Getting picked as the best man is quite the honor but carrying out all your duties properly can be quite the hassle. But you are special to the groom which is why you are given the responsibility of the best man, hence you need to make sure that you nail all the important responsibilities. A lot of people usually have no ideas about the duties of a best man. So here we list it out for you.
- First on your list should be checking out the tuxedos. If you buy or rent them, you need to check out if that is done a month or so before the wedding. After all, the groom can’t get married without a tux.
- The next part is to make sure that you know what the groom exactly has to do. So if he forgets, you will be there to help him out.
- Now comes the fun part, the stag party, you need to make sure that you arrange the entire thing.
- We’ve all heard that the bride gets wedding jitters, the same actually happens with the groom. So it’s you who has to calm the groom down. Plus, this might happen a month before the wedding as well. So you need to be there by his side most of the times before the wedding.
- The other part you should dread is probably the speech. If it’s not right, then rest assured you will be in a lot of trouble with the groom. So you need to practice the speech a few weeks before the wedding. Make sure that it is short but funny as well and is meaningful too.
- You need to check on the tux’s again a few days before to make sure that all of them have been delivered and the size’s and colors and right.
- Attendance at the wedding rehearsal is also another responsibility. Along with that, you also need to make sure that the rest of the groomsmen and other people also attend. This way you can find all the mistakes in the entire ceremony.
- Organizing transportation is also another important part. You need to make sure that the transportation for the bride and groom is set and you also need to have a backup just in case something goes wrong.
- You also need to book a photographer for the ceremony.
- On the day, you need to get the groom into the tuxedo, make sure that the entire ceremony runs smoothly and calm his nerves down is required
- You have to make sure that the groom reaches the venue of the wedding at least an hour in advance. You also need to keep the wedding rings properly.
- Check the groomsmen on the day of the wedding to make sure that they are properly dressed and in queue properly.
- Keeping a comb or even a towel at your disposal is a good idea. You never know when, who might just need it.
- After the wedding, you also need to keep a tab on the gifts. And you need to make sure that they are transported off to wherever required.
