As these friends of your fianc\u00e9 may live down the street or in another part of the country, it can be logistically-challenging to help these guys show up for the wedding day wearing the right attire.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that this is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/planning\/engagement\/feature\/article\/175577\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one duty that is ripe for your fianc\u00e9<\/a>. Since you may want to know what might be involved, this article covers the bases.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important to let your fianc\u00e9\u2019s best man and groomsmen know what is expected of them, and what it will cost, leading up to wedding day. (This applies equally to your bridesmaids and maid of honor.) This might include your wedding details and when they are expected to arrive at your wedding, as well as your plans for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/travel\/destination_weddings\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">destination wedding<\/a> if that\u2019s being contemplated. There is an evolving tradition that the best man and groomsmen are on the hook for paying for their wedding attire rental, which can run upwards of $100. Add that to the cost of getting to your wedding, lodging, food and a wedding gift, and your wedding can be expensive for these guys. Not every best man and groomsman can afford to attend your wedding without budgeting for it, as much as they\u2019re great friends of your fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have figured out what the male attendants will be wearing, you\u2019ll need to provide an easy way for the groomsmen to collect their wedding attire, or take measurements if you\u2019re planning on buying or ordering the attire for them. This is no simple task, as measurements taken too early or incorrectly will result in ill-fitting clothing come wedding day. More than one groomsman has shed or added pounds in the time between getting measured for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/fashion\/tuxedos\/guide\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his tuxedo<\/a> and picking it up at the rental shop. Furthermore, it always seems like there is one groomsman who takes longer than expected to get his tuxedo order filed with the rental shop. Make sure your fianc\u00e9 stays on top of this.<\/p>\n<p>While you and your fianc\u00e9 are not traditionally responsible for helping out-of-town groomsman find lodging, it\u2019ll be helpful for them and will reduce pre-wedding stress for you to know where they are staying. Make sure your fianc\u00e9 has this on his list.<\/p>\n<p>Providing the groomsmen with a wedding day itinerary that is tailored to your wedding will be invaluable for them. While dates and times change, by creating such an itinerary and sending it to them early enough, you\u2019ll have framed the wedding weekend for them.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, make sure to let the best man know whether he\u2019ll be asked to make a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brides.com\/planning\/weddingparty\/feature\/article\/178142\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wedding speech or wedding toast<\/a> (as the case may be). Wedding speeches are stressful enough without the added surprise of being called upon by the wedding MC unexpectedly. \u2014 Michael Arnot, Founder, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groomgroove.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Groom Groove<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Send him to GroomGroove.com <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groomgroove.com\/groomville\/grooms_duties_groomsmen.php\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">to make sure your fianc\u00e9 knows how to keep his groomsmen organized<\/a>.
