How much does it cost to outfit your wedding party? Plan per-person groomsmen and bridesmaid attire, compare rent vs. retail vs. custom, and split costs.
A typical US wedding party of 5 groomsmen and 5 bridesmaids costs $2,000–$3,500 at rental or retail pricing, or $1,260–$1,500 at Nathan Tailors custom — and your party keeps the garments instead of returning rentals. Groomsmen suits: $150–$600 rental/retail vs. $169–$279 custom. Bridesmaid dresses: $200–$400 retail vs. $69–$99 custom. Adjust party size, tier, and who pays below.
