How far out did your fh get his suit?

John Smith, on January 23, 2020 at 8:48 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

How soon before the wedding did your Fiance get his suit?

The groomsmen and the ring bearer are wearing the same colour so they need to get it from the same place. One of the groomsmen lives out of state and will be around this weekend, and likely won't be back in town again until the end of May (Wedding is July 4). Should they go this weekend or can they wait until May?

FH lost some weight over the holidays because we were travelling and he was away from the gym, so he'll likely bulk up a bit more before the wedding which makes me nervous about them buying the suits so early.

    We are getting married in September. My fiancé who is a woman but wearing a suit is getting her suit in May to leave time for alterations.

    The groomsman could always get measured for a suit, but not purchase it until closer. My brother and father just sent the place we got our tuxes their measurements since my brother's wedding was 3 months before mine. Otherwise they would have had to drive 1.5 hours one way just to be measured.

    FH got measured about two months before our wedding and his rental will arrive two weeks before the wedding. I think you could wait until May and it would be fine.

    We went with Men's Wearhouse and because he had a set number of groomsmen, FH will receive a custom. They will not measure or start on the custom suit until 14 days prior to the wedding. All the groomsmen were told to get measured a month prior, so they are all going between this week and next week.

    We got married in November and ordered their outfits in August. Our wedding was more laid back and the guys wore jeans, white long sleeves button down shirts and a vest with a wine colored tie. All their stuff came from Mens Wearhouse minus the jeans.

    We went through Men's Warehouse and they got fitted and paid for the suits last month and pick the suits up 2 days before the wedding!
