When do you give them the rings?

Question

My wedding is on Saturday. When do we give the maid of honor and best man the rings for the ceremony?

Answer 1

Depends. I took the ring from the bride when I was MOH a week before and packed it in my "bag of tricks" emergency kit. That way I knew it wouldn't get left behind!

Whenever you're comfortable. If there's going to be a raucous party after the rehearsal, then maybe not until you're ready to leave for the ceremony. If not, the rehearsal can be a good time.

Answer 2

That's up to you.  We gave them the rings the morning of.  I was so nervous that I actually forgot all about the rings until someone asked me about them.  Thankfully, my maid of honor and my mom were right on top of it all and already had them packed in a bag to give to the best man when we got to the church.

Answer 3

Before the ceremony, and before everyone starts running around right before the ceremony. Who will be bringing the rings to the church? That person should be in charge of getting them to the best man and maid of honor.

The best man can keep your ring in his pocket. The maid of honor can keep your fiance's ring on her thumb (I'm assuming she won't have pockets) - her bouquet will cover it and it's easy to keep track of there.

Answer 4

at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding

Answer 5

earlier in the day when you are getting ready or have your parents hold them until right before everyone walks in.

Answer 6

Right before the wedding, as everyone's nerves are stretched; that way they won't be lost or forgotten.

Answer 7

I am giving my Maid Oh Honor BOTH RINGS the night before the wedding (all my girls are spending the night with me) and she will be giving my ring to the BEST MAN about 5 minutes before the ceremony, I am so paranoid about him losing it lol.
