Brush up on the online rental process   

Unless you’ve recently had to rent formalwear for a special occasion, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the online rental process — and the good news is that it’s probably a lot more simplified than you’d expect. Renting your suit or tux online also comes with a lot of perks: companies like Generation Tux make it easy to browse, order, and return your wedding attire, all from your house. Innovative size algorithms eliminate the worry of ill-fitting pants and jackets (you’ll get a free size replacement just in case), while group ordering tools make it super easy to outfit your groomsmen in coordinating looks. Another perk? You’ll often receive a discount when renting your attire as a group, which makes it an excellent option for budget-conscious couples.
