Frequently Asked Questions About Groomsmen
What do groomsmen do?
Groomsmen support the groom throughout the wedding process. They typically help plan the bachelor party, attend events, rent or buy attire, and stand beside the groom during the ceremony.
What should I buy for groomsmen gifts?
Great groomsmen gifts include personalized items like engraved flasks, leather wallets, toiletry bags, or custom accessories (like cufflinks or suspenders) they can wear at the wedding.
Do groomsmen have to match?
No, groomsmen don’t have to match exactly. Coordinated but not identical looks (like mismatched ties or socks) are a growing trend in modern weddings.
How many groomsmen should I have?
There’s no set number, but most weddings have 3 to 6 groomsmen. A good rule is to match the number of bridesmaids, but uneven numbers are totally fine too — it’s more about who matters to you.
Do groomsmen give a wedding gift?
Yes, it’s customary for groomsmen to give the couple a wedding gift, especially if they’re close friends or family. It doesn’t need to be expensive — group gifts are common.
Can my sister or female friend be a groomsman?
Absolutely! You can include women as groomsmen or “groomsmaids.” Your wedding party should reflect the people who matter most to you, regardless of gender.
