So you’re dating someone new and you’re about to spend your first Valentine’s Day together. While this holiday may center around love and excitement, Valentine’s Day can also bring up feelings of anxiety for some. This can be especially true if you’re celebrating as a new couple because there’s no precedent of what you did the year before. So you’re left to figure out Valentine’s Day plans for the first time.

Thoughts may begin racing through your head, such as 

Should I get a gift? If so, how expensive? Do they expect me to pull out all the stops? Do they even 

 Well, we’re here to quell this internal monologue and help you navigate the Valentine’s Day waters with ease. In this blog, we’ll discuss first Valentine’s Day ideas for you and that sweet person in your life.

First things first, make sure that your partner actually 

 to celebrate Valentine’s Day. You may wonder who would want to pass up an opportunity to receive gourmet chocolates and go to a candlelit dinner, but you may be surprised. Some people really don’t enjoy celebrating Valentine’s Day for personal reasons. If you were planning to surprise your date, you may want to check in first or drop a few hints.

The best way to know what your special someone thinks of Valentine’s Day is to ask them. Maybe they totally dig the idea of doing something romantic, or perhaps they want to celebrate with a twist on it. Say, for example, your date is an outdoorsy person. Maybe their perfect idea of a romantic date is to go on a hike and have a picnic atop a scenic view overlooking the city. Or maybe your date enjoys going out to a

 with a tasting menu, a bottle of wine, and dessert for two. It’s best to get this question out as early as possible so you can start to plan the perfect date (or so you can stop worrying about celebrating at all!).

So your date is on board with Valentine’s Day and it’s full speed ahead for planning. Yay! Now comes the actual planning. It’s easy for anyone to get carried away when 

 in our lives. Also, Valentine’s Day is notorious for hiking up prices for rose and floral bouquets, bottles of wine, and even dinner prices at restaurants where you’ve definitely eaten for a lot less.

Before you make reservations and order a dozen red roses, make sure you’ve set a budget. This can be related the conversation you had in Tip #1, which is about setting expectations.

If your date expects a five-course meal at the hottest restaurant in town, then make sure you’re budgeting for that ahead of time (and make a reservation). By creating a budget, you can avoid any creeping costs that you didn’t anticipate, like chocolates, cards, Uber rides from the restaurants, or last-minute swan boat rides on the water. Who knows, you may actually impress your date with your financial planning!

Dating someone you’re excited about can be a great opportunity to be super romantic. After all, love is in the air on Valentine’s Day - don’t hold back!

Going out to dinner can be romantic and fun but when it comes to romance, a home cooked meal can go a long way! You can set the scene as romantic as you’d like! You can dim the lights and set out tea candles to create romantic lighting. Pick up your favorite bottle of wine (ask your date if they like reds or if they’re more of a rose person). Make sure to pick up something for dessert, such as chocolate-dipped strawberries.

If you’re not much of a chef, you can also get your date a gift. Classic gift ideas include roses, plush toys, a framed picture of you two together, and chocolates. Make sure to include a handwritten card with your gift!

Lucille Ball once said, “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.” Our relationships with ourselves set the groundwork for our romantic success with others. So, even though Valentine’s Day can be focused on celebrating romantic love as a couple, make sure to celebrate self-love as well! After all, you’ve made yourself vulnerable enough to accept love, so make sure you celebrate that part of you that’s still a lover.

Something nice you can do for yourself is to get 

 on the date. This is a double-win situation because not only will you look nice and impress your date, you’ll also be able to wear this outfit again. So make sure you pick something that makes you feel like a million bucks! You are your personal cheerleader 365 days of the year, so make sure you treat yourself too.

Making plans to celebrate your first Valentine’s Day together can be daunting for even the most seasoned couples. So we’re here to remind you that it’s okay to relax. Your date’s teddy bear has a purple bow instead of pink (their favorite color) - oh well! Laugh it off and enjoy that this journey is still new for the both of you. After all, you two are just getting to know each other. Embrace the mistakes, laugh off the easy stuff.

 as a couple, make sure to enjoy it. Take pictures (a silly one is a must) so you can remember this day. Who knows, maybe someday you’ll be looking back on these pictures together!

