Including A Man In Your Bridal Party
Love is there to be celebrated and cherished amongst everyone in your life to see you through to your next destination.
The concept of a traditional wedding is in the eye of the wedding party. Having a bridesman is one of those amazing features that are popular with modern times. Your bridal party and wedding coordinator are there to support you the entire way. This doesn’t mean you need to break traditions or match traditions when having a bridesman in your party.
What You Need to Know About Having a Brides-man
Is It Possible To Have A Brides-man?
Absolutely! The concept of the bridal party dates back to Ancient Rome. Your party didn't need to be all women on one side and all men on the other. Instead, it was ten people that were close to you to be a witness.
So much of the bridal party concept has changed over the millennia. From everyone wearing the same dress as the bride, to wearing different costumes.
After all, if you’re going to have creative reception ideas, why not extend them to your bridal party?

What Does A Brides-man Wear?
You don’t need to go out and find a custom cloth for his suit either. If your groomsmen wear a gray suit, put him in a gray suit. Then his shirt, socks, and pocket square can match the bridesmaids.
Bridal shower games that are fun to play
If you want to be really creative, your bridesmaids don’t need to wear dresses either. Perhaps everyone wears a pantsuit, jumpsuit, or designs their style with a specific theme in mind. The concepts are endless to make your wedding day perfect and fit your bridesman in.

What Will His Role Be?
If your friend accepts being part of the bridal party, now it’s time to plan with him! Whether he is your Man-Of-Honor (MOH), or a bridesman, his roles will be similar to those of anyone else.
- Attend The Bridal Shower: Not all bridal showers or bachelorette parties need to involve going to the strip club or lingerie. Bring him along to get to know the rest of the party at other venues like a fancy restaurant nearby or enjoy a nice spa day.
- Participate In Planning And Projects: If your bridal party is wanting to make small trinkets for all the guests, have him join in. If he’s hands-on, you could do much more projects that don’t require hiring out anymore either.
- Get You Ready The Morning Of: He might not be able to hop in the room and help you dress, but he is there to help you relax. Whether it’s to get one last drink in before the ceremony starts, or helping to carry stuff around, he is there for you.
