Don’t drink too much.

You are the best man, so you have to be responsible. No matter how much you think it’s okay to drink at the wedding, it’s still a good idea to stay sober enough to remember everything that happens. You want everyone else there having fun and enjoying themselves, not worrying about your behavior or whether or not you’re going to pass out in front of everyone.

The groom is going through a lot of stress during his wedding day and he’ll be happy if he can count on his best man being present for him and helping him out if needed—not getting drunk at the reception! The bride will also appreciate it if her new husband gets back safely from his bachelor party without any strange stories about what happened there (even though she already knows what happened).

Try to involve the groom in everything.

At the very least, try to involve the groom in everything. It’s important for him to feel like he has a say when it comes to planning your stag do and the wedding itself. Ask him what he wants to do, and get his input on how he thinks things should go down. If you need help with planning anything, ask him if he can give you pointers or help out with any of it.

Come up with a good speech.

There are a few ways you can do this. One way is to write out a speech and then practice it in front of the mirror. Another way is to use templates that have already been written by other people and then fill in the blanks with your own words, which will help you come up with some ideas for what you want to say during the speech.

However, there are other things that make someone a good best man besides just having a good speech. For example, if your friend has anything specific that he wants from his guests as wedding gifts (like if he’s collecting certain items), then it’s important for him to tell his best man so he can plan accordingly!

Give the groomsmen a gift.

The best man is often the one who organizes your bachelor party and makes sure everyone has a great time. If you’re lucky enough to have a good best man, he will make sure all of the other groomsmen are happy and taken care of on your wedding day as well. He’ll also perhaps be in charge of throwing you a bachelor party, which means he may need some help picking out gifts for his fellow groomsmen.

The best gift for a groomsman is something that they can use anytime they want: money! Giving cash is always a great idea because it’s flexible, convenient, and easy to spend. Whether it’s $50 or $100 per person (or more), cash is always appreciated by any friend or family member who stands up with us on our special day. And besides—money doesn’t take up space in our closets like other things do!

Help keep everyone on schedule.

A good best man should ensure that the day runs smoothly, and part of that is by being on top of things. Make sure you know when everything is happening and if there are any changes in plans (which can happen). Have a checklist in your head or on paper, so you don’t forget anything. If there are multiple events happening during the day, make sure everyone knows what order they’re supposed to be in—and make sure everyone is ready for their event!

A lot of times I’ve seen people get tired because they didn’t plan ahead for the next step of their day. Or worse yet: I’ve seen people who weren’t prepared at all for what was about to happen next!

Spend time with the bride and groom ahead of the wedding.

Your role as Best Man is to help the couple and be on hand for anything they might need. This includes being their friend, but also helping them get ready for the wedding day. As such, it’s important to spend time with them before the big day so that you can really know what they want or need from you. You should avoid saying anything that may put them off (such as mentioning a previous relationship). Similarly, don’t mention anything that could be seen as an insult to either of them (for example: asking when they plan on having children). Finally, avoid asking any awkward questions like these!

A good best man is an organized, responsible, and fun person – who, of course, gets the groom to all his appointments on time, has no embarrassing alcoholic episodes during the reception, and has given a funny but kind speech at the reception.

As a good best man, you need to be organized and responsible. You should know the timeline for everything in advance and make sure that you are always on top of your tasks. This can help the groom stay organized as well.

Also, if you’re having an alcoholic drink at some point during the reception, don’t get too wasted! If there’s going to be drinking at all (which is advised), keep it moderate so that everyone has fun but isn’t embarrassing themselves or others in front of everyone else.

You should also give a funny but kind speech at the reception—one that doesn’t make anyone feel left out or uncomfortable but still congratulates them on their upcoming marriage in a humorous way (if possible). It should also include some advice about marriage that will stick with them into their future life together as husband and wife!

Your gift for the groomsmen should be something related to their favorite hobby or interest; this helps them feel connected with each other while also giving them something useful from which they’ll gain value later down time line .
