    Our wedding is small, just groom and best man on his side. I opted to buy the vest/tie combo. They are wearing with white shirts, blue jeans and cowboy boots. I found the vests with ties for $29 online!

    We don't have a bridal party, so my fiance is going to buy his suit. He has really long arms that don't fit normal sizes very well so he needs a custom fit Smiley smile plus he wants to wear it again lol

    My fiancé and his groomsmen are buying. My fiancé got his suit for 530 dollars which was half off and was able to get the same discount saved for his groomsmen! Their suits are only 230!

    Unless it’s cost effective to buy, they will be renting. None of them wear suits enough to make buying worth it.

    Renting! We didn't want to make the guys buy suits when half of them already has one or is still growing, etc.

    Mine are renting. It turned out to be cheaper and they'll have everything including jacket, vest, shirt, tie, pants, shoes, socks and lapel clip.
    We went to Moore's

    Most likely renting but it is up to them. My fiancé is actually in charge of choosing their attire!

    They’re renting for the most part. Since our wedding is on the farm we didn’t want them in full suits so they’re just renting the shirts, vests and ties and buying jeans. The groom is renting the same things plus a jacket.

    The guys are buying their attire. Moore's gave us a good deal on custom outfits. It costs less for them to do this than to rent, and they get to keep everything!

    Buying! We are just going with grey dress pants and white shirt with suspenders and a bow tie for all the groomsmen and a vest on top for the groom.

    We were lucky to hit Moores on a sale day and got everything for quite a reasonable price! I think it was under $800 for all the groomsmen and groom attire.

    As of right now I want my fiance to buy a new solid black suit! He is slim so I really want to make sure he is in something tailored and fitted and A++++!!!

    The groomsmen I am not sure yet! I do what them all to match but I will guess it'll depend if they'd want to buy or rent! I'm good with either for them!

    Our boys have bought. They all got custom made dark grey suits. They're pretty snazzy.


    We paid for pocket squares and ties that they'll get to keep .

    Most of the groomsmen will probably buy, they like suits but one for sure will probably rent to save money plus he doesn't wear suits ever. I'm a bit concerned of this one groomsmen in particular, once we pick the suits and they need to buy, alter rent etc I know whatever the price is his girlfriend will complain and pretty much talk him out of it. She's very controlling of him, she's already told me he won't be traveling for anything to do with the wedding including bachelor party. So I'm hoping she will either loosen up for this or he will stand up for himself. Would have to see him drop out of being a groomsmen over the suit.. that's why my fiance will be looking for something affordable for them but not cheap looking and the possibility of renting for them.

    My groom is doing a custom tuxedo. It's our treat for him to feel just as fabulous as me on our big day.

    The guys will be renting, all black suits with silver accents. Sleek and formal.

    My groom is going to do a dark navy blue tuxedo with black lapels. White dress shirt for the ceremony/speeches/dances, black dress shirt without the jacket for the party!

    We joke he's more high maintenance than me... haha.
