Wedding planning: How to Select Your Top Quality Groomsmen.

Choosing your groomsmen can be very tasking and delicate. Extra consideration and research need to be put in place for such enormous tasked. Your best buddies, college roommates, brothers, cousins, and even long-lost elementary school friends may be vying for the coveted position of best man. It's a tough task, but here's how it's done i hope you find them helpful.

 

What your number?

You can choose as many groomsmen as you like. The groomsmen are often multitasking, doubling as ushers and seating the guests. (In general, you'll need one usher for every 50 guests.) But, the lads also escort the bridesmaids down the aisle, so you may want to keep the boy/girl ratio even, although that's up to you and your fiancé. If you decide to have just a few groomsmen but would like to include more friends or male relatives, get them in on the action by having them just seat your guests. That way you'll be able to include everyone and avoid bitter comments at the reception.

What about siblings?

The choice is yours and yours alone, right? Well, the choice of best man should be yours, but your bride may have her heart set on a favourite brother as groomsman. As long as you can stand the guy, you'd do well to play along. The opposite is true too: If you'd like your favourite sister to serve as bridesmaid, your bride will probably agree. Verse versa

Best Man?

Who to pick for the sought after role of best man? Well, he should have a modicum of taste, since he'll make the first toast at the reception and you’d probably prefer that he avoid any inappropriate remarks. He should be responsible, since he'll hold the wedding ring until you slip it onto your new wife's finger. He should be fun, since it's his job to organize the bachelor party. Choose someone who's an active part of your life and your fiancé’s.

My Advice

It's best to have a comfortable presence beside you before, during, and after the wedding ceremony. With this in mind, pick someone who won't forget the ring or show up with a raging hangover or try to hit on your fiancé’s younger sister.
