2 random questions (again)

Ok so I have 2 questions, the first one is that we are having our rehearsal on Thursday prior to the wedding (our facility requires that we rent out the building for the night on Friday since they won't be able to have another event and its expensive!) so Thursday was a cheaper option, ( I think it will make me more relaxed on Fri anyway.)  my question is.... Mens Warehouse requires that the guys pick up tux's on Thursday... Rehearsal starts at 5 (may try to change to 6) but then dinner will be after, I feel like this will be hard for guys who are working all day.... Think MW will allow pick up on Friday? and what if there is a problem will they be able to fix it that fast??




Ok next question (more serious)

Fi has all 4 grandparents still living.  however one is in a nursing home and will not be able to make it to the wedding.  We still want to order a boutineer for him, but who should we give it to?  Just his wife?? He does have an uncle, but he has quite a few and I don't want to single one out by asking him... thoughts???

    MW may allow Friday pick-up but I would be concerned about how they would fix something if it went wrong.  Would it be possible for one guy to pick up tuxes for everyone on Thursday, or even for one of your moms to do it?  This is what we did and I think it worked out great, and it would save some hassle for the working guys.

    Do you want to have a bout for your grandpa at the wedding, like symbolically?  Or do you just want to make sure he gets it after the wedding to show you were thinking of him?  If it's the latter, I would ask the florist to give it to you in a box and keep it refrigerated until the next day or something.   If you want the bout at the wedding symbolically, I would give it to his wife.

    MW will allow you to pick them up whenever.  They recommend you do it Thursday so the guys can try them on, but you don't HAVE to.  I ended up picking up 3 of the guys tuxes on Thursday, but my husband and one of his GM didn't pick theirs up until Friday and it was no problem.  (This was the MW in Ross Park Mall).  Also, they told us that they had to know by 3pm on Friday in order to fix anything that was wrong by the next morning. We lucked out and didn't have any problems.

    DH picked his tux up at least a week prior to the wedding. i remember being impressed that he had done it and not waited till the last minute. it hung in the closet for a good while prior to the wedding. and as far as i could tell (according to the wives) the GM's all had their tuxes picked up more than a couple of days in advance. check with MW to see how soon before the wedding the tuxes can be picked up.

    i'm not sure exactly what you mean about the bout. for our wedding we had DH's grandparents and my grandfather. my grandmother passed away a few years ago, and it's still a very sensitive topic, especially for my grandfather. we ordered a corsage for my grandma and asked my aunt (who was her oldest) to wear it in her honor. she was very touched by the request. she was kind of our "stand in grandma" for the day/night.