Tips for Celebrating Your First Valentine's Day Together

From the invites to the flowers, the theme you choose for your wedding will inform every facet of your big day. And one of the most popular themes in recent years is a bohemian (boho) wedding. With many couples getting married outdoors boho served as a perfect theme.  It celebrates and incorporates all the beauty that nature has to offer.

And even now, with couples ready to start having larger affairs, many are still choosing a boho theme. In fact, according to a 2022 poll from Zola, 17 percent of respondents planning their vows are going for a boho vibe. Interested in learning more about throwing a boho wedding? You’re in luck—we’ve compiled everything you need to know about this creative and popular trend.

The definition of a bohemian is “a socially unconventional person, especially one who is involved in the arts.” So it makes sense that couples who choose a boho theme aren’t afraid to step outside of the box. When it comes to planning your wedding day, you can still have all the traditional elements. The Key is putting your own unique and whimsical twist on the ceremony and reception. Boho weddings are all about freedom of expression, so feel free to get as creative as possible. Choose the things you both love to make this special day your own!

A boho wedding has an earthy and rural vibe with an emphasis on being eco-friendly. Couples utilizing this theme will take much of their inspiration from nature. When putting together this type of event, less is definitely more, especially when choosing flowers, décor, and design elements. You don’t have to put so much pressure to come up with a bold color scheme. Let your surroundings be your guide and inspire the entire day.

While there is definitely a “look” to a boho wedding, couples can tweak the theme to fit their own preferences. Some ideas include boho vintage, boho chic, boho beach, and even a boho gothic theme. Since bohemian is all about individuality, couples can pair it with anything.

The less is more vibe that goes along with the boho theme also makes great for couples who don’t want to go over budget. By utilizing the venue's natural surroundings for the inspiration of the event’s color palette and décor, there is no need to spend a lot. Especially when it comes to florals and other decorative elements.

Also, boho couples often lean towards DIY to make their wedding day their own. This can also result in some major cost savings during the planning process.

Not sure where to start when it comes to planning a boho wedding? Here are some easy ideas to get you started. But remember, boho is all about individuality, so don’t be afraid to add your own twist on any and all these tips.

Find a unique venue. Couples should look for special settings where they will be surrounded by nature. Think of a gorgeous garden, an old farm, a wooded forest, or a secluded beach, for example. Choosing an unexpected location will help set up the bohemian vibe.  It will also set the tone for everything else—music, attire, food, and flowers—that comprise your big day.

Inform your guests. The wedding invitation is the first glimpse your guests will have of your big day. Showcase the boho theme with an invite in a fun shape and a nature-inspired design.

Keep it local. Being environmentally friendly is a major part of throwing a boho wedding. It's best to get all your wedding day items (food and flowers etc.) from local vendors and businesses.

Create the altar. Boho weddings call for more creativity when it comes to designing the altar space. Wooden altars with floral detailing or dreamcatchers surrounded by wildflowers are popular options. And don’t forget about the lead-up to the ceremony space. For that, you can create an aisle with a boho vibe through a variety of mix and match rugs.

Dress the part. The happy couple will want to showcase their bohemian theme through their attire. Brides should consider flowy dresses in wispy fabrics. And they can complete the look with a floral crown or jeweled headpiece. Grooms will want to stay away from ultra-formal looks. Instead opt for a suit in colors such as Indigo Blue, Mystic Blue, or Bright Blue. Or you can go in a different direction and go with a more neutral suit. Think British Tan, Cement Gray, or Allure Light Gray. Then add pops of color through your accessories. Include colorful ties and socks to bring together the entire boho look.

Pick seasonal blooms. For a boho wedding, select flowers that look like they have been freshly picked. Since you want to stay true to nature, stick with seasonal flowers that can be found at local markets. Bouquets and boutonnieres should lean towards more unstructured designs. This gives them a more natural look. Consider flowers like hydrangeas, freesias, larkspur, peonies, lilacs, and eucalyptus. Also, don't be affairs to inculed garden roses or wildflowers.

Set up some succulents. These plants are a pretty—and eco-friendly—option instead floral centerpieces. You can even have guests take them home as wedding favors at the end of the night.

