Tux Rental Savings


Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding...a source of money-saving tips for couples who want to organize a debt free wedding...and all written by the guy who wrote Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget.

A few days ago a young man asked me about tuxedo rental for his wedding, and I gave him the following ideas for saving.

1. It is not unusual for the groom to get a free tux if his groomsmen rent from the same rental shop. Make sure you ask for this.

2. Instead of renting from tux shops or specialty wedding stores, check out some of the men's stores in your area. Many men's clothing shops have tuxes as a sideline, and these can be less expensive.

3. Don't overlook coupons from men's stores. They do exist.

4. You might save money by wearing other shoes (instead of the rentals) or by asking for the accessories for a lesser price (cummerbund, tie).

5. Ask for a discount if you have an exceptionally large number of groomsmen (more than 5).
