You may not think that you will have much to
do but think again. As groomsmen you are probably close
friends or relatives of the groom and therefore must take on
the responsibilities of helping him to prepare for the big day
(No that does not mean scare him with horror stories of
married life). Take your role as groomsmen serious and help
the groom the best that you can.
Not forgetting all those single bridesmaids
that you'll impress by showing how responsible you can be.
Like the bridesmaids, you'll have to pay for
your wedding gear. Of cause you'll be able to rent your tux
which is a lot cheaper than the bridesmaids dresses. Be sure
to get fitted well in advance of the big day and put a deposit
down to ensure that it will be prepared for the day, after all
you don't want to be walking down the aisle with a miss
matched suit or even worse trousers that come to your knees
Be sure to attend all pre-wedding festivities
-- engagement party, stag party, (no doubt you won't forget
this one) rehearsal dinner, etc..
One of your roles is to help the best man
prepare the stag night. This is your chance to book that
stripper that you always wanted for your eighteenth but no one
got you one.
Help the best man and bridesmaids to decorate
the get-a-way car (it sounds like a bank job doesn't it?)
You will of cause meet the bridesmaids up
front before the wedding which will give you the perfect
chance to pick and choose
You will need to brush up on the sites for the ceremony and
reception so you can help guests out with awkward questions
such as, "where's the toilet? and the like.
Purchase a wedding present from you to both
the bride and groom. Or alternatively you and the rest of the
groomsmen can chip in and give them a spectacular gift.
At the reception it is polite to dance with
the bridesmaids, so if you don't know how to dance now is the
time to brush up on your steps.
