Usually, you will select your attendants out of your closest friends and
family. These people will be the most likely candidates for helping you with all
of our wedding planning. If you have more friends and family who can help
besides those chosen as attendants, you are in luck. The more people you have
helping you, the less stressful your wedding planning will be. Here is a list of
typical assignments for friends and family:
Groom:
Helps with what he can of wedding planning
Plans the honeymoon

Picks men's attire
Mother:

Helps with the theme (flowers, colors, etc.)

Non-attendant family/friends:

May stand in the receiving line with everyone previously listed
Can be given simple tasks that the attendants don't have time for
No matter what tasks you decide to delegate, it is always vital for you to
thank everyone who helped plan your big day. Some people do this with gift,
other just give a card or even just a hug. Also, always remember that they are
there to help you and support you with any task you give them.