Stray from the norm. Don’t feel the need to match all the various elements that make up your day. While they should complement one another, don’t be afraid to use a mixture of textures and colors. Chang it up with your place settings, centerpiece holders, lanterns, and lounge spaces. A great place to look is local flea markets and thrift stores.

Add some drapery. Boho weddings are the perfect time to hang drapery. Use a variety of textures and fabrics to give your décor a dreamy look.

Get creative with your menu. Every facet of the wedding day should be inspired by your theme. This includes the food served during the cocktail hour and reception. For a boho wedding, you might want to skip the plated dinner. Instead do a combination of family-style offerings and food stations. It offers a more laid-back approach, but your guests will still be enjoying delicious food.

Go simple with the cake. A naked cake was synonymous with bohemian weddings. But, you don’t have to forgo decorations on your cake if that is what you prefer. Just keep it simple, topping the cake with dried greenery. Think bleached Italian Ruscus, a fan palm, and dried eucalyptus.

Light some candles. Arranging lots of lit candles around your venue space makes for an earthy, bohemian feel. To keep everyone safe and reduce waste, opt for LED-operated candles that can be used again.

Stick with candid shots. Allow your photographer to get creative during the wedding day. While you’ll want some traditional poses, ask your photographer to also take lots of candid shots.

Choose casual seating. Instead of assigned seating, let guests choose where they want to sit. You can also opt for lounge-type seating. Try setting up vintage upholstered chairs and sofas to create an eclectic but homey vibe.

Everything You Need to Know about Boho Weddings

You've found the one, and now you're ready to ask the most important question of your life: Will you marry me? Of course, you want this to be memorable for the right reasons. And that means you've got to do some planning ahead of time. From selecting the engagement ring to figuring out what to wear, we've come up with a guide to help you put together the perfect marriage proposal.

The first step in proposal planning is buying an engagement ring. It is a big investment, so the first thing you should do before starting the search is set a

. The guidance that you should prepare to spend two months of your salary is outdated and unrealistic. The truth is you and your future spouse will have a lot to plan for once you get engaged. This includes paying for the wedding, saving up for the honeymoon, and even deciding to buy a house. Don't start your marriage in debt because you went overboard on the perfect ring.

Another essential thing to keep in mind is your 

. You may have discovered what kind of ring they want. If you haven't asked yet, check with one of their trusted friends or family members for guidance. They likely have some great ideas on the stone shape, metal type, etc. Also, don't forget to get the correct ring size.

The next item in your proposal planner should be to pick the where and when to ask the big question. A marriage proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime event. You both will remember it for the rest of your lives, so it goes without saying that you want your proposal special. 

Think about the things you like to do as a couple.

 Are you both nature lovers, or would you both be happier indoors? Do you love to travel, or are you more comfortable in the comfort of your own home?

. Not everyone wants a public proposal and would prefer it to be a more intimate moment.

Marriage proposals run the gamut these days. If you're feeling the pressure to find the perfect way to ask the question, you are not alone. Creating a unique proposal can be tricky. But coming up with an original proposal idea will make your partner feel like it was truly designed for them. Some of the best proposal ideas come from another idea then tailoring it to fit you and your partner. If you need some inspiration, here are a few creative marriage proposal ideas to get those juices flowing:

 Send your loved one to different locations that have played a part in your relationship. Where you met, your first date, your first kiss, etc., are a few places to consider. Then, they will find you ready to pop the question at the end.

. Your first date is where your journey together began, so why not recreate that special moment for your marriage proposal?

Hire a professional photographer to take photos for your anniversary, one of your birthdays, or for the holidays. Then when you get down on one knee, the photographer will be able to capture the surprise proposal!

. Surprise your love with a last-minute trip to one of your favorite places.

 If going away for an entire weekend isn't possible, rent a hotel room for the night and ask the staff or a friend who can keep a secret to decorate the room.

Once you've chosen the ring, along with where and when it will happen, it's time to figure out what you're going to wear to your proposal. Some things to keep in mind:

. Whether you're poping the question outdoors or inside will play a big factor in what you wear. But keep in mind that an outside marriage proposal, such as a picnic in the park, doesn't mean you can't look amazing. Go with a lighter-colored suit instead of a darker one for a more formal look. Consider something like a 

. If you're opting for an adventurous proposal, such as rock climbing or sky diving, then you obviously don't want to get too dressed up. But you can always change into more formal attire for a celebratory dinner later on.

