November 10, 2016 9:13 am
In modern Britain most couples treat wedding planning as a joint venture. The bride will often undertake the tasks of confirming the budget with her parents, selecting the desired jewellery, choosing the perfect dress, coordinating the caterer and sending out invitations to the array of guests. The groom, on the other hand, manages an array of other responsibilities from selecting the wedding rings to scouting hotels for out-of-town guests.
In this article we’ll be exploring the duties given to the groom in the run up to and on the big day. This will provide you, the soon to be husband, with a bible-like guide to wedding planning. All of which will make you the groom of any women’s dream and ensure that your wedding day unfolds in an organised manner and provides you with a day that you’ll never forget.
The Big Guest List
Whatever the venue, it is the guests that separate a great wedding from the good. Therefore, when the groom finds that he is responsible for curating the guest list it’s not unusual to be left both bewildered and intimidated.
The key to selecting who to invite and not invite to your wedding is to share the responsibility with your significant other. In doing this, both the bride and groom have an opportunity to split the list and invite their desired guests. Some couples take this idea a step further by allocating a small percentage of the list to then parents of the bride and groom.
When selecting your guests, however, it’s pivotal that you consider the budget allocated for the various aspects of your wedding. This is as the number of guests significantly shift the costs of the venue, catering and accommodation.
The All-important Wedding Ring
Wedding rings are said to date back to ancient Egypt, where they were crafted from hemp and reeds. Centuries on, however, the wedding ring continues to be an all-important element of the perfect wedding and symbol widely recognised throughout society of eternity.
For the nervous groom selecting the wedding rings can be an ordeal. However, with the necessary planning it needn’t be a headache and can in fact provide you with an opportunity to select a ring that will be adored for decades.
It is recommended that the groom allows for approximately three months to search for this perfect ring. Furthermore, it is also encouraged that grooms dedicate considerable time to researching the stones and considering the metals of choice. This will allow you to select a wedding ring with a story that you will be able to share whilst relaxing on your honeymoon.
In recent years, it has become common practice for grooms and brides to select their rings together. It has also become common for bespoke rings to be created as per the specifications giving by the happy couple. This is something to consider in the run up to your wedding as it can often provide a memorable experience with little added expense.
Wedding Car Hire
For any groom selecting the car in which the groom and he will arrive at the venue is a joyous experience. This is especially the case when dealing with a generous budget allowing for a prestigious vehicle, such as a Range Rover or Bentley.
Before you go ahead and indulge in the beautiful vehicles at your disposal, however, you must firstly consider the basic necessities. Start by questioning exactly how many vehicles you will require. You may, for example, simply require two for both the grooms and brides party. Some weddings, on the other hand, will choose to provide vehicles for their guests too.
