The wedding is black tie optional, so all the groomsmen will be wearing tuxedos that match (vaguely) my own, which is simply black and white with a long black tie and no vest or cumberbun. If you have your own tuxedo and it is black and simple, thats great, you should use that. Just make sure to get a black tie (standard tie, not a bowtie) and a white shirt.
If you do not own a tuxedo, I have reserved tuxedos for rental at the mens wearhouse. The style of tuxedo we reserved is very simple, the rental includes the jacket, pants, black tie (long standard tie, not a bowtie), white shirt, cufflinks and shoes (although if you have your own appropriate black shoes to wear then you can wear those). We are not getting cumberbuns or vests or socks (you have to provide your own black socks). The total cost of each tux rental should be around 111$.
When you go to get your measurements and reserve your tux at the local mens wearhouse, the group name is the Gaskill/Buchman wedding and if for some reason they ask you for the group number, its 1988923. As for the rental dates, our wedding is May 31st of this year, and I encourage you to do your fitting early. If you have not gotten your fitting done by may 17th, they will charge you an extra 20$ rush fee. Also, because our wedding is around prom season, you might think about doing the fitting earlier because if you do the fitting in may there will be tons of high schoolers getting tuxes and the wait might be very long.
