Hi! On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Garen Palmer and you're at Ritz Tuxedo Rental. In this segment, we're going to talk about how soon before your occasion should you come in and get your wedding set up. A good rule of thumb for that for a wedding is about 2 months in advance. What you need to do is get your calendar, mark your wedding, back up a couple months, and mark it saying this is time to get started. Another good option is find you a wedding planner of some sort. Usually in there there will be calendar type pages where you can mark what you need to do and it tells you how soon before you should do each thing. That way you have it in your hand and you can carry it around with you and check things off as you get them done. 2 months is a good idea for weddings because it takes some time for everyone to come in, get fitted after you've come in. They might live out of town and they need to send those measurements to you. That takes some time. 2 months is a good idea. For high school dances, you might want to do it at least a week before, especially if it's a place that has to order in your tuxedos. A week or 2 is great. Find out the dress color your date's wearing and come in.
