Guest Blogger: How to get your Groom involved in the Wedding Planning Process?

First you must decide if your groom wants to get involved. There are many fellows that don’t want to be involved in the whole wedding process. They just want to allow the bride to take care of everything to ensure that it is exactly what she wants. Some guys feel that they just need to show up and look good. “Tell me when and where and I’ll be there.” These are the types of guys that will let the bride take care of everything and for the most part stay out of the way, UNTIL there is something that he definitely wants or doesn’t want.

Second, if you do have a groom that wants to be involved in the process.

What can he do?

I like to say that the grooms can involve themselves in the wedding planning process as little or as much as they want to. They can contribute to the venues and vendors because you do want to know if they like or dislike something. This will really make it easy on you, the bride because you will feel as though you aren’t doing everything on your own.

Most times if you do ask a groom what they want to be involved in they will usually say that they will help with picking a site for the reception and ceremony and maybe even vendors. “Yes, I like that cake” or “No I don’t like that DJ”. But as for getting detailed information, I don’t find that a lot of grooms will contribute on this aspect. Details are definitely not always high on their list.

Finally, all you have to do is ask. Usually if you ask, grooms will give their opinion and help.


Happy Planning,
