What’s that you say – Wedding tips for him?!  For most of us gals it’s really easy to try and take over the wedding planning process. We tend to unconsciously take over and do this sort of thing ourselves.

No wonder you feel overwhelmed. But by taking on the whole kit and kaboodle yourself you run the risk of alienating the other most important person in this event – your groom.

After all – it’s his wedding too! Let him plan a whole area or segment of your wedding that he can administer and plan. Working together you’ll both make your big day your own.

Generally speaking, the groom and his family plan the reception that is normally held after the rehearsal and the bride’s family plans and takes care of the reception and events the day of the wedding.

The rehearsal reception is an excellent way for everyone to get to know each other and share in the special traditions of his family and is a great way to share favorite recipes. Hint: his mom will likely hand over recipes of his favorite foods so he won’t go hungry with his new family (namely you)

But by far the task I’m certain your man will enjoy the most is planning your honeymoon. So let him get creative, and surprise you. Of course, it wouldn’t hurt if you have a pleasant surprise planned during your honeymoon as well.

A wonderful example of a thoughtful way to say I love you and welcome you occurred at a family wedding. This beautiful, touching and totally unexpected aspect of my sister’s wedding was after the exchange of vows and rings, her new husband took his family tarter and encircled her with it. Together they pinned it on and well, the rest is history. They’re still married 16 years later. Must have done something right ’cause they’re still inseparable.

So take it for what it’s worth. If you want to build a lasting marital relationship built on love and respect, do plan your wedding together where you can, and delight in surprising each other in unexpected ways.

Cheers,

PS – don’t forget to plan your wedding speeches
