Had the same issue at a formal 40th just before Christmas. I was informed by She Who Must Be Obeyed that: 1) I am going in a suit. 2) I am leaving my bag and Bat belt at home. At that point I balked, that's like being asked to show up wearing my birthday suit and a smile. So I cheated. Leatherman PS4 and Victorinox Midnight Manager on a dangler chain right front pocket. Keys, AAA torch and peanut lighter left front pocket. During the evening, everything except the lighter got used.

At a bridal shower and wedding, my modified Pocket Medic came in handy several times. This was in 2007, before AMK improved the Ultra Light 3. Not only was it used to treat two scraped knees, a safety pin came in handy during a wardrobe malfunction and my youngest sister had a headache during the reception.

Not exactly tuxedo, but I'm EDCing a lot in my business sport coat quite inconspicuously. Including the cut off steel flask with USB self solar charging power bank, AC adapter, USB cable, disposable rain poncho, pepper spray, shocker, water filter, lighter, 256Gb total of various type and format data storage, set of credit, id, business, RFID/NFC access cards, 2 sterile scalpel blades, some pills, safety pins, sewing needles with plenty of #8 nylon thread, and a microfiber cloth. (even more stuff is on my belt, on the neck, and in the pants pockets). The secret is in the organizing this stuff in flat bundles distributing the bulk evenly in the pockets.

At my brother's wedding:
Pen/paper - constantly in use. I was part of the wedding party and had all the minor details (like who I was partnered with, schedule, etc.) jotted down in mini composition book. Also, a good opportunity to show off your nicer pens. What's the point of being a gear junkie if you can't show off on occasion.
LM Micra - no use. But, a tuxedo is a perfect place to carry that classic pen or Barlow knife.
Fenix E05 - Critical to have this. Escorting my kids to the bathroom (many times), taking motor mouth (son) outside for a cool down (many times), hauling rear down a dark, unlit driveway, in the rain, to get to the shuttle (large school bus), illuminating the inside of the shuttle
Hanky - It was a warm day. And, of course, the kids.
Earplugs - I did mentions my kids, right!?!
What I should have had:
Moleskin and pocket sewing kit - Thankfully the ladies were nicely prepared for the expected wardrobe problems.
Flask - Not for whiskey, but for water. It was a warm day.
