As the groom, there are not many duties that you traditionally have outside helping your wife with the more general decisions of wedding planning; however, you do still have duties that you need to execute on your own. The first is picking your best man and groomsmen. These are men who are close friends and family members are important people in your lives. Most of your personal duties will revolve around these guys. This article will help you know what these duties are and give you some helpful suggestions along the way.
First off, you need to come together with the guys and decide what tuxedos you will be wearing. The only input your bride will give is likely a reminder that you need to make sure that the tie or bowties, vest or cummerbunds, match the color scheme of what theme she decided for the wedding. Make sure that everyone is on the same page. You also need to make sure that everyone has the same style suit or tuxedo and that you can ones that fit each guy. Hopefully the majority of your friends have done this for one event or another, so this shouldn't be too hard.
A new trend is that the wedding shower is coed. In this case, make sure that the groomsmen and best man get together with bridesmaids to give their input for the planning. That way they can come up with an event everyone, whether they are men or women, will enjoy themselves. Your only other duty really is to show and have fun with your future bride. However, make sure that everyone knows what to expect

So in the end, it is better to be safe than sorry. All the same, it doesn't have to be wild and crazy or raunchy for you to have a good time. Suggest or hint at activities that you would really want to do to your best man. Hopefully, they will be smart enough to take your tastes into consideration.
