Should i go with my groom and groomsmen to pick out tuxedos

Stephanie, on April 16, 2021 at 9:25 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14
So my fiancé is going with his groomsmen to get fitted and pick out tuxedos. Should I go so I can make sure they are picking the right colors. In our fall wedding we have three different colors for the bridesmaids and I just want everyone to match. So should I go or not???

    I mean I went with my FH, but he also went with me to pick out my dress. We are letting our bridal party handle their own attire. I think its entirely up to you and your personal situation. If your FH would feel better with you there then go.

    If I were you, I would definitely go. I kinda like to be in control of things and make sure everything is correct so, to clear my mind... I would go.

    I went. My husband chose the styles coat and everything. Then I just picked a vest color. Be sure to bring any swatches or linens you have. I forgot mine and had to do my best 🤦‍♀️

    I went! We got their sizes and saw what looked good and then I ended up ordering the attire myself. But if I were you I would go since you are the one planning the color scheme and outfits! It was fun to see fh all dressed up too!

    My FH and myself went together (just us two) to pick out the his attire and the groomsmens. Then all his groomsmen had to do was go and get fitted at a local Men’s Warehouse in their area.

    I will be going with FH and groomsmen for picking out their attire and all fittings, and my mom may also be invited to that.

    My family owned a bridal/formal wear store for 26 years, and my mom has a crazy amount of experience in fitting men for tuxes and her and I both know how they should fit. At my FBIL's wedding the tuxes fit HORRENDOSLY but none of the guys noticed, but it was all I could think about, I even said something at the fitting that I went to for FH's suit for his brother's wedding but the lady at men's warehouse told me I was wrong. I showed my mom the pictures and she too thought it was distracting with how bad the suits fit and that will not be happening at my wedding.

    FH and I went together to pick out colors and style, and he went with the guys to get measurements, etc. It was the best of both worlds as the tuxes were sure to match the overall aesthetic and color scheme, and he got to have a “guys day” when they went back.

    How much of a trip would this be?

    Is it possible that you and your FH can go and select colors/style or some options ahead of time and then he and the groomsmen can go and select from some options or do their fittings together. I feel like getting wedding party outfits is a good bonding activity and having the bride there may take away from that experience for the guys.

    My husband and I previewed bridesmaids dresses and grooms suits beforehand to narrow down selections, but the final pick was made by each party on its own. For my husband his groomsmen were split between two friend groups that had never met before, so getting together was a really good experience for them and me being there would have been a distraction.

    I went with H when he picked out his suit, but he picked it - I just acted as a sounding board.

    Our guys are all over the country so my FH and I went to men's wearhouse and picked out the one we liked and then sent the link to all the guys so they could go to their local store to get fitted. The ones who are traveling by plane were saying that they were going to get measured by them but pick up just before the wedding by the venue so they didn't have to worry about flying with with it and potential wrinkles/damage. I never thought of that, but it's a great idea and saves space if you have to pay for luggage!

    I'd definitely go. I went with my fiance and there was things we agreed on and disagreed on. I wanted things to match as close as possible to my bridesmaids and he didn't want to be in charge of that incase it didn't match up.

    We went together to make sure that he can choose the tux he wanted for the wedding and to make sure we had the right colors to match the bridesmaids dresses.

    My hubby and his guys took care of that. I would have felt like Mommy if I had gone along. He doesn't need me for work or negotiating international airports, and my hub would have felt not trusted/ insulted if I did not assume he was up to doing hankies or vests or ties.
