Being a best man is an honour and for the sake of your friendship with the groom, it is important you do a great job! Here are some handy tips to help you out…
Deliver an entertaining speech…
You have been chosen to be best man as the groom trusts you and considers you as one of his best mates so make him proud by delivering a top class speech. Embarrass him as much as possible but steer clear from stories that will make his new wife quiz him later on! Engage the audience with childhood tales, holiday stories and comedy antics, but remember there may be children present!
Start planning your speech way in advance; great words of wisdom do not appear over-night and it may take a while before your creative juices start flowing. Practice your speech in front of a mirror and also in front of other people – they can give you advice for improvements. Giving a speech can be a nerve wracking experience but taking time to plan and lots of practice should make it perfect.
Organising the Stag Do…
Perhaps the most entertaining job for a best man?! Getting a group of mates together and having a laugh, mainly at the groom's drunken behaviour, is crucial for any wedding! When planning the stag do it is best to theme it based on the groom's preferences. It is a party for him after all.
If you are planning to leave the country for the stag do (there are some great overseas stag do destinations) then do so a couple of days / weeks before the wedding so the groom can make his way home in time; just in case you 'accidently' forget to bring him back!
Taking Care of the Rings…
Your first thought on becoming best man may well be the fact that you have to organise the stag do but your best man duties do not end there. In fact you need to do something far more important than getting the groom drunk and that is remembering the wedding rings!
When you get given the rings, make sure you keep them in a secure location, and of course remember where you put them! The last thing you or anyone else wants on the wedding day is a frantic game of ‘hunt the wedding rings’.
Help out as much as possible at the wedding…
Although it is the best day of his life, the groom may be stressed so in order to keep stress levels to a minimum, try and take on as many tasks as possible. Make sure the groom, bride and immediate family members have drinks, organise the ushers, tame unruly children, plump cushions for the elderly who are sleeping and everything in between!
At the end of the day, the wedding should be remembered by all as a smooth, calm event and if there is any way you can help this to happen then do so – the groom will thank you in the long run!
