Top tips for all you Groomsmen

So, you’re a groomsman for a Hawke’s Bay wedding and you want to handle your responsibilities like a boss? These top five tips will set you on a one-way road to success.

1. Know your emergency tailoring locations – one of the groom’s party will inevitably have changed body shape since the final measure.
2. Grab a gift to give the groom on the morning of the big day. You can’t go past a cracking bottle of chardonnay or syrah from one the Bay’s many world-class wineries, that he can share with his bride on their first anniversary.
3. Book in a breakfast/brunch for the groom’s party while the bridal party are getting their make-up done. The options are plentiful.
4. On the big day, remember to tell the bride’s mum/sister/nana how stunning they look!
5. And carry a pack of tissues in your pocket so you can be on standby when any waterworks kick off. You'll immediately be classified as the super nice guy - so many brownie points!
