What does an usher do?

Duties can be divided into three areas, before, during and after the wedding. The before is a goodie – an usher should attend the stag do. Not arrange it – that’s the Best Man’s job. Just be there with an open mind and read above for usher’s duties in more detail.

How many ushers will there be?

The rule of thumb is one usher for every 50 guests. Even for small weddings, there are usually at least two ushers so no one is left waiting to be escorted to their seat for too long, but it depends on the wedding.

Do I need to buy my own suit?

Usually, the couple getting married pay for the usher’s suits, whether they’re bought or hired, but it’s a conversation worth having to avoid any awkward standoffs at the till.
