| What Groom’s Want….
What is it that Groom’s want? He has finally proposed and his bride to be is so excited. In a Bride’s world, she starts planning the wedding as soon as possible. This is kind of a set back for the Groom. He waits to here what details and creative ideas are being used. He may hear, “What do you think of this?” a lot. Even though this is every girl’s dream we need to focus on what it is that the Groom Really Wants! The Engagement Party or planning a family get together is a good time to celebrate the happy occasion coming up, but also to start listening to what people are saying. Some details that might be mentioned are the budget, guest list, location scouting, and possibly hiring a wedding planner. You will hear ideas from all your family and friends – take them in and consider them. You and your partner are a team and communication is the key. But do not ever loose sight of what really matters: what your visions are for the wedding. We know that the Groom takes an interest in the choosing of the tuxedo’s and the honeymoon planning. But there are many Grooms that do not like the planning process because they view it as a stressful activity. And some Groom’s will hold back on their opinions to avoid a disagreement taking place. So how can we get the Groom to have a fun time planning with you and not make it a stressful event? They say food is the way to a man’s heart. Include the Groom in a special food tasting at the venue or bakery. This allows the Groom to open up and voice his opinion on the food selection. Make it fun at the bakery by showing him different options of cake designs and let him try the different flavors offered. Now that he has come to a venue with you to make some selections you might want to surprise him afterwards by taking him to his favorite hot spot. This is a way of telling him thank you for his advice and also relieve any stress he might have. The key to a successful marriage is communication. Make sure you both are on the same page in the planning process. One of the many things I have noticed is that the grooms have a hard time getting accustomed to the wedding registry. This is something you should really do together. When planning what you need for your household, make sure you discuss colors, quantities, and price ranges. There are some registries where you get your own wedding specialist and they can give you product knowledge and show you the latest trends. You need to look at things like are you traditional or are you more artsy. Product has personality so this will reflect you. The scanners are a great tool with the men to become involved. Also, you might want to let him choose a place to register as well. Even if it is all tools! No matter what part of the planning, there are always ways to get our grooms more involved. We should always have open ears to hear what their opinions are. Remember some grooms like to stay out of the planning, but if they do make an effort to come and help out take them somewhere special. And you never know, you just might learn something new about each other. You are a team and your goal is creating a wonderful wedding and life together!
