Renting a tuxedo can seem like a trivial task when preparing for a big event such as a wedding or a prom. After all you have many other areas to concentrate on in addition to the rental of your tuxedo.



I wrote this article to help you in your quest for the perfect tuxedo rental. This article will quickly explain what to do when shopping in a store or from your chair in an online store.

The first area to consider is whether you should rent locally or online. Local shops can be great for people living in urban or suburban areas, but not so great for people living in rural communities.

If you decide to go to a store, the first thing you should check is the wear and tear of tuxedos in the store. Remember that tuxedo rental companies are loaning out used tuxedos to all sorts of people and they will eventually go through some trauma. If the tuxedos appear beat up and excessively used, move on to another store.

Many tuxedo rental companies will require you to put a deposit down to ensure that you do not switch vendors after the decision has been made. It is usually a good idea to bring this money on day one to save you an extra visit.

Plan to get a final measurement for your tuxedo a week or two before your event. This tip is an invaluable tip for making sure that your tux fits comfortably on the day of your event.

Make sure to find out whether or not you will have to have the tuxedo cleaned and pressed before returning it. The cost of getting a tuxedo cleaned and pressed will drive up the cost of your tuxedo rental.

When renting online make sure to check out the shipping cost before you make your rental. This is another cost that will drive up your tuxedo rental cost. Sometimes its cheaper to rent from a company that charges more for the tux but provides free shipping.
