Rental Terms & Agreement
Following are the terms and conditions for suit and tuxedo rentals. The terms include helpful information as well as formal wear return guidelines.
Rental Terms & Agreement
Delivery Agreement
Most orders ship via major delivery carriers such as UPS. Once your formal wear ships, an email with an estimated arrival time is sent. When formal wear boxes arrive, the package is your financial responsibility, and someone must be available to accept delivery of the formal wear units at the selected delivery location to prevent theft. Orders that cannot be delivered and then returned to the warehouse are subject to an additional re-shipping fee on your contract.
Note: The exact timing of deliveries can be affected by weather or other factors outside the carrier’s control.
Formal Wear Reservation
Reserving your wedding party order is the first step in assuring you have formal wear for your wedding day. Setting up an order through The Wedding Planners or e-Tux requires a one-time non-refundable fee of $99. The funds will assist payment for delivery to your doorstep, reorders if needed, and Monday’s return to the formal wear warehouse unless Monday is a legal holiday, then the Tuesday morning after.
Furthermore, the reservation fee serves to register your order and is non-refundable in the event of a wedding cancellation or if you decide to cancel your formal wear order. However, we understand that plans can change, so you have the flexibility to switch your wedding date once, provided you give us a 30-day notice.
Note: Additional fees apply to each late-returned item. When receiving the order, each item is barcoded and tracked back into the warehouse. You will know who wore the item that was not returned.
Refund & Cancelation Policy
Suit or Tux payments are due when the attendant submits their measurements to The Wedding Planners. Attendant cancellations are accepted up to 16 days before the wedding date for a full refund. Cancellations within 13-15 days of the wedding date receive up to a 50% refund. Refunds are not eligible for 12 days up to the wedding date. If a formal wear unit is canceled, this may affect the groom receiving a free suit or a free rental. Free suits are shipped once the entire wedding party has been measured and paid.
Measurement Policy
Make sure your attendant is aware of their sizes and not guessing. Each attendant should be professionally measured or watch our video instructions. Our online service will do everything possible to ensure all attendants receive notifications. Our formal wear system will send you and your attendants email reminders to get fitted and send in their measurements and payments. We must get a current and correct email address for all attendees. All measurements and payments must be placed 6-weeks before the wedding. Wedding party orders are only submitted once all measurements are received. Due to high seasonal demand, this could force a change in color accessories or even a change in suit style if members of your wedding party are past the 6-week deadline.

Returning Formal Wear
