Wedding Planning Guide

Grooms Wedding Guide

  • Decide on your wedding budget with your fiancé
  • Choose your best man, groomsmen and ushers
  • Make an appointment to visit with your Minister or Celebrant and attend to all legal requirements
  • Make appointments to visit formal wear stores with your fiancé to decide on styles
  • Decide on the style of boutonnieres (buttonholes) for you and the men in your party
  • Organise to have your wedding bands engraved
  • Discuss honeymoon plans with your fiancé and set a budget
  • Enroll yourself and your fiancé in dancing lessons for that all-important first dance
  • Book accommodation for your wedding night and surprise your fiance by arranging for flowers, champagne and her favourite chocolates to be delivered to your hotel room on your wedding night
  • Make transport arrangements for you, the wedding party, and both sets of parents, including transport from the reception to where you will be spending your wedding night
  • Delegate someone responsible to collect gifts from the reception and look after them
  • Compose a special toast to your bride
  • Prepare and practice your speech
  • Make a list of favourite songs to discuss with your fiancé and choose one for the bridal dance
  • Organise appointments for formal wear fittings for all of the men in your party
  • In the stressful months leading up to the day, surprise your fiancé with romantic dinners, with the stipulation that you both cannot mention the wedding during the entire evening
  • Delegate someone to be responsible for looking after your wedding certificate once it has been signed
  • Buy gifts for the men in your bridal party and last, but by no means least, buy a very special gift for your bride


And don’t forget.....

  • The pleats on the cummerbunds are worn facing up
  • The buttonhole flowers are worn on the left lapel
  • The groomsmen should all be wearing matching shoes
  • For best photographic results, shave 2-3 days before the wedding and then wait until the morning of the wedding to have the best shave possible
