Groomsmen FAQ

This is a blatant copy of the parallel page Kate made for the bridal party.  It has been edited minimally with relavant information

Below you will find pertinent information about the weekend. You are by no means required to be at everything. For the things you can make it to, I would love to have you!

After researching about a dozen suit rental places with the style requested by Kate, because let’s be real she has the more important opinion on this, we determined that Menguin has the best price for the look we are after. The cost will be around $200 and includes shipping to your home address 2 weeks before the wedding and up to 3 days after to return. It is all online because it’s 2025, and we are modern people. We did not do sock rentals because each of you has a pair of novelty socks to wear. Use the following URL to sign up, or click on the picture (link) below.

Map

We live in a day of automobiles and long commutes. For planning purposes, I thought it would be good to give some locations with commute times between them for the purpose of planning accommodations.
