Groomsmen Attire

Great news! Choosing your groomsmen's outfits isn't nearly as hard as choosing the bridesmaids dresses! LOL! But seriously, in general, while your groomsmen's outfits should match and mimic the groom's attire, they shouldn't match the groom exactly.  The grooms outfit should have obvious variables that will make him stand out (i.e. different color/style vest, tie, bow-tie, boutonniere) from the other guys.  After all, it's HIS day.  

Your groomsmen are expected to pay the fees for their attire.  Most groomsmen will either rent or buy a tuxedo. They should be the same style, by the same manufacturer. Keep in mind that most rental companies require the outfit to be returned the next day so please read the contract carefully. If renting, designate one of your groomsmen to return everyone's tux the next day.  The groomsmen should also have matching accessories so that they look unified.  

HERE'S A TIP: Schedule a day with the 'fellas' to all get fitted at the tuxedo shop or boutique of your choice.  If renting, all groomsmen should try on ALL pieces of the outfit, including the shoes to make sure everything fits because last minute changes may not be feasible.  Enjoy your "Guys Day Out!" Happy shopping!  #behappy
