Top Business Advice to Authors

Following on from posts on Best Man duties the week before the wedding, and the duties of a Best Man on the day of the wedding, we continue the duties theme by having a look at duties that should be completed 3 months before the wedding day.

1.  Have the Bachelor Party arranged.

Have the final number of attendees confirmed so you can finalize travel and accommodation arrangements.If you stilll did not heard back from someone who has been invited give them a call to see if they are able to attend, once you have exact numbers confirmed pass this information on to the hotel. Ideally you should have the Bachelor Party taking place 2 months or so before the wedding day.

2. Ensure wedding accommodation is secured for the other Groomsmen.

If you have Groomsmen attending the wedding who are not from the area be sure that they have accommodation for the event. You may want to discuss with the Groom to see if he has any family members or friends from far afield that might be seeking accommodation themselves and assist in organizing this for them.

3.  Begin writing your speech.

There is a reason why 3 months before the wedding? Because your speech is the single most important duty you have to perform, it is how you will be judged in the eyes of many people. Irrespective of whether you aim to write a funny Best Man speech or a short Best Man speech begin planning early so that by the time the wedding day arrives you have it perfected and ready to deliver with style.

4.  Arrange a wedding gift on behalf of the Groomsmen.

While the Best Man and Groomsmen may be accompanied to the wedding by their wives/girlfriends and thus already have a gift in mind for the Groom as a couple, it is also a nice idea for the Groomsmen and Best Man to come up with their own gift for the Groom. This need not be expensive but the more unique and personalized the better so spend time finding the best gift and have fun in presenting the Groom with a memento of the day.

5.  Get in contact with the Bride and Maid of Honor.

This is just optional, you courtesy will be greatly appreciated by both the Bride and Maid of Honor if you make contact with them to tell them that both yourself and the Groomsmen are available should the Bride’s party need assistance in any way.

Having as many tasks completed as soon as possible will ensure you don’t have a mountain of Best Man tasks and duties to perform as the wedding day draws nearer, allowing you to enjoy the build-up to the wedding and providing you with the time to rehearse your Best Man speech.
