I'm on the hunt for tuxes for my boys for a family wedding this summer. It's a black tie wedding. Looking for black tuxes with bow ties. They'll be in 2T and 9-12m.
I've found plenty online but I'd rather get something that someone has seen IRL and can verify that it isn't crap.

Why not just rent? A quality tuxedo is not something I would buy for a one time use and for small kiddos that would outgrow them it seems a bit much. Do they rent them that small? I'm not opposed to that. I didn't think they did that though. I'll have to call the place we used for our wedding. It definitely is silly to spend $ for one time but it's my brother's wedding. It doesn't need to be super high quality I just don't want total crap. |

I had a hard time finding them in person, but I did shop Zulilly for my son's when he was in a wedding a few years. The quality was awesome and I was really happy with it. I can find the brand if you'd like, maybe you can find it elsewhere, like amazon?

It was the damn cutest! |

My mom already ordered that one! I just know Zulily takes a while to ship so I was afraid it would come like, the week before and be shit. I'm glad to hear you liked it! |

Kids are so cute and so messy. I don't think anyone will expect good quality. I know. It's just my preference. I ordered a similar type of outfit from Zulily once that was awful (like unwearable) so I just like to hear real life reviews. |

Call Foresto tuxedos in Mineola and see if they have your sizes. They are the best.

Yeah, it took us like a month from ordering to receiving, but we were really happy with the quality. If we ever have him in three weddings over 6 weeks again, I'd order a new one again. |

Are they in the wedding? Because otherwise my UO is that the smallest humans should be exempt from dress code requirements. I don't care how cute a tiny tuxedo is, I'm not spending that much money on something he'll wear once. I was going to say this. I would think If you could get your oldest in a pair of dress pants shirt and tie that should be acceptable. I think you're going to have a hard time finding a tux for the baby, you might get lucky for your oldest. |

Ah I see how this read now. No, it's not a dress code thing. Just what we're trying to do. Not a huge deal just looking to see if anyone had had luck. |

Not sure if you have a Burlington Coat Factory near you, but the last time I was in one they had a ton of toddler sized suits. Also I've seen them at Costco!

Get a grip, me. Edit - I'm just kidding. the words are hard today. I blame the baby. |
