If possible, have your groomsmen come with you to the formal wear store when picking the suits up. Not only will you have extra help carrying out the pants, jackets and shoes, but you can make sure all of the suits fit before ever leaving the store, said Charles Roeller, general manager of Skefington s Formal Attire. We want the groom to have his say, too. If you have a videographer and photographer at your wedding, ask them both to come to the rehearsal. That way the two can work out logistics of capturing the wedding on film.
Most businesses involved in weddings like to have several months notice of the big day.
Penley is already booking for weddings in June and July. Tuxedo shops such as Skefington s need at least a month or more notice to make sure they have all of the right sizes. Wait until the last minute and your prices will go up and choices go down. The Associated Press contributed to this story. We welcome your questions, comments or suggestions .
