Invitation for groomsmen: tips and how to invite
Advance
The first step towards the altar is to invite the best man at the wedding. This invitation must be made at least 12 to 8 months before the wedding date, especially if the groomsmen live far away.
You can send a “save the date” and make the official request on a different date, just so that they are already aware of the event.
Remember that groomsmen will need to prepare both from a personal and professional point of view (time off, appointments, schedules), as well as from a financial point of view (gifts, tickets, clothes, makeup, etc.).
Formalization of the invitation
Plan how to formalize the invitation to the groomsmen. At this point in the championship, they are probably already aware of your proposal, but that does not mean that the invitation should not be made official.
A good tip to formalize the invitation is offering a dinner to all the godparents. But if it is not possible to get everyone together, go to each person's home and make the invitation personally. If any of them live in another city or even another country, think of a creative way to make the invitation, such as recording a video, for example.
Married or single?
Do groomsmen need to be married? Can you invite singles? Yes of course! What rules here is the degree of friendship and companionship that exists between the groomsmen and godmothers and the couple.
But it is worth recalling some tips for not making any faux pas. If the groomsmen are married, the better! It makes your life easier. But if they are not, it will be necessary to form the pairs and here it is important to be careful not to create embarrassing situations.
If the godfather (or godmother) is engaged or has a girlfriend, it is a good idea that the companion is also at the altar, that is, the invitation will be extended.
Types of wedding invitation for groomsmen
It is always important that the groomsmen invitation follow the same style as the wedding ceremony. Also try to maintain the harmony of colors and props.
In general, the invitation for groomsmen brings the official request of the bride and groom and the event information, such as date, place and time. But the difference is that you can include other information, such as dress instructions, hairstyle suggestions, makeup and even some accessory that groomsmen and bridesmaids should use on their wedding day.
Here, you also have two options: to elaborate an invitation model only for the groomsmen and another only for the godmothers. But if all the groomsmen are married, it is possible to make an invitation for each couple.
Just be careful to standardize the invitations and deliver the same template to everyone.
Here are some of the most popular invitation types:
