Buckets isn't doing a wedding party.
Why not pick a tux they can rent from there?
Somewhat related but the fiancee's sister is looking into a ceremony at sea on a 5 day cruise. So I guess that's where the bulk of this year's vacation days are going.
And if you make your groomsmen fly to nowhere Oregon AND buy $400 suits, the rehearsal dinner and reception better be baller and the groomsmen gifts should be of the $250+ variety.
Is there time to talk her out of it?
I was in a wedding this summer and the groom had us purchase gray suits from Jos A Bank for like $200 that they negotiated the price on. He just had us wear a white shirt and black shoes we already had and he supplied the ties. It ended up being not that much more than a rental.
The suit is just ok but I sometimes wear the pants to work. For someone like his brother who is trying to get a job this was I think his first suit so it should be useful for him.
surprised how many here are aghast by this.
we had to fly to 3 different weddings this year my wife was a bridesmaid in. we paid for hotel for 2 of them. she bought the dresses all 3 times and 2 were over $300.
those the bitchiest posts i've read on here in a while.
isn't there any honor in just being there for your bro? i've spent out the ass to get to/be in weddings and could not care less if the bride gets me a gift.

LOL at people being shocked at the idea of paying for their tuxedo rental. Bigger LOL at people expecting $250 gifts for being a groomsman. You'll get your monogrammed grooming kit and be happy or go take a hike. I mean, seriously guys, the people getting married are already spending a shitload on the wedding. Be happy you got an invitation and be doubly honored you were asked to be a part of the wedding party.
Totally agree. I honestly think giving the groomsmen the tie for their suit as a gift is straight busch league unless its accompanied by something nice. I was in a wedding recently where I spent over $1200 and I got a half pint of jim bean and the fucking tie to the suit. I was expecting something a little nicer.
