I am a first time "Best Man" and I really don't know what my responsibilities include. I'm looking for advice & suggestions.
Some duties can include: - Organizing bachelor party (or dinner, which is optional).
- Paying for your own wedding attire.
- Helping groom dress for the ceremony.
- Making sure the groom, groomsmen and ushers are at the ceremony on time & dressed properly.
- Driving groom to ceremony if need be.
- Presenting envelopes (from the groom) with fees/tips for people like the officiant (just before or after ceremony).
- Carrying the brides' ring down the isle and handing it to the officiant.
- Signing the marriage license, along with the maid of honor, as a legal witness.
- Giving the first toast to the couple at the reception and reading aloud any congratulatory telegrams.
- Dancing with the bride after the groom and fathers have danced with her.
- Driving the couple to the airport or hotel if they need a ride on the way to their honeymoon.
- Taking care of any tickets, keys, etc. the groom may need later.
- Organizing the return of all rented formal wear.
