Probably hire.
You can buy suits for less than £70 but from Tesco, Asda etc - the ones you hire are bound to be nicer. And since that includes shoes as well, you'd struggle to buy for that.
There might be some odd sale suits about on the hire street that are less but finding five in the right sizes wouldn't be easy.0 -
Are you hiring suits for both Fathers???
That's a good price for hiring, you may also get it cheaper if you hire the Father's suits as well
If you're looking for suit, waistcoat, cravat, shirt and shoes then I would certainly hire:heart2: 'Tied the Knot' Saturday 9th October 2010 :heart2::blushing: Member of Diet Club October 2010 Brides and Grooms :blushing:Starting Weight: 14 stone 10.8lbsCurrent Weight: 13 stone 2lbsTotal loss: 21.8lbs :j0 -
we bought the suits for £50 each in a sale but thats just the jacket and trousers
looks like waistcoats will be £20, cravats £8 and I got the shirts for £12 in a sale
they are each providing their own shoes
so I think thats probably as cheap as you will do it if you go down the buying option
we went for buying in the end as we prefered to buy them and have everyone keep the suits afterwards than pay near the same just for renting
oh and we had to get 6 suits and still managed to find 6 the same in a clearance sale (suits were reduced from about £180 to £50)Married on 5th March 2010still lurking on the wedding board tho :rotfl:0 -

I got the grooms and best mans tie in matalan at the weekend, they were priced at £3 each but scanned at 75p each, i was well chuffed.
Regarding suit we are buying simply because OH wants to wear it again but looks like i am going to have to hire the waistcoats:smileyhea Getting married on, 05/06/10 :smileyhea0
