    I'm still unsure of what I want the 2 ring bearers to wear, and am looking around for places to get a tux or suit. The tux place is renting them for $43, but would like to find something cheaper. I've thought about just piecing things together, but wanted to see if you had any suggestions. They boys will be 2 & 3 at the time of the wedding, and we'd like to spend as little as possible on their attire (and by we, I mean their parents).

    Have you checked Amazon?  I know last time I looked they had little boys suits for about $40 each.  I'd also check your local Craigslist!

    Do you have a Burlington Coat Factory near you? They have lots of baby/toddler-sized formal wear (not positive why; but they do). And it's cheap!

    Oh!  I just thought about this as well.  Easter is coming up soon - so ALL of the discount places (Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's) will be putting out dress clothes soon - maybe check in the upcoming weeks?

    I figured it would be best to look after Easter. I didn't think about Burlington! I'll have to look at Marshalls too! Thanks!

    Also, Ebay has great deals.  My mom bought my nephew's suit for our wedding for $20 off of Ebay.  :)

    We ordered a suit from JC Penney but were disappointed with what we got.  I'd look elsewhere.

    If you have a SYMs near you, they have a little boy's formal department and their prices are great (suits starting at $39.99), especially check out the clearance section!

    $43 is going to be hard to beat-- remember, you need the suit AND shirt, tie, vest, etc. And buying at their age doesn't make much sense anyway, since they'll only be able to wear it for a very short time.

    $43 is a steal!  The place we're renting out tuxes was going to charge us $116 (same price as the groomsmen!) for our ring bearer tux!  I just went to Sears and found a really cute vest outfit that matched our weddings colors and bought that instead.  It was around $40.  MyGirlDress.com has some suits, but I don't think you're going to find much of anything for under $40.  Good luck!

    I don't think they get a vest. That might be extra. I didn't ask, actually. The display didn't have it on there, so I would assume it's extra, because it was for the guys. FI's mom will be making it though.

    Everybody gets upset that the RBs tuxes are the same price to rent as the men's, but they don't know that they A) cost the same to buy, and B) do not last long AT ALL!

    Seriously, my sister ordered a tux off ebay for her son as ringbearer, perfect fit, comes with jacket, pants, vest, shirt, bow tie for 20 bucks. He just need socks and shoes, can't beat that.

    Give Mr Formal a shot.  We used them and they were awsome and affordable.
