Here are some duties you may find yourself a part of by being the best man...-Serve as the groom's personal aide and adviser before and during the wedding. This can include helping him pack for the honeymoon (don´t forget to pack his speedos for him :) )
-Help the groom pick out his suit and accessories for his wedding, and if theyre all not being purchased/rented together ensure that they colour coordinate with eachother, as well as the wedding theme/colours as well.
-Here´s one that most men won´t mind serving duty....Organizing the bachelor party! whether it´s at a hall with 90 people, or with the groomsmen at a bar, it is usually the best man who coordinates this, and not to worry! If you have financial worries, the bachelor party is usually split between attendees, through purchasing tickets to attend or by buying drinks for the groom, whichever route you choose to take.
- On the wedding day, safe keeping of the bride´s ring and guarding it with your life! A groom is already nervous on the wedding day, what worse way to start a new life with his bride then to misplace her ring!
-Signing the marriage license as a witness along with the Maid of Honour.
-Give the officiant their fee in a sealed envelope (these are covered by the couple), your duty is to hold it until they have to give it to them.
- Here´s probably one of the most biggest duties (and possibly freightening if youre a nervous kind of guy) of being a best man, writing a speech and toasting the bride and groom (check out my blog about writing a successful speech).
-You may be responsible for the safe keeping of the gifts and holding the envelopes until the couple returns from their honeymoon.
- You may be responsible for getting the bride and groom to their hotel or airport after the wedding...not planning to be sober? rent them a limo to take them there.
And most importantly, enjoy yourself on this day! It´s over in a blink of an eye, Remember you were chosen to be the best man because you ARE the best man!
