How to be a great Groom: 8 helpful tips

When it comes to wedding plannings it is the bride that does most of the work and planning. That does not mean the Groom doesn’t have any role in it. Here we present to you a guide on how to be involved in your wedding planning, what you can do to help and be an all-around good groom.

Communicate your ideas

After all, this is your wedding too. Don’t feel ashamed to spitball a few ideas with your partner and her family. It could be about anything, food, music, guest list etc, try to get your ideas in. This could ensure that everyone involved is happy about the function.

Maintain a positive aura

Weddings are huge affairs and in most cases, can lead to stress. Petty arguments and tiffs can arise from all the parties involved and this can be quite overwhelming. Maintain a positive attitude throughout this, be the voice of reason if you have to be and be there for your partner.

Manage your BFFs

Make it your own responsibility to handle your friends. It would be wise to manage your friends on your own. Arrange accommodation facilities for them, if you are doing a dress code check on that, find out if they are planning some performance so that you can make arrangements for the same.

Get Groomed

Hire your favourite barber, get a fresh haircut and if you have a beard get it shaped and styled. Make sure your suit is in order, missing cloth articles is one of the most common problems experienced during a wedding day. Carry yourself with confidence and believe that you look your best.

Prepare a toast

As a Groom, this would be one of the most important tasks for you. Take your time while your writing your toast. Few tips to keep in mind:

  • Focus on your partner
  • Use humour, a few one-liners will do, don’t overdo it.
  • Make eye contact, maintain good posture.
  • Don’t forget to mention your in-laws.
  • Keep it family friendly.
  • Sign-off as a couple.
Smiling isn’t just for the bride
Practise makes perfect. Practise your camera smile with your buddies or with your partner. You’ll be meeting and greeting a lot of people and lots of cameras would be pointed at you. You have to keep your smile game on point. It is important that you don’t look awkward in any photos, not even the candid ones. So practise until you find your perfect smile.
Keep Yourself Busy
The day before the wedding is the toughest, as any man can attest. Keep your mind active so as to avoid pre-wedding jitters. Watch your favourite movies, take a walk, listen to music, play some video games, anything to distract your mind. Think positive thoughts and if negative thoughts do arise, talk about it with your friends and family.

Find yourself a wedding planner who is great at handling pressure and would plan an amazing premium wedding.
