How far in advance did your bridal party have tux measurements sent in?

We gave everyone the info in November and told them to get measurements in by March because the tux place said they get very busy around prom season.

FH's brothers (our 2 best men) still have not gone, and neither have his grandparents.

I'm kind of frustrated that they are taking so long, especially since we gave them months of notice. When realistically should measurements be in? FH thinks they can do it a week before, but the tux guy told us to aim for March.

I don't really know much about tuxes, so I don't want to go crazy if they really do have lots of time, but I also don't want them to get screwed over.

Our two guys got measured 3 months before. Only because my fh called the tux place and said can you please call my GM and tell them that they NEED to come in now! After she called them, they went the next day. Maybe try that!

Hopefully FH is taking his [older] brother to go get measured today...
