We generally recommend arranging groomsmen fittings around 2–3 months before the wedding.

This is close enough to the wedding that measurements are likely to remain representative, while still leaving enough time to organise the whole party.

If you have a large wedding party, start arranging dates in advance. Children and younger page boys may be measured later because they can grow significantly before the wedding.

When Are My Groomsmen (or Groomswomen) Measured?

They are usually measured after the main outfit has been selected. The measurements allow the suit company to reserve the appropriate sizes and make any necessary adjustments closer to the wedding.

When Should Page Boys Be Measured for Their Wedding Suits?

Page boys can be measured closer to the wedding because children can grow quickly. Your suit provider should advise on the best timing based on the child’s age, growth and the type of hire outfit.
