Wedding Groomsmen

A groomsman is first someone who is important to the groom, and whom the groom wants to be a visible part of his wedding. He may be a good friend, brother, cousin or father. It’s quite common these days for your groomsman to be a she; more men are asking female friends to be part of their attendants.

It can be quite expensive being a groomsman, you could be up for things including cost of apparel, travel, and hotel room for the ceremony, hosting a stag party, as well as the gifts. A groomsman should have these expenses in mind when he accepts the honour and be up front with the groom about what he is and isn’t able to afford. Once he has agreed to be a groomsman, however, he shouldn’t complain about the cost. (As long as the groom was upfront with you!)
