Preparing a wedding can be very stressful. That is why a couple will need all the help they can get. Of course, who else will be there to lend a helping hand — plus arms and legs, too? Close family members and friends are always ready and willing to share their time to make the wedding as beautiful as possible. Even if they don’t have time, they will make the extra time to assist a friend in need.

While many couples prefer to get a professional wedding planner, not all couples can afford one. Still some who can afford the services would like to do it on their own — using their own ideas to plan their own dream wedding. This is perfectly alright, especially if you have lots of friends to back you up. While the Maid of Honor and the Best Man have special responsibilities before, during and after the event, you can also ask other close friends to help you in your special day.

After the couple checks the final prints of the invitations, female friends can take care of sending them to the guests. They can also be the ones to accept the RSVPs as well as to contact those guests who did not send a reply. This way, you can confirm the final guest count less the stress. If the couple has special requests regarding gifts, these friends can also drop subtle hints to the guests. Many guests may be at lost regarding what to give, so a little help can be well appreciated. Of course, we know that proper etiquette warns against having the couple talk about wedding gifts to their guests themselves. This is where your female friends can come to help.

Male friends, on the other hand, can serve as the ushers during the event, helping guests find their seats. To be able to perform this task efficiently, they should be informed about who the guests are and where they must be seated. They should also know which seats are reserved for special guests and which ones are open for everyone. It is also important that they should arrive at the ceremony earlier than the guests.

Your friends may not expect gifts from you for all the assistance they offered, but it is good practice to buy them gifts as tokens of your appreciation. It will be better if you give them something that they can use during the event. You can give small pouch bags to the ladies in colors matching the event’s motif, while you can get wedding party cufflinks engraved with ‘best friends’ for the men.

To save on costs, you can buy the bags and the cufflinks in bulk. You can order similar gift items for your bride’s maids and groom’s men. You can vary the design of the bags a bit or add some accents like gems or pearls. On the cufflinks, you can change the words engraved on them. You may even give both your dads their own pairs that say ‘the real best man’ or ‘best dad’. It will not only be a great gift to the important people in your lives, but it will also serve as one of the things creating a nice personal touch to your wedding.
