$116 For My Son's Tux Rental!
 

Holy fuck I am in the wrong business. My 3 year old is going to be the ring boy for our cousin so it's all good but damn I guess it's been a while since I rented a monkey suit. I honestly don't remember it being that much. The lady at the store reminded us about 3 times that if it wasn't returned the next day it would be 20 bucks per day extra.

I was tempted to just buy him a tux but I know he will never wear it again, lol...

Caaaarazy!

Mine was $100 for my prom. I went white even though the theme was black. That was back in 94.

I guess it's been a while since I rented... lol

My prom was in '89. I have no clue what I paid... When I got married I just showed up and tried the thing on. I had nothing to do with the planning.

The last time I rented a tux it was more then that. When I returned it the pants were ripped, the vest and shirt were stained with beer and champagne and the cuff links and buttons were missing. So I have an idea why it's expensive.

how much were you expecting?

I had to rent tuxedos a couple of times (when traveling without mie and had to attend some formal party) and always paid around eur 130-150 (not in the US though)

You should have spent the money on a hooker, and told your cousin that you were broke - and that if he stills wants to exploit your tyke in a tux, for a one-off lousy wedding photo op, he'll have to pay for it himself... :2 cents:

It's actually the bride but yes you are right the fact that this is cutting into my hooker funds is upsetting.

Good to hear that you are coming to your senses - love, nor anything else (least of all the marriage of your cousin - unless you're marrying her), should ever come between you and cheap hookers! :thumbsup

should have made that shit out of duct tape and threw some D's on it.

fuck me that's expensive heh

this thread makes me want to listen to "I Killed The prom Queen"

Just buy him a decent black suit.

- Doesn't look as lame as a tux,
- Good for the occasion
- He can wear it a lot afterwards

I spent $150 the last time I rented a tux 4 years ago.

You could have bought him a nice suit for that much.

Pretty sure $100 range is average. I think it cost that in 1989 when my bf took me to the prom. :D

Mine was about $175 in 2000.... But it was pretty damn slick :)

wow too much

HAHAHAHAHAH! :1orglaugh

thats a lot for a tinny tux

Dude you got ripped. I am getting married next week my 4 year old is the ring bearer. We got him a top of the line light wool (outdoor wedding) Calvin Klien tux and shoes for $70 from presidential tuxedo.

No wonder they charged me so much for my tux for your wedding, they proably charged us extra to give your son a discount ;)


its ok Charlie your like a brother to me, i dont mind spending it :)

I'm going to be in my cousin's wedding later this summer and the tux they decided on is $150.

You would think the price would be pro-rated based upon the size

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

doesn't a suit for a kid cost $100 to buy ?

That's awesome.

That sounds about right.

Thats actually cheap you tight bastard. lol

Normally they are around 150

He's 3...it's not going to fit him long enough to get the moneys worth! :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

My 3 year old successfully walked down the aisle as the ring boy with his blankie in hand. In retrospect I would have paid $1000 for the suit to capture this moment.

An abortion would have only cost you a few hundred more.
