Do not let the guys pin on their own boutonnieres.

It is best if one person can be designated to pin on all of the boutonnieres, that way they will all look the same for the pictures.  The proper way to pin them on is from the back of the lapel, so that the pin does not actually show.

Be respectful of other people's time!

Be on time for appointments and especially for the rehearsal and the actual ceremony.  There is nothing worse than hearing someone tell the Bride, "don't worry if you are late, they can't start without you." That is true, they cannot start without the Bride, but the quality of the ceremony could change as people wait and get irritated and impatient.  It is a respect factor!

How about the Bride and Groom toasting their guests?

I think that is a well deserved gesture and could appropriately be done after the "Best Man's Toast".  Thanking everyone for being there and being part of your special day would be well received I am sure!

Don't be too late on those "Thank You" notes!

Although it is said that you have up to a year to send out your "Thank You" notes, I would suggest doing them as soon as possible.  It is true that a thank you note is appreciated whenever you get it, however, a timely one is much more impressive and really does show appreciation!

Don't forget the Marriage License!

Depending on the State in which you are getting married the requirements will vary.  Please make sure that you research this at least six months prior to the wedding to make sure that you have all of your "I's" dotted and your "T's" crossed.
