Lets face it, the best man usually gets away without having to do anything other than just being there for a good friend, but being a best man means more than just planning the bachelor party. The best man has suggested responsibilities just like any other significant person in the wedding party, and if you happen to be committed to being the “best” best man you can be for your friend, then here are some great ideas on how you can not only be helpful, but also take your job seriously.

1.) Plan and host the bachelor party. This is usually the first responsibility of the best man, and it just happens to be the responsibility that everyone is familiar with.

2.) Help the groom choose and purchase a gift for the bride to give to her on their wedding day.

3.) Make sure the groom has the bride’s wedding band and the marriage license with him on the day of the wedding. It is your responsibility to hold the bride’s wedding band during the ceremony.

4.) Perform any tasks or errands the groom or the bride’s mother may have for you on the big day, even if they seem minuscule, it is important that you perform them promptly and to the best of your ability.

5.) Help the groom dress for the big day (assist with his tie, cuff links, etc.) Remember: He’s going to be nervous, so he’ll need your help with a lot of things.

6.) If there is a ring bearer in the wedding, it is the responsibility of the best man to make sure the child knows his responsibilities and where to stand on the big day. Remember small children have stage fright, so do what you can to put the child at ease and assure him that you’ll be at the end of the aisle waiting for him.

7.) Confirm that all the men in the wedding party have their boutonni
