This is not a walk in the park - the groom must take into consideration the preferred venue, after all. The more popular the venue, the earlier and faster it gets booked. When working on a budget, it is important to note that it is less expensive to get married on a weekday or out of season - wedding service providers are all too pleased to have income during these times. Venues that have vacant dates in the very near future also charge less simply to fill the slot. To be clear we are not saying the bride should not have input, we are just saying let’s put this on the groom’s list to check off.

Coordinate Groomsmen Attire

In addition to the groom’s attire, he should set up fittings for tuxedo rentals for the wedding. He should make sure everyone has the necessary accessories (i.e. vest, tie, matching shoes & socks). He should also arrange to have the tuxedos returned to the store the next business day after the wedding.

Choosing the best man and groomsmen naturally falls to the groom.

The best man can be the closest male relative of the groom - if there's none, the groom's best friend would also be perfect. Some opt for the latter as an initial preference anyway. The groom will need the best man's help not only on the day itself but also during preparations. Of course, the groom must make sure that the bride finds his best man acceptable. The groomsmen are usually the close friends of the groom.

In today's day and age there really are no set roles and no rules on who is supposed to do what. It is probably best if both the Bride and Groom discuss and agree on all aspects of their wedding. However, divide and conquer is a sound strategy so make a big list and then decide on who is doing what. The list above can be considered just one author's recommendations.
