CommentAuthorLaticschick Holland
We weren;t going to hire suits but found a cracking deal of 6 suits, including shirts, cravats, waistcoat and cuff links for £293!
However if we weren't going to hire we would prob look at things like Supermarkets or Ma t a lan
CommentAuthorRags
I have posted before about h2b's last suit - worn 3 times in 2 years costing total of £99 brand new and its designer, so at the moment we are thinking of just buying something, but as we have so long to go yet we don't know for sure.
I'm now a married woman
I have a gorgeous husband
Whats to do now
Theres no more wedding planning to do
We saw some nice ones in matalan and asda but I've also found a suit company on line that is £250 per suit and waistcoat but they have a 50% discount code at the moment so it would make them £125 each. Still slightly more money than the others that we have seen for about £70 but they are really good quality so my h2b can wear it again for meetings etc.
CommentAuthorRach (Mrs H)...
we are not either, John doesnt want to wear a suit he cant keep as i will be able to with my dress, we are buying Johns, Best man and Johns teenage son suits.We are then providing ties for the men in the bridal party to wear.......
CommentAuthormomari

who are you supposed to dress? i am only getting h2b and 3 best men then everyone else is sorting themselves out, my dad and stepdad are coming but not giving me away etc so just thought I would leave it at the 4 of them, is that ok? x looking at one in next for £110 tho
CommentAuthormummy2Olivia_Lisa

6 n a half weeks scan!!!!!! x x x
CommentAuthorAtaraxia
We're definitely going to buy h2b's suit, as I know he'll get lots of use out of it... going to have a look around h2b's favourite suit so far was in Primark lol! We were going to get him one from a local suit shop but it's closed down now so needing to have another look around...
I quite like the idea of just getting nice shirts and ties but I know h2b wants to wear a waistcoat...and it'll be the middle of November so quite cold! Again will have to go shopping... I know h2b's brother is coming over soon so if we can arrange something with best man, we can set about finding something!

You can get a whole suit from Asda for about £30-40.
CommentAuthorMrsC.Wade2B
Oh glad i found this thread because i have no idea about suits and h2b said he is not bothered about choosing groomsmen suits because he's already found his suit, which is a pain lol and i dont want the groomsmen wearing just anything? xx

CommentAuthorKinkyemo
my H2B is getting his suit from asda and just getting a nice shirt he was quoted £100 for hiring a suit but can buy one for £60 with a nice shirt
CommentAuthorFuture Mrs Doublé
h2b at 1st wanted a morning suit but I am not so sure any more. I love him to bits, but he is as tall as I am 5'4" (quite short for a man) and I will wear heels, if he was to wear a morning suit he would look even shorter, and am not sure how comfortable he'd feel but he doesn't realize it, so I showed him some tuxedos, (most likely from asda) and he says it's not bad, but he's a bit indecisive so next Sunday, I'll take him to Asda, which is 10 min away from us I'll pretend groceries shopping, and have him try it on and see how he feels. It'd be cheaper to get tux from asda for all 5 men, than hiring and I'd get h2b burgundy bow tie and cummerbund whereas all other men, will only have black bow ties.
Soon to be Mrs Gary Doublé
Everything is now booked
Getting really stressed and excited now
we not hiring as it seems a lot for just a day at £80 when for 100 we can get a 3 piece suit od trousers, jacket and wasitcoat for 100 and hes got it for any other occassaion to if needed.

cant believe it .. less then 30 days to go !!!
CommentAuthorMrsMills2b
We weren't sure what to do, but eventually decided that we both liked the look of tailcoats and we felt that this would make H2B and his men feel extra special on the day as they aint gonna wear these type of suits at any other time except at a wedding!! Just sorted them out today and they look absolutely stunning!!!!
CommentAuthorjoey86
I said to H2b that he needs to decide what colour suit he's going to wear (black, navy, grey whatever) and then tell his bestman and ushers to wear the same colour with a white shirt. And then we'll buy the ties. H2B doesn't like wearing suits or even ties, so no point spending a ton of money on something he won't keep on for very long! I can guarantee you the minute the photographers are over, he'll have thrown the suit jacket and tie away haha! x
CommentAuthorsuzky123
we are hiring as are worried that the waistcoats trousers and blazers wont match otherwise
cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo

CommentAuthorJane
We got H2Bs and my sons from Matalan, cant remember exactly how much but pretty cheap and very good quality! They even sold the right colour cravats for £2.50 in the sale! Had to get the waistcoats from Debenhams to match though and they were £30 each :( But at least they both have smart suits to wear again, and the waistcoats and cravats can go on ebay after!
CommentAuthorlkparfitt
wen we went 2 look at hiring the suits it worked out £45 per suit including accidental damage cover, so was quite pleased with that, we only got 3 suits, h2b my dad and his dad who is his bestman xxx
CommentAuthorxxhan87xx

we weern't going to ... but we went to a wedding last July where the men were in full garb ... and then h2b decided they looked so good he wanted them too, so we are hiring three - h2b, best man & uncle who is giving me away. We've also bought ties for his stepdad, and the bridesmaids' husbands.

Were not hiring suits.. infact H2B went out on sunday and bought his and My Dads... £120 each.. just gotta get two red cravats now!!
CommentAuthorNishaVyas88
We're not- too difficult to organise. The guys are taking care of their own suits (one's a local politician so he has a lot of suits already). All we care about is that their ties are purple to match the bridesmaids.
CommentAuthorMrsSnedden2B
We were going to hire suits it would have been about 400 quid for just the adults 60 quid for page boy now we have went with kilts 40 each hire for 4 days x

We are not hiring, costs too much money and i want to keep the suits for memories and h2b can wear his to work after, hiring suits costs alot, we was looking into hiring with burtons when they wanted £70 each, we got the whole outfit for less than that and they look 100 times better!! xx
Cannot Wait till becoming Mrs Harding!!
CommentAuthorlollilou
We didn't hire. We brought the outfit for my h2b and my 8 year old son. Everyone else sorted their own suits out but they all wore purple ties.xx
CommentAuthorWeeMintyMonkie
If you really wanted the suits then you can get some nice ones for cheap at the local superstores!
Also we are having kilts!
My mum said my bro might hire his and im pretty sure my dad would hire his out also as we are pretty tight with money right now!

CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
ohhhhhhh just went to look at the suit deal @ tesco but they only have one suit style in grey and the other is blue ........i`m looking for black ones
We need to hire 7 morning suits !!!!! We were told by M bros we need to place a deposit of £200 on EACH suit EEK..Does anyone know if you can buy morning suits?
CommentAuthorWeeMintyMonkie
OMG 200 for just one suit as a deposit! that is ALOT kimmy! xxx
CommentAuthorstar12345
We've just ordered 12 suits with M Bros and just paid half the total cost as a deposit now and the rest closer to the time. 3 are children's, and they're also doing "the groom goes free", but the adult suits were about £100 each (that's for trousers, jacket, shirt, waistcoat, cravat, and hankerchief) so don't know where they got £200 for your deposit Kimmy! I'd definately double check that! x
CommentAuthorkimmy
It's a damage waiver apparently, they take card details and take some of the amount if damaged or not returned!!
CommentAuthorstar12345
Oh yes they did that when H2B was a Best Man a couple of years ago, but they don't actually charge the card. It's just so they could do if the suit didn't find it's way back! They've got insurance included with them though for small damage. All ours will get returned in one piece (or else, lol) but people are going to give a swipe of their own cards not ours, just in case..! H2B looks so good in his suit I'd consider letting them take the payment off the card so we can keep it. LOL! ;-) x
