Q: How Can You Get The Groom Involved In The Wedding Planning?
A: In the midst of all the initial excitement and wedding planning lists, you probably have established yourself as the wedding planner between the two of you. However, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t get the chance to play a vital role in the wedding plans. With our quick advice, it's easy to get the groom involved... and get some much-needed help.
Request His Presence
Remind your man that even if you've been dreaming of this day since you were a child, you don't actually have much planning experience. Let him know you value his input, appreciate his ideas and need his help.
Be Enticing
It's much easier to get a groom involved when you have fun, even tempting activities for him to do. For example, who wouldn't want to go to a cake tasting? Get him started with the groom-pleasing planning activities. Or, put his love for music to good use and ask him to put together a song list for the reception or create a list of ideas for the first dance.
Get Gifted
Today's registries are often far from traditional -- the idea of registering for that swanky leather club chair he's always wanted, or a top-of-the-line grill to make his guy friends jealous. Remind him that a handsome set of barware could add a touch of masculinity to your home, and encourage him further with visions of athletic equipment, camping gear and fishing tackle.
Honeymoon Help
It's not hard to get swept away in travel plans, and even the word "honeymoon" is sure to perk his interest. Asking him to take charge of the honeymoon is a great way to get him in planning mode.
