This is an extremely important responsibility, it falls to you as the best man to ensure that the Groom most especially is fitted, and that his outfit is ready for the wedding. You also have to coordinate with the rest of the groomsmen and make sure that they are all fitted correctly.

The Parties

As the best man your will not only be required to throw a “Bachelor’s Party” for the groom, your presence and participation will also be required at the engagement party, the rehearsal dinners, the wedding reception and sometimes maybe even a reception after party.

The Groomsmen

Getting the groomsmen properly fitted and dressed for the wedding isn’t where your groomsmen duties stops, first and foremost you have to make sure every groomsman chosen understands and is ready to actively fulfill their duties as groomsmen. The groomsmen aren’t there just to take pictures and look fancy at the wedding, the groomsmen are there to assist in taking some of the load of the planning and organisation of the wedding proceedings off the groom.

As the best man, you have to make sure the groomsmen and the groom especially, get dressed and make it to the wedding venue on time and in style.

You will be required to act as a guide for the groom, making sure he doesn’t get overly swamped with mingling, making sure he doesn’t drink too much and making sure he doesn’t have any wardrobe malfunctions.

The Ring

It will fall to your as the best man to keep the wedding rings safe leading up to the ceremony, and sometimes if there is no ring bearer, then you will have to play that part as well.

The Best Man Toast

A well known role of the best man is the delivery of the best man’s toast at the wedding reception, so yo have to be prepared. Do not try to freestyle, have a clear idea of what you are going to say, even if you are going to say something embarrassing, be tactful, impart wisdom and lastly, try to keep it short.
