Re: October Girls Update
Jim was VERY pick about the vest in his tux.He HAD to have a full back vest not a bib. And he wanted a morning tux.
The only place we found this was the Tuxedo Palace. We went a few other places, but all of them had bibs.
We finally gave up and went back to Tux Palace this past weekend. I heard 50/50 reviews from them so I drilled those poor folks. I am also VERY aware my father and twin brothers will have only one day to ‘try on’ the tux before the wedding, so I’m going to be a hound on them to make sure it’s prefect and I’m going to check every button and cufflink before we leave with the tuxes to make sure EVERYTHING is there and everything matches/fits.
I’m taking no chances.
The most common complaint I’ve heard so far with tuxes is wrong size, wrong color, missing parts. I intend to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Oh and the service to the Palace has been great seeing as they sit next door to Bridal Reflections I was shocked to find folks who greeted us, smiled at us and treated us with respect!

Sorry meant to say Tuxeudo Park

Re: October Girls Update
My cousin just got married and they got their tuxes from Men's Warehouse. They said they were great and the tuxes looked wonderful, so I'll probably go there.

Let me pick your brains...
Where have your FH gotten their tuxes from?
I am going with the guys tomorrow to RSVP in Commack. I know someone who used them and didn't have any problems. I will let you know how they are.

Re: October Girls Update
We got a bunch of stuff done this weekend - but there is still so much to do! The next few weeks are gonna be super busy + my future in laws (almost all of them!) are coming to visit next weekend ( I have a feeling my shower is that weekend).We went to men's Warehouse and they have full vests and a good selection. FH was a little overwhelmed by all the choices.

Re: October Girls Update
Well my invites are now stuffed and going into the mail today unless I managed to find the wax gun. What a pain in the A$$ these invites were. All I kept telling FH as we were stuffing them was WE ARE NEVER doing this again!!!!

Re: October Girls Update
My COOL red watercolored floral paper outer envelopes have proved to be a pain the Arse!Every time we go to the post office the ladies say “ooh how pretty..” that’s great then we ask for hand canceling and wouldn’t ya know?? Those stamps are RED!!!!! They do NOT appear on my envelopes. I hope folks get their invites.
