Grooms attire

Postby muckypup » Tue Sep 07, 2010 5:38 pm

just curious what your h2b's are doing, are they buying their outfit for the day or hiring? we're in Galway so just wondering what the best thing to do would be. im having my 2 babies as my page boys ha ha, (well my biggest boy will be the ring bearer and the baba will be walking up beside him blowing bubbles - in matching suits awwwwwh) :snowman

lol H2B told me it is only €400 for the 5 suits (rent 4 & groom goes free) - that includes everthing including shoes / cufflinks / cravat / full suit (everything except socks & boxers!)

suits are more expensive to buy, plus the hassle after to mind it! :P

Black Tie were doing a deal where is was only €70 per person for full suit hire (incl waistcoat & cravat) so thats pretty good.
My OH is in the army and all the male bridal party are in the army so they will be wearing dress uniforms and I will just need suits for 2 dads and our 2 kids.

That was the deal available at the RDS. AFAIK there is another wedding fair in January and again next September and they are sure to be there again. I was going to book last week and they told me to come back this time next year because styles may change!
I really don't think there is much panic where suits are concerned.
