    Depends on where you're getting them. We like our files to be complete at the 8 week out mark, but we've done parties two weeks out as well. Call your store and find out what their timeline is.

    Date twin! We set up our tuxes online at Men's Wearhouse. The latest I'll have my guys done measurements is mid April at the latest. But that is also well before the deadline that MW gave us.

    I'd go soon to make sure you have options. Go with your FH, pick them out and then send instructions to the guys to go get fitted in the next month. We had to have a deposit down at Men's warehouse to ensure our style would be there the day of the wedding

    Keep in mind your wedding is peak prom season so I would have your party get fitted in February so they don't have to deal with a whole lot of prom madness

    We went to Mens Warehouse, once we had the groom and BM fitted for the Vera Wang BLACK collection. The rest of the GMs had 30 days to come and get fitted so that everyone would get a $40 discount. We went just before christmas and everyone was able to get the discount, most of the guys just put a $20 deposit and will pay the rest at pick up. Mens Warehouse is also doing a sale that if you do 5 tux rentals you get a suit for free, so FH is keeping his tux from the wedding.

    We're May 20th, tuxes have already been picked out and FH has been fitted and ordered, I anticipate the guys in our WP going in by end of February.

    We have an appt this afternoon for FH outfit, and then we'll figure out groomsmen. But everything will be finalized by the end of February, probably. It's not too soon, go as soon as you're able to.

    Our date is June 24th and we have the best man and groom fitted and ordered. They can make changes up to a month out though. So you have some time, but I'd start looking into pricing and what you want them to look like at the very least.

    Also may 13. I've had them all fitted for about 2 months now.

    Something to consider. May is prom season. Some places may have a hard time getting all the suits you need if you don't give them enough time.

    We went about 2 weeks ago and picked ours out and had FH fitted. The store we went to said the rest of the groomsmen need to get fitted by June.

    FH and groomsmen leave in 1 hour for their fitting and payment of their tuxedos. Because May is prom season we were told to book as early as possible so there won't be any issues come March and April.

    We just went to Jos A Banks today and picked everything out. She said we needed to place our order by March and then send the guys for sizing at least 2 weeks before. She said everything will come in 2 days before

    The place my fiancé is getting his suits told them to come in before the end of January to be sized and to order at the latest. She also made a good point about it being prom time as well. Your wedding is the week after ours so I'd make it a higher priority now just in case the place you go is busy as well.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but you need to keep prom in mind!
