s/o weddings- ring bearer? apparel

[hubes]

Apparently DS is in BIL's wedding in August. FSIL doesn't care what he wears. Groomsmen will be in black tuxes. Colors are turquioise and yellow.

What should I dress him in? I'm not spending more than $50 on the enitre outfit, including shoes.

How old is your DS?

Personally, I would put him in a nice pair of black slacks, a dress shirt to match the colors (maybe the same color shirts as the groomsmen) and a cute bow-tie!

[hubes]

He's two.

The BMs are wearing cowboy boots. I thought about getting him a pair of boots, and some black pants... Maybe a cute yellow shirt and a bow tie?

This sounds adorable! maybe you can find a teal bow tie?

Ah-ha! DH's bff just got married and bff's nephew is almost two and was dressed in a super adorable outfit- black pants, a black vest.. I just messaged her to see where she found it! I'll just kind of copy it, only with a different shirt and tie.

Awesome. Maybe she'll lend it to me (we can hope, right?)

Hoobs! I can make you a bow tie!

[hubes]

Really? That'd be awesome!

[cbwm1]

Yep.

If you find the right color fabric, just get it in the mail to me ASAP and I can whip something up very quickly.

I do have pale yellow (see my FB and what Will wore at my cousin's wedding), but IDK if you want that or the turquoise/teal color.

ETA: Or, if she's doing a brighter yellow, the stuff I have won't work.

We got my nephew a cute little kids tuxedo on amazon for $30 when he was my ring bearer (he was a year and a half and in maybe a 2T). We looked into a lot of options and it was the cheapest because it came with the pants, jacket, shirt, vest, and tie for $30.

I just sent her a message asking her the exact names so I can find something. I'll let you know if I come up with something this week yet! Thanks!

[cbwm1]

Okay, cool!

And IDK how close you are to a Hobby Lobby or JoAnne's - so if you get me pictures of the bridesmaids dresses or something, I can run and get the fabric here since we've got both (as well as Hancock) in our city.

[hubes]

Okay, so she said the color is lagoon. What I am thinking is that I could just order the fabric online and send it to you?

What sort of fabric will work best?

[hubes]

Okay, just heard back. GM are in teal (lagoon) vests and yellow ties. Groom is in ivory (which she said was an option). Is it going to be easier to find a teal shirt and do a yellow tie, or vice versa?

He could dress like my super cute nephew!!!

I love the idea of cowboy boots!

My nephew was all excited when he was three to be the ring bearer in a wedding; couldn't wait, did the rehearsal just great. Then the day of the wedding, he pitched a complete screaming, kicking, wailing fit because they tried to put him in a little tux and he wanted to know where his bear outfit was. Because he was the ring bear.

He threw the pillow down the aisle. It was hysterical.

He doesn't even know. I just found out on Sunday that he was for real going to be in it.

He did not want to "practice" and then was excited too afterwards. They are expecting him to walk down with a one-year-old girl, in front of a bunch of people he doesn't know. I hope that it works out.

I'm not saying anything though, I won't be there for the fall out, so whatever.

Hoobs, bribe the shit out of him. That's what we did with Will a couple weeks ago. We talked up a REALLY BIG SURPRISE that he would get, but *only* if he did his special job. Worked like a charm!

Also, I guess look to see what kind of shirt you can find, then get the opposite color of fabric for a tie.

I used a calico for Will's tie - it's a pretty sturdy cotton. Granted, their wedding was pretty casual.

I like the idea of black pants/shoes and the shirt matching one of the colors mentioned. Bowtie would be sweet!

[WOT?*]

I like yellow shirt/teal tie but if they're going to be in teal vests/yellow ties he should maybe opt into that combo. Or if you're going to have the tie made how about a pattern with both colors in it?

I got a toddler suit for $45 on amazon. Tiny boys in suits are adorable. Do eet!

[WOT?*]

I got GS2 dress pants, purple shirt, striped tie and vest. DD1 picked it out for her wedding. It was $25 at JCP. Boys in suits are darn adorable.

I had a blue striped seersucker shorts and jacket combo for DS1 when he was that age. I'm a sucker on occasion too NC.
