Deciding whom to include in your wedding party is not that easy. Do no just ask your friends to be part of your groomsmen if you know they are not capable or they do not have much time to spend with you before you decide who to include, better think long and hard. Ask yourself if they would be happy to be part of your entourage.
Remember that as part of your party, they will often be considered with some expectations especially when it comes to you. When deciding whom to make as your best man, you will need to think if this person is capable of being your right-hand man. Usually, the person you choose is a close friend or a family member that is close to you. The duties of your best man go beyond organizing your buck’s party. He will also be asked to give a speech and will play an important role in the marriage ceremony.
The best man will organize the bachelors party, attend suit fitting, be part of the wedding photo shoot, make sure that you will come at the church on time, take care of the wedding bands and give them to the groom as you exchange vows during the ceremony, make the first toast to the bride and groom, sign the marriage certificate as witnesses, give the check or cash to officiant before the wedding ceremony, and dance with the maid of honor.
When it comes to your groomsmen, your choices for them are your guy friends whom you know would be happy to be part of your bridal party. You can include close male friends and family members as well. Their responsibilities will include suit fittings, plan the bachelor party, come early before the other guests at the wedding, wear the right wedding attire, greet and help guests seat at the wedding, escort bridesmaid down the aisle at the ceremony, and dance with the bridesmaid at the reception.
Although some of the tasks are not that difficult, but it is still important to think very hard if the person you will invite would want to join the party or not. Keep in mind that your chosen group is required to spend time with you so make sure that they will be committed. After that, it is your responsibility to find great groomsmen gifts for them so that they can really enjoy your wedding and the great gifts you gave them.
