How much money will the best man at a wedding spend?
Posted on 08 February 2009 by admin
My sister's boyfriend asked me to be the best man and money is extremely tight at the moment. If anyone has any suggestions for an inexpensive bachelor party, tux, gifts, and everything you know, please let me know what to do.
my fiance's best friend is only spending $50, but it depends on the wedding… some want tuxedos (I don't – just your best black suit) tux rentals are about 150… then there's the bachelor's party… I'd say 250 MAXIMUM and that's including the wedding gift if your funds are tight… or go in together with all the groomsmen
$100.

it can really vary. the best man will need a tux, which will run about 120$ depending on your location. you also throw a bachelor party so you'll be responsible for your drinks and a share of the groom's drinks. mostly the cost can be shared with the other wedding party though. the best man doesn't have nearly as many costs as the maid of honor. be glad you aren't a girl!

When my wife and I got married many years ago, we paid for all the tuxes of all the groomsmen. Also, our bachelor party consisted of going out drinking at a bar…nothing really expensive or elaborate.
When somebody asks you to be his best man, there shouldn't be a financial obligation that comes along with it. If his expectation is that there will be, feel free to say "no." I would never go through a veiled attempt to get somebody to help me with wedding expenses through an invitation to do something that "really means" I want you to spend money on MY celebration.
Let's look at this for what it really is. A heart-to-heart with your future brother in law and perhaps also your sister is in order.

Good luck and God Bless.
This depends on a lot of factors, such as travel, hotels…
Basics:
Haircut: $20
Tux: $120 – $250
Bachelor Party: $200 – as much as you want… (everyone who attends should help pay)

Rent your tux, get something personal but inexpensive for the wedding gift (a framed picture of you and the happy couple at a party, trip, school, etc., for instance) and throw a close to home bachelor party and let the other male members of the wedding party help. Unfortunately, that's just about the cheapest way you can go without looking cheap. I think that most grooms-to-be just want and need your support and best wishes.

you can find a tux for about a hundred bucks anywhere.

The bride and groom will likely pick the tuxedos and you'll have to rent where they pick. It should run somewhere in the $100-150 range. If that's too much you need to just be honest with them. We paid for some of our wedding party's tuxedos because we knew it was a hardship for some of the guys.
As far as bachelor party, well, my husband's friends just took him to ride go-carts and play video games. All the men in attendance chipped and paid for his share. You just have to be the organizer. Camping/fishing weekend, video games, shooting range…just think of an activity he would enjoy. It doesn't have to be an expensive night of bars and strip clubs and his wife would probably be thrilled if you picked something tame.