. No matter how you decide to propose, you want to feel comfortable doing it. Be sure to dress for the elements and make sure that the ensemble you choose fits you. If you're wearing a suit, Generation Tux offers a Free Home Try-on so you can feel and look your best before asking the big question.

The holiday season is a great time to propose. After all, it's such a festive time; why not add to the happiness? But you should take these factors into consideration:

If you don't think they will like being proposed to in front of your families, then be sure to pop the question in private. You can always celebrate with your loved ones later on.

Please don't propose outside. It might be tempting to get down on one knee in a winter wonderland, but you don't want to risk dropping the ring in the snow. The cold air might make it harder to hold onto it and slip it on your partner's finger.

Do take advantage of holiday décor. Find a place that is all decked out for the holidays-it makes the perfect backdrop for your proposal.

Don't overtake the holiday. Of course, your friends and family will be happy and excited for you. But that doesn't mean that everyone's holiday needs to be about you and your future spouse.

Do be respectful of traditions. You don't want your proposal to infringe on any traditions important to your partner's family. With that in mind, you might want to talk to a family member during the planning process-just make sure they don't ruin the surprise!

In addition to the holidays, you may also want to avoid your partner's birthday or your anniversary. They already have their special moments.

Planning The Perfect Proposal

The holidays are the official start of proposal season, which isn’t surprising since it’s such a festive and fun time to pop the question. If you’re thinking of getting down on one knee soon, you’ll want to give your significant other a moment to remember. With that in mind, check out these 10 things you definitely want to skip when planning the perfect proposal.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when proposing is doing so with an empty ring box. Even if you cannot afford the ring of her dreams right now, you should still have something to slip on her finger when she says “yes!” Trust us, once you start to share the news with family and friends, their biggest question will be “Can we see the ring?!”

In an effort to make the proposal special, you might want to plan something out-of-the-box. That’s great but you’re better off keeping it within reason. Skydiving, parasailing or scuba diving can all be fun activities, but it’s hard to really be in the moment if you’re worried about safety issues.

On the other hand, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, so you want to have a clear idea of how you’re going to pull this off. Do some research and make reservations if needed.

When you start to plan, ask yourself what would 

 really love to do, and take their personality into consideration. For example, if they are on the quiet side, a flash mob or billboard proposal probably wouldn’t be their thing. Not sure where to start? Consult with their best friend, sibling, or even parents—just be sure they know to keep it a secret!

While you might have no doubt she’s going to say yes, this is still a special moment between the two of you, so unless you know for a fact that she would want friends and family around, plan for a private proposal. If you really want to celebrate with loved ones, plan a get-together for afterward.

Sure putting the ring in a glass of champagne or her dessert seems like a cute idea, but it’s also an easy way to lose a precious piece of jewelry or (even worse) require a trip to the emergency room.

Why not have your proposal be on its own special date? With that in mind, skip doing it exactly on Christmas, Valentine’s Day or your bride-to-be’s birthday. Instead, pop the question around those dates if you want to do it around the holidays.

The words don’t always flow freely for everyone—especially when nerves are involved. Think about what you’re going to say to make this event truly special, and if you need to write it down, go for it. The letter can be a sweet memento cherished for years to come.

You don’t have to hire a professional, but at least ask a friend to snap some photos or take video of the big moment.

This is a special occasion, so no matter what you choose to do, you want to look your best when you pop the question. You might want to look into renting a dashing 

 to really up the wow factor on this memorable occasion. View our 

10 Don’ts When Proposing to Your Partner

Engagement season is officially here, and that means many guys are busy preparing for one of the biggest moments of their lives. Once you’ve chosen the ring—along with when it will happen and where—it’s time to figure out what you’re going to wear.

These tips should help guide you to your final decision. And of course, you’ll want to browse through our selection of 

Where you decide to pop the question will determine what you wear. If you’re proposing in a five-star restaurant, you cannot go wrong with a suit in 

. An outdoor proposal—like a picnic at the park—calls for a lighter look, such as cement gray or British tan.

