Check List for
the Groom
One Year Check List
These days the groom plays an important role
in wedding planning, too. Your fiancé will work with you
on many facets of the wedding and will handle some things on his
own. Some Grooms will get more involved that other. Allow him to
contribute what he can. Here's a checklist to help him remember
all the details: |
|
9-12 Months Before the Wedding
- Buy the engagement ring, and arrange for a special
presentation.
- Discuss the wedding date and budget with your
fiancee.
- Choose your best man and ushers. (One usher per
50 guests.)
- Select your wedding rings together.
- Plan the honeymoon.
- Help with the guest list.
