Fiance needs to ask his people!

My FH got them all funny dress socks (like beer or hot dog patterned, etc.) with a card that asked them. Pretty simple but they liked it.

There's really no rush, your wedding is a year away. He'll do it in his own time.

My fiance took months to ask and it was the topic of many fights since him asking was the start of a domino effect on other things that needed to be done. They do not seem to understand the priority of it overall and just think it can happen whenever. It was not until I got really upset and started crying since I was getting push back on other things from others that he made a move. So practice your fake crying?

You do have over a year until your wedding, maybe if he hasn’t asked by the 6 month mark you can start to get on him but he really has plenty of time. But yes, all men are like this lol

My FH just made letters that he handed to each of his guys. He asked his guys about 6 months into our engagement, so that was Dec 2017 for a Sept 2019 wedding. I would say if he doesn't ask by the end of summer then say something to him.

Oh gosh you all are so far out! I would say to start getting concerned when it is 8 months out.

Like other have said, your FH has plenty of time. Also, you say he knows who he wants and has "casually mentioned it." That sounds like he has already asked them. Just because you wanted to ask in a more formal way with cards and gifts doesn't mean he needs to.

100% yes. I asked mine within the first 6 months of planning. We are at 8 months til the big day now and i got tired of him saying hell do it, so made him do it with me there. The only person he hasn’t asked yet is his brother, which should come soon since his brothers son is a ring bearer!

It was one of the first things my FH did. He picked out his best man and asked him almost right away. We're using our sons as the groomsmen so they knew right away that they were in it

My Fiance was the same way. I think its something that they have control over so they want to do it on their time. It took me awhile to just let him handle his groomsmen bc I am so good at planning and wanted everything in order. At the end of the day, they understand how important this day is for us so they know it needs to be done.

Getting him to get the tux's together was a hassle but my father ended up betting my fiance he wouldn't get it done by a certain time and that helped get the ball going lol

Let this go. My FH has been driving me crazy about it, but it’s his deal. It really doesn’t have any impact on wedding planning and I think letting it go is practice for not micromanaging him about other relatively unimportant things once we’re married.

We are just about 6 months away and he has only asked one out of 4 of his. I have had it with attempting to get him to do what needs to be done, so I have completely stopped trying. It is now his issue. I have 6 bridemaids. All but one has actually gone to try on dresses with me and some of them have ordered their dresses. I keep telling him that he is leaving his guys with little to no time to get their clothing, ask for vacation (we all work in the same place), etc. But like I told him the other day, it is now his problem. And he knows the wrath he will face if sh** isn't done correctly the day of

My fiance took his two friends out for a drink and asked, and he just casually asked my brothers when we were all at my parents' house. He didn't do any gifts or anything. It was all pretty casual. I hounded him a little, but in retrospect I made it a bigger deal than it was. Unless your fiance is super irresponsible with other things as well, I would trust that he'll do it in his own time. Guys don't need suits until like 3-4 months out, and even that's on the early side.

I made funny cards online that said something like "I could have easily sent you a text, but my (future) wife made me get you this card...." and on the inside it said "will you be my groomsman?"

And yes, they're all like this I think....haha. I'm also really close with all the groomsmen (we've all been friends for like 10 years) so they all thought it was funny and texted me when we got that cards and said yes and thank you.
