If you are busy with your wedding planning, then you maybe at the point where you need to consider who the members of your wedding party will be. Your wedding party will consist of the brides attendants - maid of honor, bridesmaids and flower girls and pageboys; the groom will be attended by the best man and ushers. But what exactly are their roles before, during after your wedding? Here is a quick guide to help you out: Maid of Honor Choose a close friend or family member who you can rely on to help you make sure everything goes smoothly. The maid of honors duties will include: â€Arranging the bachelorette party â€Organizing the bridal shower â€Looking after any monies that may need to be on the wedding day â€Help the bride get prepared and dressed â€Help the bride stay relaxed, happy and stress free â€Take care of the younger bridesmaids, flower girls and page boys â€Arranging the bride’s veil once she arrives at the ceremony â€Holding the brides bouquet during the service Best Man Again your best man should be a close friend or family and someone who you can trust and rely on. The best man’s responsibilities include: â€Organizing the bachelor party and taking care of the groom during it â€Ensuring the groom arrives at the ceremony on time â€Organizing the ushers and making sure they know their responsibilities â€Looking after the rings â€Make announcements at the reception and direct the guests to their tables â€Give a best man’s speech at the reception and read out messages from absent guests â€Organize the transport for the happy couple after the reception â€Collect and return any hired suits after the wedding day Ushers Your ushers can be any friends or family you like and whom you know will be willing to help out on the wedding day. Their roles will usually include: â€Handing out the wedding programs at the ceremony and directing the guests to their seats â€Taking care of the bride’s mother and the grooms parents â€Helping the best man with his responsibilities â€Arrive before the groom at the ceremony venue and sort out all the facilities â€Answer any questions guests may have â€After the ceremony make sure all guests know where the reception is and have taken all their belongings with them The people you choose to stand alongside you in your wedding party are really a personal choice and whilst most couples will instantly choose close friends or family, it really is worth thinking about whether they are the right person for the job. Make sure that whoever you pick is reliable, supportive and trustworthy. There could be no bigger disaster than the best man not turning up or forgetting the rings or the maid of honor getting drunk on champagne before you even reach the ceremony. If you are worried about offending someone, try to find other roles for them instead, such as readings at the service, being in charge of the presents or guestbook, or being witnesses. Remember good friends will respect your choices and will understand your reasons.
