4 Wedding Organisation Items That Should Be The Groom's Responsibility

Well, now you’ve done it: you went down on one knee, you got the “yes,” and now the day for you to tie the knot is getting closer and closer. But while your fiancée is becoming Bridezilla by the minute, you should not just drop everything on her or the wedding planner.

As the groom, here are some organization items that you should take care of yourself. After all, you’re not some bystander there; it’s your day, and you should take an active part in it.

1.    Your Looks

Your fiancée already has enough things to deal with as it is, such as dealing with her own wedding dress – so you shouldn’t add “make your future husband look less homeless” on the list as well.

As a groom, you should take responsibility for picking your own suit. Pick a tux that compliments your figure, and that looks festive – without making it look too flashy. You’ll want to remember this day with elegance and seeing your pictures in the 70s as you are wearing a brightly coloured tux with feather attachments might not be your cup of tea.

Also, make sure that the tux you choose fits the place where the event takes place. If it’s a classic event at a restaurant, a classic tux in darker shades might be the better choice. On the other hand, if it’s a beach wedding, lighter-coloured attires might be more suitable.

2.    Your Men’s Suits

Obviously, this is a big day for you – but this doesn’t mean you should ignore the groomsmen. In a way, they are there to make you look your best – so if they look bad, you will look just as bad.

On this day, picking the right suit or tux for your groomsmen is very important. Don’t get anything with an extreme cut, and don’t go for colours that are too flashy – particularly if your wedding is large in size.

In these cases, classic shades such as blue, grey, blue, or tan are choices you could never go wrong with. Plus, if you go for a slim cut, it will look flattering on relatively everyone. You can even save some money if you order online using UK discount codes – because let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good discount?

3.    The Gifts for the Groomsmen

The bride has her bridesmaids to deal with – so it’s only logical that you deal with your own groomsmen. Make sure to buy the right gifts for your groomsmen so that you can thank them for all the support and friendship they have given you over all those years as a bachelor.

These gifts can be literally anything – but make sure that they are men-oriented or something that they might actually enjoy. Some gifts can be flasks, sports tickets, engraved cufflinks, top-shelf liquor, a set of ties – just too mention a few. After all, they’re still with you on the biggest day of your life, so you need to be appreciative.

1.    The Bride’s Gift

Traditionally, at every wedding, the bride and the groom will exchange gifts – something special as a token of appreciation for an equally special someone. Obviously, this is also not a task that you should leave for your future wife – and it would be very awkward if she turns up with something nice as you are just standing there, staring.

Granted, if your significant other hinted that she liked a certain diamond necklace or some other item, by all means, listen to her. But don’t try to find the easy way out, such as giving her the money and saying, “buy whatever you want with it.” Ladies like it when you come with something that has been specially handpicked for them.

You can give this gift at any time – the night before the wedding, as she’s getting dressed for the event, or as part of the event – for example, after the main dance. It does not have to be anything flashy, just touching enough to make her know that she married the right man.

Final Thoughts

Whatever the case, you should make it your responsibility to help your bride with whatever you can. Choosing the rings, the menu, the location, the honeymoon – she’ll definitely appreciate you stepping in.

Plus, the more she does by herself, the more stressed she will be. And we all know that a stressed bride equals Bridezilla. Helping out with whatever you can is as much for your benefit as it is for hers.
