FAQs About Tuxedo Rental

If you plan to get married, you also need to consider the men in the bridal party and what they are wearing. In most cases, men rent their attire for a formal wedding. Consult these FAQs about tuxedo rental as a basic guide to help demystify the process.

Q: When is the best time to decide what the men should wear?

A: As soon as you know what the bride and her attendants are going to wear, it is time to also decide on the menswear. Usually, three months prior to the wedding is sufficient. This allows time for the men to select their tuxedos and to get fitted at their convenience. In addition, it allows time to take advantage of sale prices.

Q: Is it necessary to schedule an appointment?

A: It is not absolutely necessary to schedule an appointment with the tuxedo shop in advance; if there is a large wedding party that needs fitting, it is best to call ahead in order to give the rental company time to accommodate your group.

Q: When should a tuxedo fitting get done?

A: Ideally, it is best to get fitted two or three weeks before the event in order to allow extra time if need be; this is in case any additional alterations are required. You also need to be prepared to try on the shirt, pants, coat and formal shoes on the day that you pick them up to make sure there are no last minute adjustments required.
