    Here's my dilemma.  My wedding is still 13 months out, but we are planning on doing light grey colored suits for our outdoor wedding in June.  We need to buy 4 matching suits (1 groom, 3 groomsmen).  So I'm wondering when the best time would be to buy them.  I'm afraid if we get them now, they may not fit our groomsmen in a year.  But if I wait too long, (say December, January) then there won't be any light grey suits since it is such a spring/summer color. 

    What should I do hive?

     

    --To top it off I found a stellar deal for $99 dollar suits for really good quality.  It's exactly what we've been looking for.

    I say snatch the $99 suits up!  Are your groomsmen likely to fluctuate that much in size?

    LOL.... I have NOO idea.  It's hard to say.  2 of the guys have stayed pretty stagnant for the last few years.  The other two fluctuate a bit.

    Maybe buy the suits a little bigger and then have them taken in.

    I would go ahead and get them. Besides if you wait until December/January, if you do find a grey suit it will probably be a heavier, winter fabric.

    Oooh! I love these black ones I found on there - and they are only $69! Why are they so cheap?

    I don't know...but we plan on ordering 1 first just to make sure of the quality before we tell the groomsmen to get them too!

    mandalynn17- Did you end up ordering the suit? If so, are you happy with the quality, fit, etc?

    We think it would be a good idea to buy vs. rent as it's only my FI and his best man. Best man is gong to be hard to fit & lives in a rural area.

    I went to Men's Wearhouse the other day & was not impressed. I wouldn't want to make the BM drive 2 hours to get lousy service & not be fitted properly.
