Groomsmen Suits in Singapore: Outfits, Fittings and Costs

Quick answer: Choose one suit style and colour, book one group fitting, and agree on who pays before anyone buys. At Suit Archive, groups can be fitted in one visit, and the cost is the number of suits times S$178 (as of October 2026). Share the schedule early so every groomsman knows where to be and when.

Key takeaways

• Decide the look first, then the cost, then the fitting date.
• One group appointment saves time and keeps everything matching.
• Tell your groomsmen what to bring, such as shirt and shoes.
• Give each person a clear job on the day.

How many groomsmen do you need?

There is no rule. Many Singapore weddings have between two and six groomsmen, and some have none. Your groomsmen usually help with the gatecrash games, carry items, greet guests and support you on the day. Pick people you trust and who can commit to the schedule.

How should groomsmen dress?

You have three common options.

The colour should suit the time of day and the venue. See our guide to wedding suit colours.

How much do groomsmen suits cost?

Suit Archive sells a complete 3-piece suit at a flat S$178, no matter the colour or brand. A dress shirt is S$29 and a tie or bow tie is S$19 (as of October 2026). A group cost is simple to work out.

Decide early who pays. Some grooms pay for all, some split the cost, and some ask each groomsman to pay for their own. All three are normal. What matters is that everyone knows before the fitting.

How do you run a group fitting?

1. Agree on the look. Send your groomsmen a short message with the colour and style.
2. Pick a date. Choose a day when most people can come. Suit Archive is open by appointment, Monday to Friday, 11am to 11pm.
3. Book one appointment. Tell the team how many people are coming.
4. Ask everyone to bring a shirt and shoes. This helps check the fit.
5. Try on together. The team checks shoulders first, then chest, sleeves and trouser length.
6. Pay and go. If the suit fits, take it home the same day. Small changes go to a local tailor.

Suit Archive works by appointment only, so walk-ins are not accepted.

What if a groomsman cannot come?

Some groomsmen live far away or work shifts. Here are two ways to handle it.

• Ask them to use the size guide and share their measurements.
• Book a separate visit for them, and choose the same suit.

You can also use the site's size calculator as a starting point, but a fitting in person is still the best way to check.

When should groomsmen buy their suits?

Follow the same timing as the groom. Suit Archive suggests a fitting about six weeks before the wedding and buying four to five weeks before. This leaves time for any alterations.

What do groomsmen do on the wedding day?

Give each person a job. This makes the day smoother.

Write these down, so no one has to ask.

How do you keep everyone on time?

Create a simple schedule with arrival times, locations and contact numbers. Send it a week before and again the night before. Include the address, parking tips and who to call if someone is running late.

What mistakes should you avoid?

• Not telling anyone the cost. This creates awkward moments.
• Leaving the fitting too late. See our groom's checklist.
• Forgetting shirts and ties. Check who is buying them.
• Mixing too many styles. Keep it simple.
• Giving no jobs. Groomsmen enjoy helping when they know what to do.

What message can you send your groomsmen?

Copy and change this.

"Hi all, thank you for being part of my wedding on [date] at [venue]. The plan is navy 3-piece suits, white shirts and [tie colour] ties. We will do one group fitting at Suit Archive on [date and time]. The suit is S$178 each (shirt S$29, tie S$19). Please bring the shirt and shoes you will wear. The schedule for the day will follow in a separate message. Let me know if you cannot make the fitting."

Edit the details to suit your plan and fill in who pays.

What does a groomsmen schedule look like?

This is only an example. Your timings will be different. Put yours into the Summer Vows Itinerary so everyone sees the same plan.

How do you handle different budgets?

Not every groomsman can spend the same. You can:

• Cover the cost for everyone.
• Cover the suit and ask each person to buy their own shirt and tie.
• Ask each person to pay for their own, and tell them the cost in advance.
• Pick a lower-cost option for the group.

Having an honest chat early keeps things friendly. Suit Archive's flat S$178 price for a 3-piece suit makes it easy to plan, because every colour costs the same.

What if groomsmen live overseas?

Send them the size guide and ask for measurements. Plan for a fitting when they arrive, with enough time for alterations. If time is tight, ask Suit Archive about short-notice fittings on WhatsApp.

How can Summer Vows help?

• Use the role-based links in the Wedding Day Itinerary so groomsmen see only what they need.
• Save phone numbers and car details in Key Contacts and Cars.
• Track the cost in the Budget Tracker.
