The Best Man and Usher Role
The Best Man Role
The best man role is typically given to the groom’s brother, close family member, or best friend. The best man is usually the chief attendant of the groom at the wedding. His job is taking some of the stress off the groom. The best man is involved in the wedding preparations right from the start. He is required to carry out important jobs such as booking the transport for the entire day, carrying the rings, arranging the stag party, and delivering a good speech at the wedding!How to Ask Someone to Be Your Best Man
‘Will you be my best man?’ wedding cards are a great way of asking someone to be part of your special day. They make a great keepsake, plus you can customise the cards with your own wording. Here are some examples of the wording you could use:‘A special request – will you do me the honour of being my best man?’
‘I only get to make one decision in this wedding, so I had to choose carefully. Will you be my best man?’
‘I would be honoured if you would be my best man. Would you?’
‘You’re important to me, so I need you by my side on the most important day of my life. Will you be my best man?’
‘My wedding day wouldn’t be the same without you; will you be my best man?’
These best man cards are available from The Card Gallery. They can be fully personalised both inside and out. They come with free delivery too!

The Usher Role
The ushers are chosen by the groom and his best man. They are usually brothers, close relatives, or friends of the bride and groom. The best man is responsible for ensuring the ushers know their duties. As a general guide, you should have one usher per every fifty guests attending. Wedding ushers are generally in charge of seating guests and directing them to parking spaces, bathrooms, and dining rooms.How to Ask Someone to Be Your Usher
Ask someone to be your usher with a ‘Will you be my Usher?’ card. You can play on the best man wording examples listed above when asking someone to be your usher. You can match the message with a small gift – a fun idea you can use with your best man-to-be, as well. There’s a lot of choice, from tankards to cufflinks!
