Duties of the Groomsmen at a Wedding

The Groomsmen are usually the bride and groom’s brothers, cousins or close friends who are there to assist the groom with any activities he may need help with

Duties of the Groomsmen

1. Assist the Best Man with hosting the bachelor’s party
2. Attend the rehearsal
3. Arrive for fitting/ appointments at scheduled time
4. Assist the groom with any specific activities he designates 
5. Help the Best Man decorate the getaway car
6. Arrive punctually for ceremony/reception
7. Mingle with the guests, perform introductions, ensure the bar is running smoothly
8. Dance with the bridesmaids

The Groomsmen are expected to 

1. Pay for their wedding attire and accessories 
2. Pay for their travel (if from out of town). Lodging expenses are ordinarily borne by the groom but it can vary.

Additionally, remember…

1. If the groomsmen will be renting their tuxedos, it is preferable they do it from the same shop, so that the styles or shades don’t differ drastically.
2. If you’re having an outdoor reception/ceremony and it’s likely to be warm, the male attendants should consider wearing vests with full backs so that they can safely knock off their coats.
