The Groom's Room

What If One of My Groomsmen Can't Afford His Suit?

Handle this sensitively and privately.

 

Everyone’s financial circumstances are different, and you may not know what’s happening behind the scenes. If you’re asking your wedding party to pay for their own suits, make it easy for someone to speak to you privately if the cost is difficult.

 

You could cover that person’s suit privately, contribute towards it, choose a less expensive option for everybody or adjust how the overall costs are divided.

 

What we’d avoid is creating a situation where somebody feels embarrassed in front of the group.

Being part of your wedding should feel like an honour, not a financial test.
