I second the tie bar comment. buy matching ties for your groomsmen, that's pretty awesome.
Renting tuxes is a straight up waste of money. The online custom suit stores are usually really good. Just bought one from indochino, $250 with a coupon. I think they're usually on sale for $300.
I'm not sure what tuxes rent for these days, the prices I'm seeing here seem awfully high compared to what my groomsmen paid 13 years ago. But it was a long time, so my memory may be fuzzy.
Asking guys to spend a lot of money to buy a suit is tough, but if it's the same price as a tux rental it's not a bad idea if it's a usable suit. I think all of this is a lot of expense, though. I was in a friend's wedding a few years ago in A2 that was plenty nice, and he simply asked guys to wear a black suit (many have them, and those that don't can use it so it's not a bad purchase) and gave us matching ties. It looked great and it fit with our needs.
I'm a bit of a critic of the expensive wedding trends of the current day, though, so I'm naturally sympathetic to that. It won't matter how detailed, how well planned, and how good-looking it was 10 and 20 and 30 years from now.
But to each their own.
$50 in license fees. Still happy together 27 years later.
I have a very good dark blue suit and like you wear it maybe once a year. My family, aunts and uncles, are getting very old. There are a lot of them, late 70's-mid 80's. I fear I'm going to get to much use soon.
you pussies!
The only acceptable groomsman gift is a Sgain-dubh.
We rented and looking back I wish we would have bought suits. At the time I thought it made sense, but after buying a few suits for the same price of renting, it was dumb.