It’s so important to choose a suit that fits you perfectly when you get down on one knee. In fact, you might want to practice doing just that in the suit before the main event. Luckily, Generation Tux offers a 

 so you can make sure you feel and look your best before this special event.

Many grooms are asking a friend or even hiring a photographer to snap pictures of the big moment. With that in mind, take a close at your suit to ensure that it is picture perfect. That means no wrinkles or stains—and that it fits you as it should.

Generation Tux’s innovative fit technology allows you to find your suit or tux fit from the comfort of your own home by answering a few short questions on our website.

One key reason to choose a suit for your proposal: The jacket ensures that you will have a safe place to store the ring.

Of course, the weather in your area should also be taken into consideration. Think about adding layers in a colder climate, such as putting on a vest with your suit. All of Generation Tux’s suits are made of 100% Super 130’s Merino Wool so you’ll stay warm and feel comfortable. And even if you’re in a warmer climate, remember you can always remove your jacket if you’re feeling stuffy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so choose the right accessories to complete your look. Why not select a tie in your bride-to-be’s favorite color and pair it with a matching pocket square? If you’re going out for a night on the town, pick shoes that match with your suit and don’t forget about a great pair of socks, too.

It goes without saying that you should be well-groomed at the proposal. Get a haircut, do some winding down, and indulge in some self-care. Once she says yes, she might want to take some photos of the ring with your hand in the picture, so don’t forget to trim those fingernails.

Ideas, Tips, and Hacks for the Soon-to-be Engaged

So, you’re thinking about popping the question. (Congratulations!)

Proposing to your partner is a big deal—and like most big life events, there’s a lot of pressure to get everything just right. Over our years in the wedding suit and tuxedo rental industry, we’ve heard about some pretty amazing marriage proposal ideas. We’ve created a list of some of our favorite stories, so hopefully they will provide you with some inspiration as you plan your own big moment.

We’ve listed 25 proposal ideas that range from simple to over-the-top. As you start to plan your own proposal, you will find that there are a lot of ways to make your big moment your own. Songs, landmarks, sentimental items, inside jokes— these can all be incorporated into your proposal experience. No matter what details you choose to include, your proposal will be unique to you and your partner, even if you’re drawing inspiration from other couples.

Pay homage to the special spot where you and your partner got your first glimpses of each other by proposing where you met. This spot may be on the street outside of your apartment, a now-closed bar, the elevator of your previous job— the place may differ from couple to couple, but the energy in that space remains the same. Launching the next step in your journey where it all began is a beautiful way to make your proposal a sentimental, life-long memory.

Do you and your partner love to get competitive? Whether you enjoy playing video games or placing bets, if you love competition you can turn your proposal into a game, one that ends in a nice ring and life-long commitment. Of course, this should probably be the one time you let your partner win.

Do you love the ocean? Crave those soaring mountain views? A great way to pop the question is to find a picturesque location and let nature provide the backdrop for your big moment.

This is one of our favorite simple proposal ideas. Food is closely tied to memory and feeling, so whether your partner is a fiend for cheese curls, cookie dough ice cream, or tonkotsu ramen, buy them their favorite guilty pleasure, and stow your engagement ring somewhere they’ll find it— atop a sundae, taped inside the chip packet, or wrapped around a pair of takeout chopsticks. For an extra touch, have some champagne on ice so that you can toast to your future after they say yes.

Flash mob proposals are not for the shy couple, as it will certainly get heads turning! For a couple that shines in the spotlight, a flash mob is a fun and exciting way to propose. Search the web for a local flash mob group in your area, or get your friends and family in on the act. Oh, and don’t forget, you’re going to want to make sure that your bestie is on-hand to record the whole thing.

Celebrate a Birthday or Holiday With Flair

If your partner takes gift giving seriously, it might be time to pull out the Big One: a ring. We recommend the ole fake-out: put a classic velvet ring box inside a series of other boxes that need to be unwrapped, Russian doll style. As soon as the paper of the final box is torn, kneel down on one knee and get to it.

Do a bit of research about some local spots that boast a beautiful sunrise or sunset view, make sure you have the exact time of sunrise or sunset, and plan around that. Proposing as the sky bursts into colors around you is a cinematic way to pop the question and will create a moment that neither of you will ever forget.

