The Most Common Mistakes Grooms Make

Modern Wedding Posted: September 5, 2019

It's true, no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Having said that, your wedding day is one of those times when you want to avoid making mistakes as much as possible. For all the grooms out there, you can follow these simple guidelines to make sure you avoid those silly little mistakes. After all, happy wife equals happy life!

Happy Wife, Happy Life...

Most grooms will often let their bride hold the deciding factor in major wedding decisions, such as theme, date and location. This can often lead to the groom having a lack of interest in the actual wedding process. All you grooms out there, get involved! Your future wife will love the fact that you are taking an interest. For the brides, be sure to ask for his input to ensure he is also getting the wedding of his dreams.

Up All Night...

You've seen it in movies...the groom is running late to his wedding because his bucks party was too wild.  This is a major mistake that grooms should definitely avoid. These celebrations can be held weeks or months ahead of the actual wedding date. Try to avoid drinking away last minute jitters, and instead surround yourself with your supportive groomsmen. You need to make sure you are rested and relaxed when the big day arrives, not handling a horrible hangover.

Just Wing It...

Like any big presentation at work, the reception speech should also take time and effort to make perfect. Winging it or memorising your speech can leave you flustered when you’ve run out of things to say or forget to mention something crucial. Make sure you’ve got a tear jerking and entertaining speech prepared. You’ll have the wedding guests in awe of your adorable relationship.

Joke's On You...

Just like winging a speech, some questionable joking can create awkward pauses and will have you wondering what to say next. Joking about something your new father-in-law does or an inside joke with your wife probably won't land the way you want it to. Best to stick to that speech you have prepared!

Beyond The Budget...

You’ve plucked up the courage to pop the all-important question. Once you have your first ‘yes’, it can be tempting to start saying yes to all vendors in the hopes of creating your perfect day. Take a step back and plan a reasonable budget with your fiancé that you can both stick to. Struggling with the wedding budget? We have some tips that will help!

Word of Mouth Invitations...

If you’re the type of groom who wants to keep it low-key, you may not see the necessity of an official wedding invitation. However, wedding invitations are super important as they let guests know the date, time, dress code, and other important information. Get involved in designing your own physical invitation, or collaborate with your bride on a wedding website. You can save your time as well as the trees.

Skipping Class...

Whilst you may trust that your bride will make the right decision, you should always be present in meetings with wedding vendors. Not only will it involve you more in the process, but it will creating a beautiful bonding exercise for you both. Grooms tend to make this mistake often, so it will always reflect well on you as a groom to show up.

Present For Your Presence...

Some grooms do not see the gesture of giving a gift to their groomsmen as something they should have to do. It is likely that your groomsmen have helped with the planning and choosing of your suit and bucks party, as well as being a supportive friend in general. Giving back to them is a nice way of saying thank you. Click here for some amazing gift ideas!

Husband For Hire...

It can be hard to focus on your own wedding experience when you are concerned with that of your guests’. That being said, they can sort themselves out. It is not worth leaving your bride on the dance floor to help your Uncle find his lost wallet. Instead, let one of your handy groomsmen sort-out the situation so you can enjoy your own celebrations.

Stop And Smell The Roses...

On your wedding day, you are surrounded by friends and family who love you both unconditionally. Stop stressing about the nitty gritty and remember to enjoy the moment. Be present and mindful. Your wedding is as much about you as it is your bride. Make the most out of this day, you’ll only live it once.
