When you get married, then you know planning a wedding can be very challenging, but in the end it can pay off. Many people hire a professional wedding planner to take care of details, but they can be quite expensive. However, many couples, to save money opt to do it themselves, with the help of their family and the wedding party. To be part of any wedding party, as maid of honor, best man, bridesmaid or groomsmen is quite an honor, but you also have some responsibilities you’ll have to take care of.
The maid of honor is perhaps the second-most important and busiest female in the wedding party. She is expected to assist the bride in selecting her wedding dress and any other help she may need, such as dealing with caterers, venues, sending out invites etc. She and the bridesmaids should also be the ones to take care of the wedding shower and/or bachelorette party, inviting the people, getting food, making the necessary arrangements etc. On the wedding day itself, she and the bridesmaids will not have much to do, except in cases where the bride cannot attend to certain arrangements.
The best man, on the other hand, is the counterpart of the maid of honor. He usually takes care of getting all the groomsmen together for fittings, help find a wedding band, and arrange for the bachelor party. On the wedding day itself, he usually takes care of things the groom cannot attend to, like picking up the pastor/officiant, handing over payment to the caterers/band etc. The groomsmen also serve as ushers during the ceremony, and basically help with arrangements during the ceremony so the bride and groom can enjoy their big day without worrying about anything.
With so many things they need to do (and basically volunteering their time and money) you should think about your gifts. A bridesmaid and groomsmen gift is very much a good gesture. Giving a bridesmaid or groomsmen gift is the best way to thank these people for helping you out on your big day and sharing this special moment with you. There are many types of bridesmaids and groomsmen gift you can buy that will surely be appreciated, you just need to take the time and find out what gifts are appropriate. When buying a bridesmaids and groomsmen gift, think about the person’s preferences, so you can find the best gift to give them.