Does your partner listen to the same radio show or podcast on their way to work every morning? If they do, a great way to pop the question is to organize an on-air proposal with the DJ or host— just make sure that your significant other will actually be listening at the right time. (Pro tip: on the big day, find an excuse to commute into work with them so you can see their reaction in real-time)

A camping trip is a great way to pop the question— it’s intimate, beautiful, and presents a perfect metaphor of the endless adventures that lie ahead. Whether you pitch a tent next to crashing waves or desert mountains, pulling out your ring next to a roaring fire and sky full of stars is the ultimate romantic move.

Do you and your partner have a special song? Have you always felt like the next big undiscovered pop star? Time to put all of that unrecognized talent to use and to pop the question as you sing the song that defines your relationship. Singing not your thing? You could always hire a professional to serenade you and your love as you ask the biggest question of your life.

Are you and your partner movie fans? Recreate your favorite romantic comedy proposal scene and before launching into your own personal monologue. Your partner will run through all of the classic romcom emotions, laughter, tears, and of course, happiness as they say “yes” through their tears of joy.

Surprise your partner (and a stranger) by turning an innocent photo into a proposal. If the two of you are at a big event like a music festival, concert, or big game, ask a stranger to take a few pictures of the two of you. Instruct them to just keep clicking away, and then pose for a few normal shots with your partner. After a minute, pull the ring out and let the photos document the big surprise.

Involving a shared hobby is a great way to propose. If the two of you love to play Scrabble together, for instance, purposely giving yourself the right letters to spell out MARRY ME on the board is a cute, winning way to propose.

Does your significant other have a sweet tooth? Go to your local bakery and order their favorite cake Have the baker pipe “Will You Marry Me?” on the top, present it to them, and then pull out the ring. There’s no better way to celebrate your partner’s big “yes” than with a nice sugar rush with a side of champagne.

Is Chinese food your go-to take-out meal? If your favorite restaurant serves fortune cookies at the end of a meal, this can be a fun way to propose. When your cookies arrive, open both of them, and sneakily swap your partner’s fortune for one that you’ve written. Hand it to them and watch as their eyes widen and light up with joy.

If you’re both a little obsessed with a series or book— use that in your proposal. Visit a style of restaurant featured in the book, an existing landmark where your favorite series is based, or go to a stage version of your favorite book. Incorporating your favorite Netflix binge or library staple in your proposal is a personal way to make your proposal even more memorable.

Recreate Your First Date or “I Love You”

Maybe you had your first kiss in front of a hot dog stand or said “I love you” for the first time at the local aquarium. Wherever your special spot is, bring your significant other back there on a date and give the spot a make-over by cementing it as the place where you started the next phase of your journey together. Pro tip: if you can, wear the same thing that you did on your first date. This will put a sentimental spin on your big moment.

Are you and your partner nature lovers? If you answered yes, a day of hiking will get your endorphins flowing which will give you tons of energy to pop the big question. We recommend waiting to make the big ask until you reach the summit, drink some water, and catch your breath–this way you will get the big “yes” as you take in some killer views and stunning vistas.

If your little family involves a child, make them a part of your big proposal. Have your little guy or girl create a drawing or painting of you all as a family, and write-out “Will you marry me?” on the bag as a sentimental, unforgettable way to ask the big question.

Do you two have a furbaby? Fixing the ring box to their collar and having them walk over to your partner is a really cute way to involve them in your big moment.

The combination of social media and services like Cameo have made the once impossible a reality— incorporating your favorite celebrity into your proposal. Enlisting the help of your partner’s favorite musician, actor, or reality star to pop the big question is an unforgettable way to start the rest of your lives together.

Does your local train station or shopping center have an old fashioned photo booth? Under the ruse of “going for a nice meal,” get dressed up and head out. Suggest a quick photo before dinner, and once you’re set up in the photo booth and the camera gets clicking, propose. It will all be caught onto the filmstrip, which will be printed instantly for you. Then, go to dinner as planned, and show your waitstaff the photo! Chances are, champagne will be on the house.

Go to your favorite restaurant, order the most indulgent items on the menu, and speak to the waitstaff about having a bottle of champagne for the moments after the big “yes” is uttered.

