The Wedding day is often thought of as a bride's 'special day'. It is her moment to take the world by storm and be a radiant, dazzling princess. Unfortunately, in all the hype of it being the bride's day, people tend to forget there is another individual involved – the groom.
In an effort to make all parties involved with the wedding planning process feel as if they had some hand in planning, here are some tasks that can be assigned to the groom without stepping on anyone's toes or making the bride feel as if her special day is ruined. In fact, having the groom do these tasks may just help relieve some stress and make things run smoother.
Create a Seating Chart
Formal wedding receptions often require a detailed seating chart. The groom can help out with the wedding day planning by creating the seating chart for the reception. Of course, it might be a good idea to confirm the final seating chart before making it 'official', but if he takes over the planning it will dramatically reduce a bride's stress levels.
Monitor the RSVPs for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception
Keeping track of who says yes, who says no, and who says maybe when it comes to attending a wedding ceremony or reception can be difficult. There are people who will reply that they can attend the ceremony, but not the reception. There are people who can attend both ceremony and reception, and people who will only come for the reception. That presents numerous opportunities for brides to be confused and miscount the number of people for an event.
Put the groom in charge of monitoring whom RSPVs, as this will allow him to feel as though he is taking part in the big event. Even if the bride is overseeing this too, it never hurts to have someone else monitoring it. The last thing anyone wants to happen is to have too many people show up for an event and not have enough food or seating to accommodate them.
Purchase Some of the Wedding Decorations and Accessories
Even the most detail-oriented bride can provide a list of wedding decorations and accessories that needs to be purchased. If a groom wishes to take part in some aspect of the wedding planning, consider having him purchase the items on the list.
Items that are integral to the overall layout and setup of the wedding should be detailed, so as to avoid any conflict. However, items that will not impact the wedding design, such as wedding guest books or toasting flutes, the bride can allow the groom to pick it out on his own. This will allow him to feel a part of the big event, while giving him a little creative license to add his own touch to the wedding day.
