What does the best man and maid of honour pay at the wedding and what are their obligations?

05/08/2024 | Wedding Ideas & Tips

Are you going to marry your precious friend, your best friend and you don’t know what the best man is paying? At Mon Amour we have researched and compiled the basic expenses of the best man so that you can prepare yourself properly and stand worthily next to your best friend who is getting married. If you have been asked to be a best man or best man, it means that the couple has you very high up in their lives as you are the person who loves the couple, and supports them to move forward in harmony. As – as we’ve heard – there can be misunderstandings about best man expenses, we’ve researched and found the most common expenses and responsibilities of a best man.

Groomsmen’s Obligations in the Ceremony and Customs

The most basic responsibility of the best man during the ceremony is to stand behind the couple, and to change the crowns and rings. Of course in cases where there are two or more best men the responsibilities are shared. By now, the best men also have the following roles in the wedding:

  • Take over the Bachelor party
    Best men often arrange the bachelor party together with the couple’s friends. We suggest you gather ideas to make pleasant surprises for the couple that they will remember for years. Just be careful not to forget! The wedding is the couple’s wedding, and their wishes must be taken into account, so don’t overdo it if you’re not sure!
  • Psychological support in preparation
    The best man and best woman are with the bride and groom during the preparation for the church. Good mood, good humor will dramatically help to eliminate any trace of preparation stress.
  • Final Show at the party
    Of course, at the post-wedding celebrations, it is often the best men who get the people dancing on the dance floor. Remember that this is a night to be enjoyed and remembered. Good company is the secret recipe for a unique celebration until the morning!

What the best man or maid of honour pays at the wedding

The best man and the best woman, along with the office that will marry the couple, also assume some expenses of the wedding. Below we bring together what the best man and maid of honour usually pay for in a wedding.

  • Wedding Crowns
    The crowns, in essence, symbolize the royal crowns, as the bride and groom will now be the king and queen in their household. As a best man, you can take a walk with the couple and choose their wedding crowns. Here you can read some tips for choosing wedding wreaths, or order online directly from our online store
  • Wedding candles and church and car decoration
    The candles that will be burned in the church, the decoration of the church and the car that will take the bride to the wedding are the groomsmen’s expenses. Of course, because not everyone has the same financial capacity, don’t forget as a best man to discuss with the couple about your available budget and move accordingly. After all, what matters is whether you spend a lot on decorations but the value you “bond” with the couple as best man or bridesmaid.
  • Wedding set
    The wedding set is essentially a tray, a decanter to hold the wine, a wine glass for the church and two glasses of champagne for the wedding reception.
  • Ceremony expenses
    Ceremony costs refer to the costs of the church, which varies from church to church
  • Wedding couple gift
    Just as the couple gets a gift for the best man, the best man gets a gift for the couple. Here you can either help financially with the honeymoon or get the new couple something for the house or a unique keepsake that they will keep forever.