Have you two always dreamt of seeing the Eiffel Tower together? Catching a glimpse of the Taj Mahal? Swimming the Great Barrier Reef? Make your trip of a lifetime even more memorable by proposing when you’re in front of the spot you’ve always talked about visiting.

Are you used to an audience? Whether you’re a standup comedian, singer-songwriter, or public speaker, if your partner doesn’t mind the spotlight, a staged proposal is a fun idea. Ask them to come to a specific performance of your show, and at the end, call them onstage, explain how important they are to you, and pop the question while everybody cheers.

You did it! Now comes the wedding planning. Lucky for you, Generation Tux is here to help. Select and plan your wedding day look online, enjoy special grooms-only perks, and have your ensemble delivered and picked up at your door with plenty of time to spare.

: There’s a pretty good chance that no matter where you go, you’re going to have some downtime. Not every meal is going to be super fancy, not every afternoon is going to be planned. So bring a few casual outfits: shorts (if it’s warm where you’re going), jeans, tees, etc.

: These are the kind of outfits you’ll wear to a casual lunch or during a tour, etc. Shorts and jeans can still apply, just make sure you have the appropriate footwear and shirts. This really depends on what kind of trip you’re going on, too. Look at what kind of excursions or tours you’re going to be doing.

: Unless you are going to the opera or some 

, formal wear usually is just “pretty nice.” A suit, at most, but often this can just be slacks and a nice shirt, maybe a blazer. You need to have a couple nice shirts with you no matter what, but for anything more, again, look to your itinerary.

: Even if you’re not going to the beach, there’s a pretty good chance that your hotel will have a pool. Even if not, it’s always a good idea to have a swimsuit just in case.

: This is especially important if you’re going hiking or some other strenuous outdoor activity. Plus, if it’s your thing, you may want to workout at your hotel gym while on vacation.

: Again, this depends on where you’re going and what you’re doing, but, generally, we recommend having one pair each of flip flops/sandals, sneakers/walking shoes, casual shoes and 

: If you’re going somewhere other than the Caribbean, it’s a good idea to pack layers, especially if you’re traveling during an offseason. A light jacket or pullover that can be put on over just about anything. Plus, a mix of shorts and pants and long sleeve shirts and short sleeves.

: Bring clothes that you can mix and match or wear again to minimize how much you need to pack. For example, you don’t need four pairs of jeans; you can wear a pair or two multiple times and be fine. And maybe your favorite button-down can be worn casually with khaki shorts or look a bit nicer with slacks. This is also where layers come in handy.

We know you know how to pack your toiletries, but if you want a little instruction here’s a list:

Any medication you take, plus general pain reliever, cold medicine, etc.

Anything else that you include in your daily routine

: Cell phone and charger, for sure. Laptop and charger, if you think you will need it (but we don’t recommend bringing it). Camera. Headphones.

: Hat or visor. Watch and other jewelry. Sunglasses.

A Guy’s Guide to Packing for Your Honeymoon

With so much going on the day of your wedding, it is not hard to imagine some things getting left by the wayside. Here’s the top seven things that people forget the day of their wedding so hopefully you can run interference and not make the same mistakes.

While you are probably not going to be spending a lot of time on your phone during your wedding, it is still a good idea to make sure it is charged up the morning-of. With all the running around you’ll be doing before getting ready for your big day, you never know what might pop up. You still need a way to communicate with bridesmaids, groomsmen, vendors, or your parents.

This sounds like something obvious, but it is incredible how many people forget to eat and hydrate before their wedding. You’re nervous and incredibly busy, so it’s an easy oversight. So make sure that there are plenty of (healthy) snacks and water bottles laying around for everyone. There should 100 percent be no passing out from low blood sugar and dehydration.

Your wedding ceremony is not the time to be winging it. The best way to make sure your vows sound natural when it comes time, it to practice them out loud before hand. If you start well in advance, there’s plenty of time for edits and memorization.

There is a pretty good chance there will be crying. Anyone prone to getting emotional should have a tissue hidden away to delicately wipe away tears during the ceremony.

