How to Suit Up Groomsmen Without Breaking the Budget

Asking your groomsmen to stand by your side on your wedding day is a big ask. Asking them to spend hundreds of dollars on an outfit they'll return the next morning is an even bigger one. Here's how to approach the budget conversation with respect for everyone involved.

Own vs. Rent: The Math Matters

Our Basic package starts at $199.99 — and that includes the suit, dress shirt, shoes, and tie. A typical tuxedo rental from a national chain runs $150–$250, and that's before damage waivers, late fees, and add-ons. When you factor in everything, buying often costs the same or less.

The difference? Your groomsmen walk away with something they own forever. That changes the conversation entirely.

Consider Covering Part of the Cost

Many couples choose to cover the cost of the suit as a gift to their groomsmen. If you're using our 7+ groomsmen deal (groom's suit is free), the savings you get can go directly toward subsidizing the guys. It's a meaningful gesture that reduces the financial burden.

Group Deals Add Up

At G&G, groups of 3+ unlock package pricing. The more groomsmen you bring, the more everyone benefits. And with 7+ groomsmen, the groom's suit is completely free — that's real money back in your pocket.

The Bottom Line

Budget doesn't have to mean basic. With the right package and the right approach, your whole party can look like they walked out of a magazine — without anyone going broke. Book a consultation and we'll walk you through every option.
