Best Man and Usher Duties

The best man helps put on the "bachelor party" and organizes the purchase of a gift for the groom with money collected from the ushers. Helps the bride in organizing the transportation for the bridal party. Helps pack and keeps the couple's luggage safe before their Honeymoon. He keeps all Honeymoon plans secret. And most importantly, cares for the bride's ring until the groom is ready to place it on his bride's finger.

The Ushers assist in seating all guests. Therefore it is important to have enough Ushers for the number of guests you plan on attending. Roughly one Usher for every 30-40 guests is required to seat the ceremony. Remember that the bride's friends and family are seated on the left side and the grooms on the right. If the seating is uneven, the Ushers can place these guests in open seats. The Usher escorts female guests by lending them their right arm.
