Next May my fiance and I will marry. With two children (one a piece) from our previous marriages, we will include them in our wedding as the ring bearer and flower girl. My flower girl, who will be 6, has picked a dress identical to mine, but my son, will be 3, needs a tuxedo. My wedding party will be in white tuxs with blue undershirts. My question is, should I have my three year old wear shorts or pants under his tux jacket, or is a tux even a good choice? The wedding is outside and he is a hot natured little man (so to speak). Any help is appreciated! Thanks again

Dear Aidensmomaiden,

An Eaton suit would be perfect. These come with short pants.

A white tux is reserved for warm weather locations and the warmer months. Plus, it is reserved for evening wear.

Best wishes,
