Wedding How much did the outfits for your groomsmen/ushers cost?

[CrownJewel]

I really don''t want to ask our 4 groomsmen to spend money on rentals, but I took a survey of their existing formal wardrobes...and they just don''t match up. So I''m wondering how much each of your groomsmen''s outfits cost? Either rental or purchase. And if you have a photo that''d be awesome too.

Thanks!

We paid for our groomsmen's attire, but there were only 2, so it wasn't so bad. I think the tux rentals were around $100? I'd have to look at the receipt. We bought them ties as well, which were $80 each or so? D bought his tux, so that was more expensive, but we were able to find tuxes to rent for the groomsmen that were the same style. Let me find a pic...

Just in case D's groomsmen didn't want their faces posted, I painted over them. D's tux was black, the other tuxes were a charcoal color with thin pinstripes.

Our tux rentals (in san francisco) are $140 each. They bought Jenny Yoo ties for about $82 each that are being made right now. They are wearing their own dress shoes since tux rental shoes are too patent leathery for a daytime outdoor wedding in my opinion. Our guys are paying for their own tuxes and ties.

ETA: http://www.blacktietuxedos.com, 3 button notch collar tux, very nice stuff there too.

I'm in Los Angeles.

If we stick with the plan as it is now, it'll be $150/each (that's my short answer

). This is the tux that FI chose: Tommy Hilfiger Two-Button Super 100's Notch Lapel. I think it was a little pricier than their basic tux, but not much. For some reason I expected it to be more like $70-100. Not sure why. Oh well!

We're considering buying FI his own suit instead... so then the guys would rent/buy suits rather than tuxes. I'm pulling for this option, as I wasn't crazy about the pleated tux pants (which was all they had) AND we'll have a lot of weddings/events that he'll need it for over the next few years.

We''re marrying in the morning so our boys are wearing traditional morning suits. The rental costs about $130, I believe, and that includes everything but the boxers!

This is what they look like:

Haven, where did you rent from? Those look suspiciously like flat-front pants...

Ours were $180 which I felt was really expensive, but the guys didn''t complain. DH picked out Ralph Lauren tuxes, so I think that was part of it, but they looked really good. And the Ring Bearer was half price. The groom''s tux was FREE!
