Wedding Party Packages
Groom's suit free with 5 or more groomsmen. Outfit the whole wedding party at New York Man Suits: matched suits or tuxedos, fitted together in one of our two Staten Island stores by our in-house tailors, with alterations included.
How the package works
Five or more groomsmen buy their suits or tuxedos from us and the groom's suit is free. The suits do not have to be identical. Most parties pick one color and one fabric and let each man choose slim or modern fit, or put the groom in a different cut (a three-piece or a double-breasted, for example) in the same color. Shirts, ties, bow ties and shoes added to a suit get the bundle discount automatically at checkout.
The most popular starting point is the Italian Designer 2-piece suit, $179.99 each in 24 colors, 36 Short to 56 Long (Navy runs to 64 Long). Buy them as any 3 for $399.99 and a party of six pays $799.98 for the suits. Parties that want vests choose from 206 3-piece suits (see 3-piece under $300), popular colors are grouped as navy and burgundy, and black-tie weddings use our tuxedo collection or rentals.
Buying versus renting
At our prices a groomsman keeps a suit for about what a rental costs elsewhere, and he owns it afterwards. We also rent, through Jim's Formal Wear, 32 designer tuxedo and suit styles including Michael Kors, Ike Behar and Allure Men. Rentals are measured here, a 50 percent deposit books the order, and the whole party can be coordinated even when some men are out of state. If you want the groom in a bought suit and the party in rentals, we do that too.
Timeline
- Eight to twelve weeks out: the groom (and anyone who wants to help decide) comes in, tries on colors and fits, and we hold the style for the party.
- Six to eight weeks out: local groomsmen are measured and fitted. Rentals should be ordered by now; two months ahead is the comfortable window for a rental party.
- Four weeks out: out-of-town groomsmen order online in their size (see the size guide). Exchanges are accepted within 14 days of delivery, so there is time to swap a size.
- One to two weeks out: final fittings and alterations. Hems, sleeves and waists on suits bought from us are done in house at no charge.
Short on time? Come in anyway. Suits in stock can be fitted and altered inside a week when the date demands it.
Where to come
Both Staten Island stores take wedding parties seven days a week: 2670 Hylan Blvd (718-668-6822) and 1756 Forest Ave (718-494-7977), Monday to Saturday 10:30am to 7:30pm and Sunday 10:30am to 6:00pm. Call the store or use the form below with the wedding date, head count and the colors you are considering, and we will hold a fitter for the group. For what to wear, read our wedding suit guide.
Wedding party questions
Does the groom's suit have to match the groomsmen?
No. The free suit is any suit on the floor. Most grooms stay in the party's color and change the cut or add a vest so they stand out in photos.
Can groomsmen wear suits instead of tuxedos?
Yes, and most parties do. A navy, charcoal or burgundy suit with matching ties reads as formal as a tuxedo for anything short of a black-tie invitation, and each man keeps a suit he will wear again.
What if a groomsman lives out of state?
He orders the same suit online in his size. Shipping is free over $99, orders leave within one to three business days, and he can exchange within 14 days of delivery. Have him measured by any tailor and use our size guide to pick the size.
Are alterations included?
Yes, in store. Any suit bought from us is altered by our tailors at no charge at either Staten Island store. Suits shipped out of town are altered locally at the groomsman's expense.
How far ahead should we come in?
Two to three months for a rental party, six to eight weeks for a party buying suits. We can move faster with in-stock suits if the wedding is sooner.
Do you do boys' sizes for ring bearers?
Yes. Boys' suits run from size 4 to 20 in navy, black, white and grey, including husky sizes, so the ring bearer can match the party.
How is the free groom's suit applied?
In store, at the register, once five groomsmen's suits are on the same party order. For online parties, email Support@nymsuits.com with the order numbers and we refund the groom's suit.
