Best Man


Penguin Suit Hire 		Being asked to be the Best Man is a great honour and usally reflects a longstanding friendship.

The best man usally knows that he gets to organise the bucks night and to try and not lose the wedding rings.  He also gets to give a speech, so make sure you choose the person who will not incriminate, or embarass you too much.  I hope its not too late?

The Best Man has number of tasks in the months leading up to the Wedding Day, and on the Day itself. Below is a list of the Traditional Best Man's Responsibilities.
  • Helping the Groom co-ordinate the Wedding Day in the previous month

  • Organising the Bucks Night celebrations

  • Arrange for all Groomsmen and Ushers to be fitted for their tuxedo's

  • Making sure the Groomsmen and Ushers know their roles on the Wedding Day

  • Be the Groom's right hand man on the day of the Ceremony, helping him dress and deal with his panic attacks!

  • Be responsible for getting the Groom to the Church (ie sober and early!)

  • Make sure that all is going as close to plan as possible on the day

  • Be in charge of the Wedding Rings and Marriage Licence

  • Make sure the drinks for the photographs are organised. (Beer, Champaigne and Orange Juice, and whatever else)

  • At the Reception, give a Speech and toast the Bride and Groom.
