Your Quest
You have been selected as members of a distinct group designed to practice the duties of Groomsmen. You are distinguished in friendship, vibes, and skills in the art of Super Smash Bros. Melee. and will now use these skills to accompany Zack on his wedding day.
This is no small task. You will be asked to face many challenges, and some of you may not survive. At the end of this quest, should you succeed, you will be praised and showered with riches and glory. If you fail… well… we won’t talk about that.
Below is a list of responsibilities, if you shall accept them. (Some examples courtesy The Black Tux and Wedding Wire)
Everyone loves a good party and even though planning the bachelor party is, traditionally, a best man duty, that doesn’t mean the other groomsmen can’t lend a hand. If you all work together, it’ll be a night or weekend you’ll never forget. If you don’t help planning, it’s nice to chip in funds to the festivities.
Because this wedding date has moved up, and social distancing is a thing, we will be having the party after the wedding probably. Work together to plan this and it’ll be great fun for everyone involved.
It’s important that you’re looking spiffy in everything we’re doing. We have a list prepared for you later on this site full of everything you will need.
With a life outside the upcoming nuptials, getting the couple a wedding gift may slip your mind—but it’s customary for members of the wedding party, including the groomsmen, to bestow a present on the couple. If you’re not sure what to get them, check out their registry and find something that they can use together.
One of the main duties of the wedding party is to keep their friend or family member calm and collected before and during the ceremony—so groomsmen are tasked with the groom. Contrary to popular belief, grooms can get nervous in the hours leading up to their wedding, so groomsmen should try and keep him relaxed in the hours prior to “I do”.
Make sure you have every piece of groomsmen attire before leaving for the venue. You don’t want to forget your necktie or shoes at home. Once the wedding day arrives, you’ll get dressed with the groom, share a toast, and likely take a few pictures while his significant other is doing the same.
You’re walking a bridesmaid down the aisle. It’s not a hard job, but we’re not having a rehearsal, so…
Your Gear
The Shirt
Light blue shirts are all the rage at this wedding, and they make up the official uniform for all groomsmen in attendance. Please be sure to order the “light blue” color. These are all Prime Wardrobe, so they offer free returns within 7 days if it doesn’t fit.
Also, be careful because there is major shrinkage after washing because they are 100% linen, so size up.
The Pants
Khaki pants are cool, but British Khaki pants are even cooler.
Please try these on before the big day because reviews say the sizing may be inconsistent.
The Tie
You’ll be looking dapper in this fine knit tie, and it’s free as a thank you for being an awesome groomsman.
The Shoes
Have a pair of brown shoes? Now is your chance to wear them. Yay.
Don’t have a pair? Text me. I have some recommendations for affordable and quality options.
The Belt
BYOB! – Bring Your Own Belt
Grab a brown belt that matches your shoes, or borrow one of mine.
