THE GROOM-ONE FOR THE GUYS and attendants!
GROOMS GUIDE
As an involved groom, you can participate in the
whole process (or not)!. Your bride-to-be will surely appreciate any and all help you
provide. The partnership skills developed between the two of you during this
process will help you work as a team throughout your marriage. It's also
important that you both discuss finances, budgets, expectations, and
preferences early on in the planning process.
The
Ring
Probably the first thing you do as a groom-to-be is
propose and probably give your future spouse an engagement ring. This can be
done in many different ways, places, and methods. Only your imagination will
limit how you actually pop the question. This is something you and your fiancé
will remember your whole lives, so be creative.
Organize with your The
Attendants
One of the important decisions by the groom is
selecting his best man and attendants/ushers. Rule of thumb is one usher for
every 50 guests. You will then need to organize the attire they will wear
(rented tuxes, etc. and go for fittings). Attire should be coordinated with the
bride and the overall formality of your wedding. Generally, one of the duties
of the best man is to return any rental clothing after the wedding. The groom
can also arrange for transportation to the ceremony and reception for the
wedding party
Some groom's duties--of course work this out with the lovely bride to be:
• Organizing bachelor party (or dinner, which is optional).
• Paying for your own wedding attire.
• Helping groom dress for the ceremony.
• Making sure you, groomsmen and ushers are at the
ceremony on time & dressed properly.
• Driving groom to ceremony if need be.
• Presenting envelopes (from the groom) with fees/tips for
people like the officiant (just before or after ceremony).
• Carrying the brides' ring down the isle and handing it to
the officiant.
• Signing the marriage license, along with the maid of
honor, as a legal witness.
• Giving the first toast to the couple at the reception and
reading aloud any congratulatory telegrams.
• Organizing the return of all rented formal wear.
So get your guys together and delegate!
