Don’t Forget the Groom
The wedding isn’t just about the bride, so don’t forget the
groom. He’s the reason you are there and you couldn’t do it
without him. Take time to remind him how important he is.
INVOLVEMENT
Get him excited about planning the wedding as well. Give him
special tasks that he would have fun with, like planning the
drink menu and picking out his tux. Don’t forget to ask him
what he wants and remind him how important his opinion is.
SPECIAL GIFT
Get creative and give a gift to remind your groom the day is
about love and celebration. Give him a “your eyes only” photo
album, a watch telling him you’ll see him at the wedding, a love
letter, or socks saying “in case you get cold feet.”
GROOMSMEN
Provide the groomsmen with a wedding day survival kit
filled with liquors, snacks, shaving accessories, cuff links, or
personalized items. Make sure there is a lounge area for not
only the groomsmen, but also the groom’s other friends as well.
Perhaps provide a masculine whiskey and cigar lounge area.
LITTLE DETAILS
Writing out your groom’s “must remember” list…Wear his
cufflinks, shine his shoes, give the wedding rings to the best
man, slip his vows into his pocket. These little details will ease
his nerves and remind him that the day is about you and him. N
GROOM’S FAMILY
Writing letters to the parents or in-laws is a way to show how
much you appreciate them for welcoming you into the family.
Another thoughtful idea is a gift for your mother in-law, include
a card that says ”Thank you for raising the love of my life”. Don’t
forget you’re marrying her baby boy.
Remember when you chose your fiancé
you stopped looking at other men...
so, when you find your gown, stop
looking at other gowns!
