Everyone involved in the wedding planning process tends to forget a very important person…the groom! We all focus on the bride and details however, the groom should have some opinion…it’s his big day too! There are many times I, as a Central Florida wedding planner, have not met the groom until the day of the wedding. I love working with both the bride and groom, knowing them as a couple and knowing their likes and dislikes for their special day. Here are some duties for the groom-to-be…
Groom in black tux
- Choosing your side of the wedding party-best man, groomsmen and ushers
- Deciding on attire-with keeping with the wedding’s style
- Choosing wedding bands together
- Selecting and purchasing wedding gifts for the bride and his wedding party
- Arranging for and purchasing the marriage license-check out your county’s website for more information.
- Planning the honeymoon-unless you are planning a surprise and your bride-to-be is ok with this I advise you do this together.
- Compiling your guest list
- Arranging transportation
- The Gift Registry-many guy’s dread this, but I promise it can be fun! These days couples are registering for anything and everything; including tools, electronics, entertainment and sports equipment. It’s like free shopping…who doesn’t like free?
- Go to as many vendor meetings with your bride-to-be as possible. She does want your opinion! Especially food and the bar.
- Making toast at the rehearsal dinner
- Have fun!
- Dance with your bride!
