Tips
for the Groom -
Choosing
your team
The
Best Man
- Custom
dictates choosing your brother or best friend for the
job. However, you can give the honor to your father.
In addition to making sure everything runs smoothly,
the best man's responsibilities include:
- Planning
the bachelor party.
- Helping
you get ready on the day of the wedding.
- Standing
up at the ceremony.
- Serving
as a witness and signing the marriage license.
- Delivering
the first toast during the reception.
- Making
sure the groom's tux is returned the day after the
wedding.
- Other
duties might include
- Picking
up out of town guests.
- Packing
your luggage in the car and filling the car with
gas.
- Making
sure all groomsmen's tuxes are returned the day
after the wedding.
The
Groomsmen
- Brothers,
fiancee's brothers or any close friends can serve as
groomsmen. Usually you choose between one and three
groomsmen. Thier responsibilities include:
- Co-hosting
the bachelor party.
- Standing
by the altar during the ceremony.
- Escorting
the bridesmaids.
- Attending
the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
The
Ushers
- Friends
or relatives can serve as ushers. You'll want at least
one usher for every 50 guests. Ushers are responsible
for:
- Escorting
people to their seats: Groom's guests sit on the
right and the Bride's on the left.
- Helping
out-of-town guests get to the ceremony.
- Offering
assistance as needed to the florist, photographers,
videographers, etc.
The
Ringbearer
- A
younger brother, relative or friend who is between three
and eight years old can be a perfect addition to your
wedding party.
- He
walks in the processional and carries a ring sewn
onto a small white pillow (this is not necessarily
the actual wedding ring).
- If
very young, he can stand with his parents during
the processional and later be included in the formal
wedding photographs.
