Like the Bride, Groom and Maid/Matron of Honor, the Best Man also has responsibilities to the Wedding Party.

Guidelines for the Best Man

Here are some guidelines to help the Best Man. Please remember, these are just some of the standard duties. You may be asked to help in other ways, you may be asked to simply offer moral support…

· Arrange for a Bachelor Party: whether it is a dinner, a weekend, or a wild night out, you are responsible for arranging the plans as well as the guests. Please keep the tastes and morals of others in mind. Have fun, but DO NOT DO something that you'll be sorry for later.

· Help the groom with the formalwear arrangements. What size does everyone need, where can you pick it all up, etc…

· Assist with the many details of the day. Chances are, the Groom will be too nervous to remember everything.

· Keep the bride's ring until the ceremony.

· Ensure the groom's timely arrival at the ceremony.

· Offer to arrange payment for the officiate.

· Offer to arrange payment for the Transportation Company.

· Offer the first toast to the couple. A good idea is to write it down and have it rehearsed. Make it flattering to the bride, romantic, and witty! Your DJ can offer some suggestions.

· Offer to help in any way. Calm anyone who seems stressed.

· Arrange the bride and groom's departure. Make sure it goes smoothly.

· Offer to return the groom's formalwear if necessary.

· Assist DJ with dollar/wine dance if applicable.

· Check with DJ for announcements.

· Deliver a message to the brides parents from the newlyweds thanking them for the fantastic celebration.
