Guests expecting us to pay for their outfits

I can't believe he has managed to go on a holiday, yet he can't afford a pair of trousers, shirt and shoes. He is definitely trying it on. Tell him either wears what you can afford to get him, meaning charity shop, m and s £19 suit, asda or matalan or just don't get him anything and tell him to get it himself or don't bother coming. Hard to do but he is taking the mick! Let us know how you get on and good luck for your big day x

Can you tell him that Mat Alan is a new designer?

well i have not actually spoken to the brother since his proposal of us buying the outfit interesting to see what happens when i give him the invitation tomorrow i will update you further if i hear anything else.

I would just ignore any further requests to supply clothing. If he says anything more just say you don't mind what he wears and leave it at that.

We have some guests who I doubt will wear what I would prefer them to but I have decided to ignore it and at the end of the day their photos won't be on a wall so who cares.

i would tell him where to get off to be honest. He's got an absolute cheek!

spoke to my fiances mum this morning and she said oh **** is gutted you are not ordering him a suit - she also said he does not own a pair of smart trousers nor shoes - she said he never has the need to wear them anywhere interesting to see what happens when he gets his formal invite.

I can't beleive the cheek of him. Let us know what happens OP.

Gutted you're not ordering him a suit?!?!?! You're not ordering anyone a suit!

He's made a completely unreasonable request and for you to do anything would be to set a precedent which you wouldn't be able to maintain for other guests. I can believe he doesn't own a single pair of trousers or a single shirt?!

He's asked, you've said no. I'd ignore the whole issue from now on, if anyone says anything you can just reply by saying "Oh yes, we've spoken about that and it' all sorted" - because it is. You're not doing it! X

Tell him to lower his normal expensive standards and take a look in Sainburys or Tesco's. Sounds like a real tight wad & I certainly wouldn't be footing his clothing bill. Hope you have a wonderful wedding and don't let him spoil it for you.

You might want to recommend TKMAXX plenty of "names " there for cheap.

Either the guy is a total idiot, or he is so profoundly insecure he honeslty cant function

Suits youd hire arnt exactly "names" are they?
Strange, very strange.
