Man of honor

Ashley, on July 24, 2019 at 2:53 PM Posted in Planning 0 11
So we finally discussed our bridal party and he wants 5 groomsmen! I only have 3 people that i must have. So after much thought i figured out my other two for my side..... BUT I would want my brother to be my man of honor.
Has anyone else had a man on their side? I dont know the 1st thing to do with a guy on my side. Please give me tips!

    We've been debating if we want 2 or 3 people. We were considering a bridesman for me. Honestly treat him the same you would the maids, dress him like the groomsmen if you want.

    Why do you need to do anything different just because he’s a guy? I would also avoid adding people just because. There’s no reason the sides have to be even.

    My FH is having his sister as one of his groomsladies because they are very close. We are inviting her to everything and letting her pick what she wants to go to (bachelorette party vs bachelor party, getting ready, etc.). I say go for it and just treat him how you would any other maid! Ask him what he is comfortable with and go from there.

    So my groomsmen were all in suspenders and a white dress shirt with mint bow ties . My bridesmaids were in pink dresses. I had my bridesman wear the same thing as my groomsmen except he had a pink bow tie instead.

    I agree with Caytlyn. You don't need to do anything differently for a guy, plus it's totally okay to have uneven bridal parties Smiley smile

    I have a bridesman! And his role as with your Man of Honor should be the same as any MOH

    My brother is my bridesman. He’ll get ready with the groomsmen and he’ll walk my mom down the aisle.

    So we had a mixture on both sides. I had two bridesmen, and DH had one groomswoman. We treated them all the same; because the groomswoman is actually the girlfriend for one of my bridesmen, they both went on the bachelor party, and had I had a bachelorette, they both would have come to that. With the gifts, the bridesmen got the same as the groomsmen, and the groomswoman got the same as the bridesmaids. As far as attire, we had the bridesmen in the same tux as the groomsmen, but had them wear a green shirt and black tie instead of the groomsmen who wore white shirts and green ties. The bridesmaids had green dresses, and the groomswoman had a green skirt with a white top.

    (I currently want him to chill out on the bachelorette planning, but that's only because he's overly excited.)
