Brides! This post is all about your groom. Sometimes wedding planning can fall on you, unintentionally. The groom sees this as your day, but it is his too! Go into marriage on the right foot by planning your wedding together. Include special aspects for the both of you, and in all the hustle and bustle, don’t let your groom fall into the background.
PLAN TOGETHER
We cannot stress to you enough the importance of planning aspects of your wedding together. One major wedding event that you should plan together is your honeymoon. Unless you bond over being Disney adults, maybe a honeymoon in the “happiest place on earth” isn’t your groom’s idea of relaxing. Work together and communicate your intentions for this sweet time together. Going one step further, don’t be afraid to delegate certain tasks to the groom. If he truly has an eye, or in this case taste, for a good drink, let him decide the bartender. You trust him, we know you do! Does he enjoy music? Give him a say, or complete authority, over the DJ or live music at your wedding reception. Ask him to be actively involved in what he and his groomsmen wear.
CONSIDER HIS PERSONALITY
It can make your groom feel seen and important if the wedding reflects his personality along with yours. He may be able to deliver more of his personality through tradition ceremony events. Allow him to write his own vows if that is something he would like. This creates an intimater and sentimental experience for the both of you. specific to wedding planning, think about how involved he would ideally like to be. does this look like delegating specific task to him? Or does the idea of making decisions stress him out? Always ask his opinion on items you think he has one on, but maybe steer clear of items you don’t think he will have a strong opinion about.
THE WEDDING MORNING
Wedding morning festivities for the bride usually consist of pampering her tribe, swimming on some mimosas, and getting hair and makeup down for hours. But, what about the groom and his groomsmen? Have him plan out a fun morning for them as well. Engaged to an avid golfer, or just an all-around guy’s guy, schedule a tee time for 9 holes. Something a lot of groomsmen can forget about is a fresh cut. Consider having the groom and his buddies go to the barber in the morning so they are all looking nice and clean-shaven for the wedding. We know guys can eat. Plan a breakfast for the groom and groomsmen so you aren’t dealing with some hangry guys all day.
