Your Tux
The week before your wedding, pop into the tux shop and double-check that they have the right information on file. Don't take an employee's word for it; ask him or her to point out to you which tux they have you down for (hopefully, you'll remember which one you chose), and how many they'll have ready for pickup.
If you're planning on having six guys wear tuxedos and the shop only has five in their computer, something's amiss. They've either misplaced someone's measurements or one of your pals hasn't been measured yet. (What he's waiting for is anyone's guess.) Don't fret -- yet. This is exactly the reason why you're doing this last-minute check.
Unfortunately, you'll probably be instructed to pick up your tux the night before the wedding -- or possibly two nights before. This doesn't do much for alleviating your stress; a groom's gotta do what a groom's gotta do.
Even though the tux shop might be in a total frenzy (especially if you're getting married in the summer months -- you'll be competing for space with a bevy of other grooms), remember that the tux shop employees are there for you -- even if they don't seem particularly happy about it at the moment.
