Now you can rent your child's clothes
Categories: Kid Decor & Style
So, your cousin Betsy is getting married to the heavily tattooed guy she met at the grocery store. Great! But, she wants your previous little daughter to be the flower girl and your son to be the ring bearer.While you're happy to welcome Heavily Tattooed Guy to the family, you're not as thrilled to pay for both a flower girl dress and a ring bearer tux. Enter a children's rental clothing store.
For example, you can rent a white "red petal" flower girl dress for $18.99 for three weeks. The price is the same for a black boy's tuxedo.
To do so, you sign up and pick out the clothes you want. After you rent it, they send the item to you in the mail, with overnight shipping if needed. You can keep the outfit for three weeks and send it back without washing.
Personally, I think this is a good idea if you need a great formal outfit. I know we have an outfit or two bought for my daughter for professional pictures, only for them to end up hogging closet space.
Have you ever rented clothes for your children? Did it work out or was it a hassle?

Oh, I wish I had known about this last year (if it even existed then)! A friend of mine asked my daughter to be in his wedding. The bride picked out a dress that I thought was much too mature for a 21-month-old from a snooty online boutique. Three weeks after the dress arrived, they called off the wedding. The boutique offered only store credit - less a restocking fee - for returns after 14 days, and they had absolutely nothing else I would consider ever dressing my kid in. So now I have a $50 dress hanging in the closet - maybe I can sell it for $15 on Craigslist come Easter.