With everything going on, it comes as no surprise that tips for your vendors gets overlooked. Put someone responsible in charge of some clearly labeled envelopes to help ease this process. Trying to tip them after the fact can be difficult, so it’s better for everyone if this is taken care of before everyone heads home.

If you don’t mind dancing barefoot on a floor that everyone has walked and spilled drinks all over, then by all means, go for it. If, however, you want to air on the side of caution, and hygiene, make sure all the ladies have an extra pair of shoes packed just for this occasion.

If you’re leaving for the honeymoon the next day, it may be a good idea to find a safe and smart place to store your luggage. Every piece you’ll need. You’d hate to get to the airport in the morning and realize you left the bag with your phone charger or toiletries.

Whatever happens on the day of your wedding, even if that means you forgot something, it’s important to take a deep breath and tackle it with an even head, despite feeling like the world is crashing down around you. This is supposed to be one of the best days of your life and you should enjoy it as much as you possibly can. Make sure multiple people have your list of to-dos. And please, please, please, remember to eat.

There are so many small details that go into creating your dream wedding, but that doesn’t mean you should have to stress. Generation Tux lets you sample your clothing before the big day, in the comfort of your living room. See what we have to offer to make your union extraordinary.

Top 7 Things People Forget the Day of Their Wedding

The more details that go into a wedding, the more things that can go wrong. The flowers could be delivered late, the bride’s name could be misspelled in the program, the cake could arrive with a missing tier. You just never know.


But it’s one thing for accidents to happen at the fault of a third party. It’s a whole other ordeal when the groom messes up. The groom is the one person the bride can yell at without feeling guilty afterward.


So to avoid that senseless screaming, here are the three biggest mistakes grooms make and how to avoid them.

Planning for this wedding has been going on for 

. Your bride and her planning cohort have worked tirelessly to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch. The worst possible thing you could do is drop the ball on any of the few tasks she entrusted to you.


The day before and the day of the wedding have been carefully scheduled there is absolutely no room for error. Especially with the suit. Between the rehearsal and the dinner and grandma telling you about her doctor visits, there will not be time to worry about something that should have been taken care of already.


We have seen it all. Wrong sizes, wrong colors, even no garments at all. Or you might go to pick up the suit the morning of the wedding and find the shop closed. Think you’ve seen your fiance mad before? Think you’ve gotten “the look” before? You haven’t. Nothing will compare to this wrath. This look will be pulled straight from the pits of hell.


Don’t be that guy. Order your suit or tux six months in advance and get it in your hands 14 days before your wedding.

 that your opinion doesn’t matter or that you have no business making decisions for her wedding—I mean, your wedding. But trust us, refusing to get involved or at least pretending to care what colors the bridesmaids dresses are or which font to use on the place cards is worse.


There are plenty of decisions that couples can—and should—make together when it comes to their wedding. Here are three great topics to you can add your opinion to: Style, Honeymoon, and Suits.


The style of your wedding isn’t just up to her. It needs to match you two as a couple. And you are a great vacationer, offer her ideas that will blow her away. And suits? It’s you that has to wear it all day. Sure, she knows what look she wants to see in her pictures, but after covering the basics, that’s something you can totally take care of on your own. You are a strong, independent groom who don’t need no hand-holding.


Get involved and be there for your bride. Bring her a glass of wine when she’s ready to pull her hair out. Tell her you can’t wait to marry her. Be the guy she’s dreamed of marrying since watching Cinderella as a kid.

 push cake into your bride’s face, we’re just saying you should consider the consequences before making this bold move.


Yes, sure, we’re kidding just a little bit, but this advice applies to all decisions you make throughout the planning process and day-of the event. Consider the consequences carefully.


Anything that will ruin her makeup is generally off limits. Picking pointless arguments? She cries, makeup runs. Off limits. Too many lap dances from scantily-clad women at your bachelor party? She finds out, she cries, makeup runs. Off limits. Cake in the face? Icing is washed off along with the makeup she probably paid quite a bit to have done. Off limits. This list goes on and on.


A few smart decisions on your part and your wedding will go swimmingly, if no one else messes up, of course. But even if they do, it won’t be your fault and instead you can be the hero. Don’t be the guy that stands idly by while the world around your bride falls apart. Looking great and taking care of business is what you’re here for, and it only takes a little bit of effort.
