When I was given the job of organising my best friend’s stag party I was a bit worried but I needn’t have been because it was a roaring success. Organising this stag party was actually quite easy despite my apprehension so if you are worried about this job, don’t be; provided you do it right, it will be a breeze. Anyway, I thought that I’d share some tips so that other people might be able to copy my successful approach.
If you plan to be getting married in the near future you will want to start thinking about who is going to be your best man. This is an important decision and if you get it wrong it could take away from the big day. A lot of men will automatically call on their best friend to take care of this job but for some people this is never going to be the right choice. You really want to have the right person beside you on the day and looking after things like the speech and the stag party so the tips below should help you to make the right decision.
Whether you’re new to buying presents for women or experienced at it, it can still be daunting trying to shop for your girlfriend’s birthday gift. After all, what if she doesn’t like it? We’ve put together a guide of great gift ideas she’s sure to love no matter what her taste. Of course, as she’s a woman, her taste is bound to include chocolate. While chocolate should never be the only present you get her, it can be a great accompaniment to the main gift, especially if it’s an expensive box.

As Wedding MC you’re almost certain to be asked to introduce the speakers, although you may not give a speach yourself. Often the Best Man also acts as Master of Ceremonies, in which case you will definitely be expected to make a speech (at the groom’s expense, naturally).
There are two main things you should do to make sure things run smoothly, both of which require a bit of preparation – I probably don’t need to say that you should rehearse your speech prior to the big day if you’ve been asked to give one.
The best man speeches isn’t the only thing the Best Man does in a wedding. Make sure you check with the couple to be sure on exactly what you’re expected to do. You don’t want to be surprised with having to drive if you’ve already hit the open bar. A lot of the Best Man’s duties take place well before the wedding. As a very prominent figure in the Groom’s life, it’s up to you to be the best source of moral support he can find without having to buy a self help book.
