Best Man/Usher Time Frame

oggers86, 7 December, 2012 at 03:37 Posted on Planning 0 3

With 9 months to go we still have no best man or usher..I have been asking OH for months to pick but he keeps changing his mind and refusing to make a decision. At one point it was between two, whoever wasnt best man would be usher..now there are 2 more people in the frame and it is starting to bug me.

Should we not have finalised our wedding party by now? At this rate, Christmas will come and go and we will get to February with still no decision being made. I suppose at the end of the day he is the one going to look like an idiot standing up there on his own because he refuses to make a decision but still..

I wanted to get suits all picked out with 5-6 months to go but at this rate we will be struggling!

Should I be asking him to sort it or should I just leave him to it and risk not having any male members of the wedding party (apart from my dad)

Advice would be appreciated ?

    We didn't start planning at all until 6 months before so best man was asked about 5 months before and then OH decided he wanted an usher but put off asking until 3 months before. I was getting a bit annoyed by then because I wanted to sort suits as well, but if you know you're definitely having 1 best man and 1 usher so you know numbers you can look into it now and pick what you want. Measurements are taken much close to the time so you don't need to involve the wedding party for a while. He might be putting it off in case his friendships change between now and then?

    I don't think you need to worry yet. Suits don't need sorting this early. I'd let him take his time choosing.
