Pre Marriage Preparation Tips for Grooms

As the big day approaches, every tiny detail is being planned to perfection. If you are the man-of-the-day you may well be asking yourself, “What about Groom preparations before marriage?”

1. Pick the perfect suit

You want to look your best on that day and your suit will be the most important outfit after the bride’s dress, of course. So make sure you get a well-fitted suit that complements the style and feel of the wedding as well as the colour scheme.

2. Get a haircut

There’s nothing like a good haircut to make you look spruced up. But don’t leave it until the day before. Visit a professional barber for a cut and shave about a week before the wedding and if time permits have a little trim on the morning of the wedding together with your best man and groomsmen.

3. Get enough sleep and eat properly

Make sure you are well rested when the big day arrives. No late night movies and irregular schedules. At least seven to nine hours of sleep per night is recommended as well as eating a healthy and balanced diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean meat. All this will all add to your general feeling of well being on your important day.

4. Dealing with his family

Any family drama on his side should be dealt with by the groom (before wedding stress gets the best of everyone!). If his sisters cause issues regarding the bridesmaids' dresses or his mother is driving the bride crazy, the groom should be the one to have a one-on-one with whoever is causing stress and solve the problem.

5. Arrange the rehearsal

The wedding rehearsal with the bridal party and the person who will be officiating at the wedding is a significant part of setting everyone at ease so that you all know exactly when and where to do and say everything. As the groom, you can arrange this evening, and a dinner afterwards perhaps, as a small pre-wedding celebration.

6. Don’t Forget about Honeymoon Details

The honeymoon is the best gift after the wedding. Duh!   With all of the other details, the honeymoon details can often get overlooked.  You might have the flights and hotel already booked, but what about everything else? Square away any last-minute details without procrastinating. Get it out of the way. Better to get it organized now rather than later. The bride will be with you after the wedding, so if you’re planning any kind of surprise, now is the time to plan it – Don’t procrastinate! 

7. Be prepared for the adventure of your life

Perhaps the most important part of your groom pre-wedding preparations would be in your own heart and mind to be prepared for the adventure of your life. As you join your smiling bride, know that you are willing to give her 100% of your love and yourself as you face this new chapter together.

The bride always steals the show on a wedding. The groom often sits there like an important person whom people are too busy to notice. Who keeps them busy? The bride. The wife is slowly claiming her equal space in a marriage. Likewise, it is about time for the groom to claim an equal space at a wedding. For the Indian groom, makeup has been an awkward thing. But with the changing mindset of the Indian man, groom facial and various arrangements made for the groom, pre-wedding preparation are becoming a rage among them.
