Tip: April always brings us to Prom Season which makes us think of Tuxedo Rentals. This is always something to watch for. Prom season usually begins around Easter and runs through Memorial Day weekend.

Keep in mind, even if you do not know of a school having proms, they are nationwide. That means tuxedo stores move their inventory around as much as possible to meet the orders. However, the first sizes to run out will be substituted--so this means you may not get the size you require.

Reserve your tuxedo rentals immediately. Out-of-town ushers or groomsmen can go to any tuxedo store to be measured--have them go to a tuxedo store to do this--do not let them try to measure it themselves--it doesn't work.

It is appropriate for the ushers and groomsmen to pay for their own tuxedo. Discuss the price with them ahead of time so they work it into their budget. Also, discuss with your bride if you want to have all the shoes match by renting them.

Think of additional people in your family that you may want to wear tuxedos--like grandfathers, uncles, etc. as this can affect your photos.

Don't put loose change or keys that are noisey in your pockets--they jingle when you walk down the aisle and can be distracting during the service.

Try to check pricing for your tuxedo--many tuxedo stores will give the groom a free or discounted tuxedo.

If you need to have someone return your tuxedo, make sure they are dependable. Tuxedo stores charge for each day they are late. One person can return them for your whole party.

Stay Organized!

Fondly,
Marlene
