My sister is getting married is a little over 6 weeks and we will be flying internationally to get there. Somehow it the midst of planning our trip I completely forgot about clothing for the kids.
I am the Matron of Honor so I'm taken care of (if I can fit into my dress 6 weeks post partum:) but we have 2 boys, ages 4 and 2. They both wear close to the same size, about 3T/4T.
Does anyone have recommendations of little boys formal clothes? I checked out the usual websites (Janie and Jack, Best Dressed Child, etc) but really do not want to spend and arm and a leg). The wedding is "formal" but what do you think is appropriate for little kids. FWIW, our children will be 3 of the 6 invited to a 250+ person wedding.
Thanks!!!!!
Edit: Thanks for the suggestions! We currently live in rural Germany so not many shops of any kind around us:)
Re: Formal boys toddler clothing
I would check places like JC Penney and Kohls for button down shirt/vest outfits. Something like this:

Or something similar with a sweater vest would work, depending on the weather where you'll be.

Definatly agree with PP.
Also, check marshalls or tjmaxx b/c you never know what you might find. Also, i would check a consignment shop. If they have something it likely is clothing that has been worn 1x and in great condition.
For DD's christening, we ended up borrowing a little vest/tie/pants outfit for DS from another family in the neighborhood b/c that little guy wore it to a wedding and grew out of it.
Oh, duh, definitely check consignment shops! I live near a huge Once Upon a Child and they always have formal/very dressy stuff in like-new condition, and probably cheaper than the department stores.

Our Burlington always has a TON of full suits for little boys for about $20!
