Who usually selects the wedding
tuxedos?
The bride and the groom. The specifics of your wedding concerning style,
formality, and time of day will affect your decision.
What if something doesn't fit?
Make sure the men in your wedding party try on their tuxedos when they
pick them up. By allowing yourself extra time, store personnel can make
whatever changes are needed for that perfect fit.
Do all tuxedos have a satin strip down
the sides?
Yes, except for daytime formals featuring cutaways, which do not.
What is the proper fit for a tuxedo?
Coat: It should fit comfortably across the shoulders. On
most styles, the body should be long enough for the coat to brush the
insides of your fingers when your hand is cupped around the bottom.
Sleeves: Each should fall just below the wristbone.
Collar: It should comfortably hug the neck.
Trousers: Worn at the waist, they should not grab the hip
or thigh, allowing the pleats to fall naturally. The length should brush
the shoe tops.
Vest: Vest should be adjusted at the neck so that the
bottom of the vest covers the waistband of the trousers, hiding the
slide adjustments.
Can all the men in the party wear
tails?
Absolutely! It is most appropriate when the bridesmaids' gowns are very
formal.
How can we encourage our guests to
dress up?
On the invitations, add the words, "Black Tie Invited."
