The best man duties include more than just planning the bachelor party. Actually, the best man has one of the most important roles in a wedding - You are the groom's right-hand man!

Some of the duties for the Best Man are:

  • Coordinate a couples shower with the maid of honor.
  • Plan and pay for the bachelor party with the help of the groomsmen.
  • Picture of best man holding bride's ring before wedding.
  • Rent or buy a tux.
  • Make sure the groomsmen and ushers get their tux on time.
  • Attend all prewedding parties and events.
  • Attend the rehearsal dinner.
  • Make sure the groom gets to the church on time.
  • Be on time for all prewedding photos.
  • Keep the bride's wedding ring until the ring exchange.
  • Escort the maid-of-honor down the aisle.
  • Deliver the officiant's fee before or after the ceremony.
  • Make sure all guests have transportation to the reception.
  • Make the first toast to the bride and groom.
  • Dance with the bride, maid of honor and other bridesmaids.
  • Arrange transportation for the bride and groom.
