One of the best parts of your wedding day is having your closest friends and family stand beside you as you say I do. It’s a deeply personal decision, and no two lineups are decided the same way. You might opt for a bevy of your closest friends, or stick to just family—or a combination of the two. The most important thing to remember is this: A groomsman is an honored position that you want to fill with the best of the best.
But how exactly are you supposed to ask them to join in as more than just a wedding guest? When it comes to how soon is too soon to ask, the sooner the better, and once you have the list confirmed (it’s always good to run it by your other half so everyone’s on the same page), it’s time to start thinking just exactly how to pop the question. Whether you’re down for an all-out guy’s trip or would rather opt for a gift full of personalization, the moment can be memorable and still communicate the significance of their role.
We’ve compiled 10 ways to ask that will definitely have your groomsmen saying “yes!”
