Choosing Your Groomsmen
More than likely, your lovely fiancé has already chosen her 'maids,
and now you're stuck with the task of finding just the right number
of family or friends to pair them with. Here's some tips on how to
choose who makes the cut.
Who Makes It
Remember, no matter what your family or friends say, there are not
people that "must" be in the wedding party. You should choose the
buddies you are close with, not obligated to. If you're unfamiliar
with wedding etiquette, however, here's the "usual" rules for
including groomsmen in your wedding party.
Your and your bride's brothers come first. Unless there are strange
circumstances, your brothers and her brothers are automatically in
the wedding party. Next, your closest friends who may or may not be
family.
The Best Man
You will want to choose the man that is closest to you, who has been
there for you, and whether that's a blood relative or a close
friend, you will be glad at the time of the wedding that you chose
your best friend.
Expectations
Make sure your pals know about their responsibilities as a
groomsman. Travel and accommodations, attending the rehearsal and
dinner, renting a tuxedo and seating guests at the wedding are just
a few. If this is manageable for your buds, you're in business.
Who Doesn't Make It
A lot of money and effort is being spent on this, the biggest day of
your life. That friend who gets too drunk, who is late for
everything, who has a reputation of not showing up for important
events is not the best choice for a groomsmen. Basically, if there's
a question whether your skiing buddy "GangiaDaddy" will fulfill his
duties, you probably shouldn't ask. You want your most responsible
friends with you on this very special day.
