One of the most challenging things we are dealing with at the moment is finding appropriate attire for the groomsmen. Our entire vision of the wedding is a relaxed, cozy, fun and happy event. We don't want people to feel like they need to go all out and dress to the nines. Dress as you normally would in whatever way makes you feel special.

We also feel this way about the wedding party. While I think I found a dress that looks adorable and classy on the ladies, Jared nor I like the idea of tuxes. They just don't seem appropriate for what we are going for that day. That's not to say they aren't great looking, it's just not "us." That said, it's rather hard to find suits to rent. In fact, it's nearly impossible.

So, just throwing this out there, but has anyone dealt with this issue before? We have come to a decision ( I think), but I am curious to see how other couples have dealt with this? If you don't want the men to wear tuxes, what other options did you have?  Was it more expensive? Do tell (6 or so loyal readers, hehe).
