To-Do List for the Groom
Things the groom needs to take care of
⎕ Ask the bride for a copy of the wedding checklist. Be amazed at how much there is to do.
⎕ Browse the list carefully to choose things you’d like to contribute to, or to handle yourself - for
example, transport, band, insurance, alcohol, etc.
⎕ Actually do those things.
⎕ Start saving money, because the things above are more expensive than you think.
⎕ Choose your best man and your ushers.
⎕ Even if you're not in charge of general transport, arrange your ride to the church and reception
venue - and that includes your guys too.
⎕ Ask the bride about her attire ideas for you, and discuss accordingly.
⎕ Discuss attire with the best man, then involve the ushers. Traditionally, the groom pays to kit out
his groomsmen.
⎕ Book your own appointments for suit fittings, and do it as quickly as possible - someone else
probably already has an eye on the suit you'd look best in.
⎕ Arrange everything else that goes with your suit - shoes, socks, shirt, cufflinks, cravat or tie, etc.
⎕ Start taking care of your skin - for example, if your daily shave always leaves you with a rash, try a
few new products, a new razor, or book an appointment with a dermatologist. You don't want to look
like a radish next to your radiant bride.
⎕ If you want to jazz up your look for the wedding day, book a haircut appointment with the best
barber in town to try something new - just not the day before your wedding.
⎕ Start drinking water every day - at least four glasses.
⎕ Ask the bride ‘can I help with anything?’ on a regular basis. Some brides get so overwhelmed, they
forget to ask themselves.
⎕ Think of something special to do for the bride on the wedding day. Believe us, she’s already
thinking of the same for you, if she’s not bought it already. It can be a gift, a letter, or a piece of
jewellery - whatever comes from the heart.
⎕ In fact, amp up that lovin' feeling so your bride really feels supported and appreciated. It's
especially important now - she's most likely feeling terribly overwhelmed.
