Help - don't want to be in the way!

Samantha has good suggestions. Other than getting yourself ready and to the ceremony location on time (hopefully your will have your own transportation), you have no responsibilities for that day. Plan on bringing some stuff to keep yourself occupied and/or find something to do locally. Enjoy and don't worry.

If you feel comfortable doing this, maybe also offer any help with errands etc. Yes, Samantha and Maggie have good suggestions.

FBIL got married a couple years ago, and my other FBIL gets married this Sunday.

For FBIL 1's wedding all the groomsmen got ready at FIL's house where me and FH were living at the time, morning of the wedding I woke up wicked early to get a shower in and not delay the groom or groomsmen (we were all sharing one bathroom) I then took a Dunkin Donuts order and went and grabbed breakfast for everyone, then came back ate breakfast alone in my room and got myself ready for the wedding then just stood outside and watched them take pictures before I headed to the venue.

For FBIL 2, I'm actually super stressed out cause FBIL 2 and FSIL aren't very organized and they themselves have no idea what they're doing. FBIL2 and FSIL are staying with us this week as they live in FL and are getting married in CT, I know FSIL and her girls are staying at a hotel Saturday night, but have no clue if FBIl2 and Groomsmen are staying at our house or getting ready at our house or what. But if they're staying at our house the plans the same as FBIL1 (we only have one bathroom in our new house) and FSIL1 and I will drive to the wedding together.

Men typically do not take the same time to get ready as women, so it's possible the morning of may not be as hectic or isolating as you may think. Chances are, you and your FH will both start getting ready at the same time!

This sounds like a fun idea! Thank you!

I was thinking about transportation as well and I think I'm going to either take an uber or have family pick me up (that are not in the wedding and will be staying at near by hotels). Thank you for the suggestions!

Thank you for sharing! I like the idea of getting an order and running out to pick it up! It'll make me feel useful and also get me out of the house and not feel like I'm in the way!

Not sure how close you are with the bride, but my best friend had a similar situation where 2 friends of the groom flew in for her wedding and the guy was a groomsman and the girl was not in the bridal party. We let her hang out with us! She was a HUGE help, she went and got us some food and coffee, she helped us with making sure everything was organized and ready to go. While we got our hair and makeup done at the salon, she stayed back in the room and got herself ready, then met us at the bridal suite to help my best friend in her wedding gown as she wanted to do a first look with us. She also helped one of the bridesmaids fix her hair as she wasn't happy with what the stylist did. If you aren't close with the bride, you can still help the groomsmen out I'm sure! I find that some men who don't dress up frequently have no idea how to tie a tie, so if you're good with doing that or you can watch a YouTube video, I'm sure that would be a big help. Or as someone else said, just take the day for you! You can really do whatever you want to do because you have no responsibilities.
