2 giant flat screens at my reception for an away game which has a very good chance of being in the 2:30 slot and over by the time our wedding starts?

Seriously here is the best advice...leave me alone. I don't have to entertain you all day, do your wedding and then go to your reception.

That's a lot of shite. Just tell me what time to show up at your wedding you selfish frick.

Sincerely,

Your Best Man.


What? Its not for me, its for them. Most of them have never been to Baton Rouge and I want them to have fun. My best man is my brother and he wants to figure out something fun to do with them as well.

WTF is going on in here?

i would have suggested golf since that is the common event i've always participated in.

horseshoe tourney? those have been fun. easy to set up. can drink.
set up a bbq or grill close for some substance.

skeet shooting or a shooting range could be fun.

I've been in several bigger.

But its been easy. Not like they have to do much at all besides pick up their suits and show up.

Don't do anything. Do you really want to wake your friends up to start drinking earlier than normal? Make sure they get wasted Friday night. Hopefully this will delay wedding day drinking until at least noon.

which away game? it still kind of sucks but im sure you wife won that argument anyway.


Golf sounds like an awful idea btw. Having to fly your clubs in, half the people not playing....yeah scrap that.


I dont really have any other suggestions though. I guess yall could just patio drink downtown and watch college football.

People suck, this was as simple thread asking for things to do with groomsmen the day of so they aren't left playing with their dicks in their hotel rooms.


Horseshoes, ladder golf, washers in the backyard and have some good food and free drinks of their liking. I'd be pretty fired up if my buddies that have gotten married would have done that. Instead we just BBQ'd and got wasted.

They are family and best friends who will walk away with new suits, nothing rented.

I'll give that a shot. My dad's house is nearby and has a decent backyard with speakers and stuff.

Thanks.

I'm telling you, I've served in about 7 weddings and 3 as best man.

The experience is exhausting. Forcing me to hangout all day from crack of dawn is just overkill. Old men in late 20s, early 30s don't feel like wasting their whole day sitting around drinking, especially when they payoff is standing in your wedding. And then a reception.

Now that if got that out of the way, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Make reservations at a restaurant at 11am for lunch and drinks and tell them all they are more than welcome to attend, but don't feel obligated. They're doing enough as it is, no need to try to make big arrangements for a large group of guys for just a few hours before the wedding.

Not to mention at the restaurant you can all watch gameday and and the early games.

I'm talking like 11-4.

And they'll wake me up to party, not the other way around.
