Groomsmen/bridesmaid duties

Courtney, on May 24, 2018 at 21:16 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 8

What are the things you're asking your bridal party to help out with on the day of your wedding?

I'll be asking the groomsmen to help seat people as we don't have ushers, and to ask people to sit to start the ceremony. But that's it really.

Am I missing something?

    Our wedding party helped us by giving out the programs out to the guests before the wedding.

    MOHs put together with other girls a buck & buck for us.

    We are also asking our groomsmen to turn on the lights in the reception area, and since we are using the same decor for ceremony and reception, the bridesmaids will be bringing that into the reception area.

    I have also heard from friends that they didn't eat or drink enough on the wedding day, so I plan on having someone from our wedding party bring us some snacks and water to our photo location.

    My MOH will also be in contact with the venue, just in case they need to make a call on indoors or outdoors or if something (hopefully nothing though!) goes not as planned.

    Some duties we have requested from our wedding party are as followed:

    Best man - In charge of Cards, Money, Guestbook table

    Groomsmen - No duties (I just need them to focus on their processional entrance lol)

    MOH - In charge of fixing my dress, and keeping all the bridesmaids together

    Bridesmaids - No duties (they have helped a lot with wedding preparations)

    I have my cousin who isn't a part of the wedding party be an usher, he will help seat guest, and hand out program cards.

    I will mostly likely have everyone in my wedding party help with the breakdown of rental items we need to return to our vendors after the reception. The venue staff will do all the other breakdown and clean up of the event. Other then that I just want my wedding party to enjoy my wedding and have a good time Smiley smile.

    We're basically asking our wedding party to pay attention to everything LOL

    Help people park, direct them to the location (it's a bit of walk from the parking), making sure they have parking passes.

    Then one of the groomsmen is in charge of ushering people into the chapel for the ceremony, reminding about cellphone policies and then helping the photographer with directing and organizing family for photos

    Then they're going to carry the rings, our speeches and other things that we might need.

    And my bridesmaids are ensuring the reception area is set up properly.

    Our groomsmen will help sest people and remind them that it's a cellphone free service. The best man will hand out checks and be in charge of showing family members to the photographer so she sort of knows who to include in photos.
    My MOH will be bustling my dress, helping me pee, and collecting the cards at the end of the night.

    NOTHING. Unfortunately, I don't trust my fiance's boys AT ALL. They all have a lot of maturing to do still, and they think being in the wedding party is...well, just a party... Thankfully, his Best Woman will be a huge help, and my Man of Honour and bridesmaids are amazing, as well as both of our families, so we should be able to handle most things ourselves...

    I find duties to be a bit of a weird thing. I'm two months to the wedding and I'm still not sure what to ask of anyone. We decided not to hire a dj so I had my bridesmaids pick the music. That way it'll still be a surprise but picked by people that really care about me. We have the groomsmen doing some hall set up as well as welcoming guests when they arrive. I think the best thing to do is figure of what everyone is good at and giving them tasks based on that just to take some stress away from you

    I had the groomsmen in charge of things like giving tip money to people (we prepped them in advance and gave it to one of the groomsmen we trusted most). We also had them in charge of seating people at the reception so it went a bit quicker. As people looked at the seating chart, we had a groomsman to point or walk them over, as most came at the same time. Otherwise, I would just pull them when I needed them to do little tasks that happened to come up the day of (like emptying the limo of our bottles/trash and going to help fix the photobooth).
