Groomsman Wedding
The Wedding Date: How to Care for Yours When you're a Groomsman
Help. I'm a groomsman in a friend's wedding and will be bringing my girlfriend who won't know a soul. I really want her to like my friends and have a good time but how do I do this when I'm busy doing all the stuff that groomsmen do?
Let's face it. When you're a groomsman, it's enough just to get done all the things you ‘re expected to get done, be at the places you need to be and on time, and dressed the way you should be dressed without having to worry about taking care of your date.
However, there are a number of things you can do in advance to help her feel more comfortable which will make the day more enjoyable and memorable for the both of you:
- Ask the bride for a schedule of events, including when you will be busy, venue names and addresses, directions, how the wedding party will be getting to each venue, and seating arrangements for the reception.
Just knowing the times you will be busy will help manage both of your expectations. If the wedding party will be traveling together to the different venues, you will need to ensure she has transportation. It would also be good to give her directions. While she may not need venue directions, she'll feel more confident having them should something not go as planned. If you will not be able to sit together at the reception, you will need to ensure she is introduced to people who she can sit with at the reception until you are free.
- Find out if she is invited to the rehearsal dinner. If she is, this is a perfect time to introduce her to the dates/spouses/significant others of other wedding party members or family members she can sit with at the reception. It's also a good place to arrange any rides she may need to the different venues.
- Ask her if she will need to change clothing during the day. If she will, find a place for her to do this. Don't tell her to go to the room where the bride is getting ready as one groomsman did. It was awkward for everyone.
- If there are significant gaps when you will be busy, think through with her how she would like to spend that time. If the wedding is in an interesting location, she may want to explore the sites or if she is a bit of an introvert, she may want to find a quiet place to read.
Weddings are fun. It's an honor to have been asked to be a groomsman. Your first obligation is to the bride and groom as it is their special day. However, it's also important to be thoughtful about your date. After all, the next wedding you may be attending together may be the both of yours.

What do you do if a groomsman backs out two weeks before the Wedding?
My daughter has two brides maids. She had two groomsmen. one for each, to walk them down the isle. Now, one said he's not going to do it!
First, I think I would try to find out why he is backing out. It could be a financial problem because Tux, etc., are pretty expensive to rent. If you can't do anything with him, replace him. When you sit down, relax and ponder the situation, I'll just bet you can replace him easily. Try not to stress about the situation too much. Things like this have a way of working themselves out.
