Q. What duties can I leave to the Bestman & Bridesmaids?

A. If your bride's maids are old enough, they can arrange the hen night. Discuss how you would like them to be involved in the rest of the day's arrangements, you will need to have time to visit lots of suppliers so you may want to allocate some areas of the day to them. If you are using a Co-ordinator, Bridesmaids are very good to help with ideas and opinions rather than the practical stuff. Many of my brides choose to bring their Bridesmaids to meetings rather than the groom when discussing the flowers or invitations. Bestmen are good for the Stag Night and Transport. They need to deal with the staff at the venue to make sure the ushers and suppliers are doing their job. I work closely with the bestmen on the day and liase over timings, etc. throughout the day.
