys to walk away with something they can keep and use again rather than return it to the store.
Last night, FI and I went and found him a suit at Men's Wearhouse. Not cheap, by any means, but it's the one we liked the most and it's a pretty all-purpose suit. The problem is that I don't think any of the GM will be able to afford to buy a suit. One was even unsure about spending $75-100 for a tux rental (kill me now). FMIL and I even looked at mall department stores and the suits there weren't much cheaper.
Does anyone know where they can rent a suit/buy one for less than $150? They don't have to match FI's, just be the same color. We are going to call MH tomorrow to see if they rent suits out.
FMIL also had the idea of having them wear the same dress slacks, shirt, and vest, but I'm not crazy about that. I want them to be wearing some kind of jacket, the wedding is not that informal. I will take any suggestions if you have 'em!
