Tips for Brides and Grooms - Tips for Groomsmen
When
should we be looking for tuxedos? Do I
have to go to a large formalwear chain to accommodate my out
of town gentlemen in my wedding party?
When should I have my groomsmen fitted? The sooner they get this out of the way the sooner you have one less thing to worry about. We normally recommend that you set a deadline of two months before the wedding with the exception of children who have the tendency to grow in spurts. Hold of on them until three to four weeks prior to the wedding. We can easily accommodate last minute measurement submissions if necessary. Is there a second fitting involved? Yes. Two days prior to the wedding the gentlemen will have their final fitting. At this point, any last minute alterations may be performed on the spot. Do all my groomsmen have to be fitted and pickup at the store they registered at? Once you register with a Black Tie Formalwear location your groomsmen may go to any our locations. All they have to know is the bride or groom's last name and the wedding date. Our stores have the ability to look-up the location that you registered at. We will then call that store and confirm styles and pricing for accuracy. Your groomsmen may get fitted and pickup at any location. It is assumed that the location your groomsmen get fitted at is where they would also like to pickup at. If you would like to get fitted at one location, and pick up at another, please notify your formalwear specialist at the time of fitting. Do I have make an appointment for fittings? If it is an individual fitting or a small group, no appointment is required. If it is a group fitting of 5 or more, please call ahead so that we may have adequate staff available to make the fitting process as efficient as possible. You may want to avoid Thursdays and Fridays as those are designated as pickup days for other wedding parties. However, if those days are best for you and your groomsmen, just let us know ahead of time and we will accommodate you! When should the tuxedos be returned? Your tuxedos are due back by closing on the following business day after the event. Do you provide wedding invitations? Absolutely! Every Black Tie Formalwear location has a large selection of invitations at your disposal from all the most popular invitation companies! Do you offer any discounts on invitations? Yes! We offer 50% off your wedding invitations! This includes only the four main parts, invitations, reception, response, and informal thank you's. How early should I order my invitations? We suggest that you order your invitations between six to eight months before the date of your wedding. This will leave ample time for assembly, addressing, and the option of ordering additional pieces. (We have invitation specialists in every store to insure that your invitations turn out as perfect as you imagined!). How do I decide what color shirt to choose for my wedding party? Shirt colors are based off the bride's wedding dress. In the event that the bride chooses a cream or ivory dress, you will may want your groom and groomsmen to wear ivory shirts. White shirts are available to all wedding parties. If you're looking for a unique style for your wedding party be sure to check out our Black, Black with White Stripe, and White with Black Stripe luxurious microfiber shirts! At Black Tie Formalwear you have choices, and the choice is yours! What color vest should the groom and the groomsmen be wearing? Colors of the vests depends a lot on what color the bridesmaid's dresses are. Usually you will want to match the same color with the groomsmen. The groom will want to wear a color that is different than the rest of the groomsman such as an white, platinum, or an ivory vest (depending on the shirt color selected). The Ringbearers will generally match the groom or the groomsmen. The fathers will want to stand apart from the wedding party, (remember, they are the ones that made this all possible!) you can choose a neutral color such as black or silver. Are studs and cufflinks provided for my wedding party? Yes! We will provide your entire wedding party with the appropriate men's jewelry to make them look their best on your wedding day! Where can I get fitted and pickup my tuxedo? You may pickup and get fitted at any Black Tie Formalwear location regardless of where the bride and groom may have registered at. We ask that you get fitted up to two months before the wedding. From there you will have a final fitting which occurs the week of the wedding. On your pickup date will try the actual tuxedo you will be wearing, have any fine tuning alterations performed, and you will take it home with you that day! You will pickup your tuxedo two days before the wedding, unless otherwise specified. For Saturday weddings the scheduled pickup date is Thursday evening. For Friday Weddings you will be picking up on Wednesday evening. For Sunday weddings your tuxedo will be available for pickup on Friday. Depending on the store, your tuxedo will usually be ready after 6PM unless otherwise specified. I am from out of town, where do I get fitted? Just stop by your nearest formalwear provider or tailor and have your measurements taken. This is a very common courtesy in our industry and is usually free of charge. Once they have their measurements they can send them to the Black Tie Location of their choice via our website, phone, fax, or mail them in. If your having trouble locating a place to get fitted at, just give us a call or send us an email and we will do our best to locate one for you. Click here to submit measurements online. How do I submit my
measurements? Usually you want to be fitted about one to two months prior to the wedding. If the fitting is for a child hold off until about 2-3 weeks prior to the wedding date. What is best to wear to my first fitting?
