in August 2013 Weddings
So, almost everything is taken care of for our August 10th wedding, except the men have not even looked at tuxes? I have been antsy about it... can someone tell me how late is too late? Its bothering me a little more because, together FI and I have 4 boys, who all need fitted. I want to know what kind of prices we are looking at... is it unreasonable that FI is stressing me so much? Maybe I need to be patient....

    Don't freak out, I know where we went for tuxes said they can order them in as little as 30 days. This has been a source of stress for us as well, but I wish we would have waited until a little closer to the wedding do have done it. You def have time. Our price range (we looked at two places) were from $150-$220. That was for tux, vest, tie, shoes. Good luck!

    Thanks! Maybe I will back off of FI for a bit. my main concern is the pricing, like I said. I found a place where I can buy suits for our boys, was just trying to find the cheapest way.

    We got our suits at jos a bank for about $220 a suit. All of the guys were super happy because even though it was slightly more than a tux they get to keep the suit!

    We also went with suits.  We let everyone pick their own black suit, so if they had one they wouldn't have to purchase.  My oldest brother already had a nice black suit, and my FI and his brother got really nice suits at Macy's for less than $150 each.

    I think that he actually wants suits... we saw a sign at Peebles that says they start at $59.99. They are gonna try there first, he finally got ahold of his brother and told him, no more excuses, we are gonna get this done! They are sopposed to goTuesday, so we will see.

    My fiancé and the groomsmen went to mens wearhouse and their price for a rented Calvin Klein tux/suit is $179 including tax. All they require is 30 days and $20 deposit .

    Well... they went to Peebles and they got suits for around $90. I did have a breakdown though, BM wouldn't answer messages and never showed up, and GM #1 realized AT THE FITTING, that his parents 50th anniversary party was from 4-6 on our wedding day! Our ceremony is at 4... I offered to even change our day, just for him, because he is so important to FI, but GM #1 said no. He said he will be at the reception, and finds it neat that we are getting married on his parents 50th. I am just so upset that BM didn't care enough to even say, hey, I can't make it and now the other dropping out... Maybe I'm a little more stressed than I thought I was!

    Seriously.  Now that I think of it, I left a sort of "joking" reply to that FB post but maybe I should call to make sure he doesn't buy tickets.

    Crisis averted-he didn't buy tickets AND booked a hotel room.  Good thing there aren't too many other country fans in my crowd!

    We're getting our tuxes for about $80 each and my FI's is free. Sometimes based on the number of rentals, you get deals. We are renting them through the Tux Shop. They need all of the guys to be fitted by 30 days before our wedding to ensure everything arrives on time.

    Awesome deal Tiffany! Ours were $150 and that was the cheapest one, on sale. FI had his heart set on Jos. A Bank based on prior renting experiences, but its definitely pricey.
