Choosing reliable and financially responsible groomsmen is important for a successful wedding. The groom should prioritize his own wishes and choose people who will add to the special day. The best man typically has more responsibility, while ushers may be appointed to seat guests.

Choosing your best man is one of the most important tasks you will face in preparing for your wedding day. These assistants are expected to support you and help you prepare for your wedding, assisting with the details and activities, before, during and after your wedding. They are also expected to share the joy of your wedding day, by being close to you during the ceremony, participating in group photographs and generally enjoying the day’s activities as your trusted and honored attendants. Most grooms chose close friends and family members as groomsmen.

The first thing to remember when choosing groomsmen is that your wedding should be about you and your bride. Your wishes have top priority when selecting assistants. You are not obligated to ask anyone to attend your wedding. That means you don’t have to ask your best friend from middle school to join the wedding party. Instead, choose people who will add something desirable to your special day.

Reliability is also of great importance when choosing your groomsmen. You’ll need them to be on time for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, as well as the ceremony. You’ll rely on them to attend pre-wedding parties, escort bride’s assistants during the wedding downturn, help you stay organized and, in some cases, help seat wedding guests before the ceremony. You could also enlist their help in carrying your belongings after the wedding ceremony and reception. Choose responsible and reliable assistants to avoid disappointment and hassle.

Select groomsmen with financial considerations in mind. While your chosen attendees may consider it an honor to serve at your wedding, some may find it difficult to pay the associated expenses. Typically, groomsmen pay for their own formal attire. They are also responsible for paying for their own transportation to the wedding and hotel accommodations if traveling from another area. Make sure the people you choose understand the financial requirements to accept this honor.

Often a groom chooses a particular person to serve in a position of honor as his best man. This person typically has more responsibility than other groomsmen, she stands closest to the groom during the ceremony and takes the lead in planning the groom’s bachelor party. Also, some grooms appoint ushers to seat guests instead of giving groomsmen this job.
