How Can You Get the Groom Involved in the Wedding Planning?

In the midst of all the initial excitement and wedding planning lists, you've probably established yourself as the wedding planner in your relationship. However, that doesn’t mean he shouldn't get the chance to play a vital role in the wedding plans. With our advice, it's easy to get the groom involved...and get some much-needed help.

Request His Presence
Remind your man that even though you've been dreaming of this day since you were a child, you don't actually have much planning experience. Let him know you value his input, appreciate his ideas, and need his help.

Be Enticing
It's much easier to get a groom involved when you have fun, even tempting activities for him to do. For example, who wouldn't want to go to a cake tasting? Get him started with the groom-pleasing planning activities. Or put his love of music to good use and ask him to put together a playlist for the reception.

Get Gifted
Today's registries are often far from traditional -- plant the idea that he can register for that swanky leather club chair he's always wanted. Remind him that a handsome set of barware could add a touch of masculinity to your home, and titillate him further with visions of athletic equipment and camping gear.

Honeymoon Help
It's not hard to get swept away in travel plans, and even the word "honeymoon" is sure to pique his interest. Asking him to take charge of the honeymoon is a great way to get him in planning mode.
