Should I Order My Dress and Tux Early?

 Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking things you can ever experience. There's so much to think about - the guest list, the venue, the flowers, the catering, the music, and of course, the wedding dress and tux, and while it may seems like you have all the time in the world to order your wedding attire, the truth is, time flies by faster than you think. That's why I'm here to give you some comical and horror-filled reasons why you should order your wedding dress and tux early.

 The first reason why you should order your wedding dress and tux early is to avoid any potential disasters. Imagine this - you've picked out the perfect dress or tux, you've got your heart set on it, and you've waited until the last minute to order it. Then, the unthinkable happens - your size is sold out, or the dress or tux is back-ordered, or it arrives with the wrong measurements. Suddenly, you're left scrambling to find something else that fits and looks good. Trust me; this is not the way you want to start your wedding planning process.

 One horror story that comes to mind is that of a bride who waited until the last minute to order her dress. She had found the perfect dress online and was convinced that it would be a perfect fit. However, when the dress arrived, it was clear that it was not the right size. She had to scramble to find a seamstress who could make alterations to the dress in time for her wedding, which added a significant amount of stress to an already stressful situation. Moral of the story? Don't be like this bride; order your dress or tux early.

 The second reason why you should order your wedding dress and tux early is to ensure that you have enough time for alterations. Even if you order your dress or tux in the correct size, it's unlikely to fit perfectly right out of the box. Alterations are a necessary part of the wedding planning process, and they can take time. If you wait until the last minute to order your dress or tux, you may not have enough time for alterations, which can lead to an ill-fitting outfit on your big day.

 I once heard a story about a groom who ordered his tux at the last minute and didn't leave enough time for alterations. On the day of the wedding, his tux was too tight, and he could barely move his arms. Not only was he uncomfortable throughout the entire ceremony and reception, but he also looked ridiculous in all of the photos. So, if you want to avoid being that guy, make sure to order your wedding dress or tux early and leave enough time for alterations.

 The third reason why you should order your wedding dress and tux early is to avoid the stress of last-minute shopping. Let's face it - wedding planning can be stressful enough without having to worry about your attire at the last minute. If you wait until the last minute to order your dress or tux, you'll likely have to rush around to find something that fits and looks good. This can add unnecessary stress to an already stressful situation.

I remember a friend of mine who waited until the last minute to order her dress. She thought she had plenty of time, but when the dress arrived, it didn't fit. She had to rush around to find something else, and she ended up settling for a dress that she didn't love. She spent the rest of the wedding day feeling self-conscious and wishing she had ordered her dress earlier. Don't be like my friend; order your dress or tux early to avoid the stress of last-minute shopping.
