Bridesman and Groomsmaid
National Weddings Month, with Valentine’s Day on the fourteenth, make February the most romantic time of the year! According to the US Census Bureau and Time.com, over 200,000 marriage proposals are made and on average, almost 6,000 couples tie the knot on Valentine’s Day!
The tradition of wedding attendants—bridesmaids and groomsmen, maid/matron of honor and best man—has its roots in the distant past. Today, new non-traditional roles have become increasingly popular: the bridesman (a very good male friend of the bride) and the groomswoman or groomsmaid (a very good female friend of the groom). Ceremonies are often progressive than the past, allowing a bride and groom to stand at the altar supported by all their friends and favorite relations regardless of gender.
We offers the following tips for groomsmaids and bridesmen:
- Typically, the bridesman will be asked to wear a suit or tuxedo with some element, like a tie or boutonniere, that ooordinates with the color of the bridesmaids’ dresses. A groomsmaid may be asked to wear a tailored suit to match the groomsmen. Be gracious in accepting the outfit chosen for you.
- Smile and be your most charming self, especially during the reception. Remember, part of your role is to greet and entertain guests when the bride and groom are otherwise engaged.
- Be helpful and stay friendly with the other attendants in your group.
- Never be tardy and always cone prepared.
