18. Groom 101: Mastering Your Big Day with Essential Tips and Tricks
Welcome to Episode #18 of Before I Do! Alex is driving today’s episode as we are doing a "Groom 101" and what parts of the wedding they can jump into planning while having fun with it!
Alex is going to speak from the viewpoint of a groom, because that's his experience, but this is not exclusively for people who identify as grooms. No matter what role you play in the couple, you may be someone who hasn’t been planning this in their head forever and is unsure where to start. We’re here to give some general direction and advice so you don’t feel lost during the planning process, and to make sure all your bases are covered for this big day!
If you identify as a groom, even though you maybe haven’t been dreaming about this day since you were five as much as you dreamt about your MLB career; a wedding day is just as much your day as it is your bride's (60/40, but you get it). Not only is the planning just as much on you as it is on her, but a good bit of it is something you can make special and unique to you, while having a blast doing so.
Let’s break this down a little bit as Alex shares seven areas where you’ll want to have influence as a groom:
- Venue
- Food
- Alcohol
- Music
- Seating Chart & Guest List
- Attire
- Your ring
Bonus advice: Stay on your groomsmen and make sure they know exactly what will be going on at every point of the day until after dinner when their duties are over. Once the reception starts, it’s all gravy.
We hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any questions about the groom’s point of view, duties, expectations, etc.!
