Making the decision on who you should include in your bridal party may be challenging since there are so many things to consider and so many expectations that you may have for them. If you are the groom and you are still in the process of choosing your best man and groomsmen make sure that the guys know their tasks and responsibilities. It is not just about them having fun on the way and getting free beer as they are with you. They should realize that with the role comes certain obligations and moral support that you will need.
Finding your best man may be easy because your best man is most of the time your best pal or your closest brother. Before you delegate this task though, make sure that this person takes the whole responsibility seriously and will help you with the pre-wedding parties that he will probably also be hosting. Your best man will be your right hand so his duties will also extend beyond organizing your bachelor party. Your best man will also be there with you as you search for your outfit and theirs. He will also endure one hour of the photo shoot with you before the reception takes place, he will also keep your wedding rings until the time of the ceremony. He will also be giving a toast to you and your bride without the embarrassment. He will sign the marriage contract and will handle the tips to the vendors and also to the minister. And do not forget, he will also be dancing with the maid of honour.
When it comes to your groomsmen, these are the men you mostly rely on and are considered as buddies. These men may be your office mates, old college friends or elementary friends, neighbours, or just some of the men you mostly feel comfortable to talk with. These groomsmen will also be doing suit fittings, plan and pay for the bachelor party, greet and seat the guests at the ceremony, escort the mother of the bride or the groom to her suit, escort the bridesmaids down the aisle, and dance with the bridesmaids at the reception.
Some may think that the tasks are just easy ones, but still it is important that each of them understand their responsibilities. The groom, on the other hand will also have the responsibility and task of providing their groomsmen gifts and best man gift to each of your loyal and trusted friends.
