Suits?

samehat

We are hiring them - 5 adult suits with tails - €700 (£580). As well as the suits with tails, this includes shirts (to keep), ties, waistcoats, shoes, cufflinks and socks (to keep). They are very good quality suits and OH loved it the minute he tried it on, before he knew the price! It was the most expensive in the shop! Not very MSE but to dress 5 people very well for less than half the price my outfit & makeup & hair will cost is not too bad I suppose!

Regarding colours and styles - all wear the same except for the colour of the tie - the grooms one will match my dress whereas the others will be closer to matching the bridesmaid dress colour. All will wear tails although it's optional for the dads.

I was surprised at this but all suits will be tailored individually to suit each man - so the suits will be fitted as if they had bought them fitted!

After a quick chat to OH we have decided to hire, but the shop near him had
quoted £500 for 4 suits!! That seems expensive to me

Hi - depends where you are, but that seems about right to me. Nothing wrong with a bit of haggling though - maybe ask if they can throw in the groom for free?

We've found a site online that do it for under £100, do you think this is dodgy territory?!

We also debated buying but have decided to hire, it's around £100 each from quotes we've got and if you hire 5 or more suits, groom goes free. This works out perfect for us because we need 6 including groom :beer:

I got ours from Mytuxedo, they were around £69.99 each to buy as hiring around here was £120 each. Selling them on afterwards too

Hope that helps.

so who else gets a suit, presumably the groom, the best man, ushers, what about my Dad? I'm not sure what the done thing is?!

I bought suits for groom, best man, Father Of Bride, Father Of Groom

I did get my brother one too but he's no longer invited.

krustylouise

Are you having ushers?

Stephb1986_2

No but you could just make them wear plain suits or what ever they already have to save money?
