Best Man Responsibilities
Your buddy asked you to be the Best Man at his wedding. You're thrilled! And then you get to wondering, is there more to this than just renting a tux?
Yes, there is!
Most people think the Best Man's duties are to organize the Bachelor Party and hold the Bride's ring during the ceremony .
There's much more to being a Best Man than just throwing a party.
Usually the Best Man is the best friend or very close relative of the Groom. The Best Man should be someone who can be relied upon and is willing to shoulder numerous duties and activities. Are you ready to do that?
If so, you'll be essential to making this wedding come off without a hitch.
Best Man responsibilities include:
1. He will help the Groom with any needed assistance, from choosing tuxedos and honeymoon destinations to getting the luggage in the car on the Wedding Day.
2. He will organize (and foot the bill for) the Bachelor Party.
3. He will pick up the Groom's tuxedo before the Big Day, and perform any other errands the Groom needs done.
4. He will have the Marriage License with him, and will forward payment to the minister or other officiant on the Big Day.
5. He will help the Groom dress for the ceremony, and "get him to the church on time!"
6. He will oversee the Groomsmen and Ushers, making sure they're ready to proceed on time.
7. He will hold the Bride's ring until needed during the ceremony, regardless of whether there is a ring bearer.
8. He will act as witness along with the Maid of Honor, signing the official marriage certificate.
9. At the reception, he will become the host. He will welcome the Bride and Groom.
10. If there is a formal reception line, he will stand next to the Bride.
11. He will give the Best Man speeches (2 different speeches!) at the Rehearsal Dinner and then at the Wedding Reception. His speech is always first
12. He will make sure he dances with the Bride, the Maid of Honor, the Bride's Mother, the Groom's Mother, respective Grandmothers if possible, and then each female guest as possible. Yes, really.
13. He will make sure that the Groom has all needed tickets, keys, reservation information and honeymoon details.
14. He will return all formal wear after the wedding.
Best Man responsibilities can also include any unique arrangements needed for the wedding. For example, the Bride and Groom may have chosen to give special vows. If this is the case, then the Best Man would carry the copies of those vows for the wedding couple.
Other Best Man responsibilities can include organizing the Groomsmen for the formal photographs, carrying a copy of the seating plan to help with seating guests at the reception, and if there are any special greetings from guests unable to attend the reception, he reads those to the Bride and Groom.
So you see, acting as Best Man is no picnic! However, if you choose to carry out the responsibilities of Best Man, you'll be rewarded with warm memories and the wedding couple's eternal gratitude.
