When your friend is getting hitched, there are few greater honors than to be picked as one of his groomsmen. This is a responsible position, and can lead to an amount of stress. Here is a simple wedding planning checklist for the dutiful groomsman - follow it and you will avoid embarrassment and help your friend make some great memories.
First and foremost, secure a tuxedo rental in advance, make sure it’s fitted, and have enough money on hand - you will be expected to pay for the rental yourself. Work with the best man in coordinating your clothes, and help out with the planning for the bachelor party. Your dumbest and most outlandish ideas for the party may, in the end, prove to be the most fun - just make sure they don’t end in disaster.
Show up for the rehearsal(s) and get your moves right.
When the big day comes, you will need to take care of all concerns and needs, so that the bridegroom can focus on his big moment and isn’t forced to chase after bugs and snags. You should help concierge the ceremony and help the guests find their seats, driving the groom and other participants to the wedding.
Make sure that you’re always doing something helpful in the run-up to the ceremony, like checking coats or handing out programs.
If you’re the best man, then all other duties are overshadowed by one: hanging on to the ring. Make sure it’s on you at all times and can’t get lost. Don’t be the guy who ruins the whole thing and gets his name into local legends due to a moment’s lack of caution.
At the reception, try to act natural and avoid creeping out any of the bridesmaids, and you should be fine. It helps if you know how to dance and are comfortable being videotaped doing so.
After that, the hard part is over. Help the newlyweds into their car, wave them a farewell and try to help with the colossal clean-up job that remains.
