If you wake up with a big smile and a heavy hand because you are wearing a rock on your finger, just remember you are one of the lucky few who probably had a perfect proposal. Your fiancé is likely to be exhausted from planning the proposal, setting up the surprise, picking the right ring, and more. While he is tired, you are getting excited about the wedding and want to start making elaborate plans right away. But the process of getting the groom excited about the wedding and having him involved can be a task. So here are a few wedding tasks that might appeal to your groom and may even get him excited.
1. Plan a co-ed celebration
A youngsters party, as they are called are a sure fire way for him to get involved in all sort of planning decisions. Throw a bash for his friends , your friends and cousins in the mix and it will be the best way to kick of your wedding festivities.
2. Make Him Plan One Event His Way!
Now, we know tradition says the bride’s family pays for the wedding but there are things the groom and bride handle on their own dime. If you want to host a post-wedding brunch for your friends, it is best to discuss the budget for of these things with the groom and help him plan it out. He may have a good sense of the finances and will be happy to handle this as opposed to picking the center-pieces for the wedding.
3. Shopping For The Man
Surprise! Men know their style and fashion. Grooms usually have a clear idea of the outfits they want to wear for various ceremonies, so picking the groomsmen’s outfit might be very easy for them. So update him with your ideas, talk to him about keeping his outfit in tune with the theme and pick out a designer if you have to. What's better? Talk to his best friend and ask him to take the groom out shopping. Beers + awesome company + shopping + day out for the boys = happiness and relief for you!
4. Negotiating Skills Are Needed
Let your groom follow up on few things for the wedding like the photographer and décor people. This helps him build a relationship with the vendors and eases him into the chaos of the wedding. Plus you can totally keep track of the vendors and work out the wedding with minimal fuss. Your man obviously comes with great negotiating skills and knows his monies - so make the most of that.
5. Transport and Cab rentals
Wedding transport and cab rentals is all about logistics and timing. Leave it to the groom; just give him a thorough list of the number of relatives on your side who need rides. Leave the negotiating and pick- up/drop-off time for the men to figure out. Plus, rates and the types of cars etc is his territory and who are we to dispute that?
6. Keep Him In Charge Of The Bar
This one has got to be his favourite. If your man loves his alcohol ( which man doesn't) then have him decide the cocktail menu and even craft a signature cocktail. This will be something special that he will always remember. Plus, he knows his Grey Goose from his Ballantines - so let him go crazy!
9. DJ - Music - Playlist
Which guy doesn't like the responsibility of entertaining the crowd with music? Give him your favourite songs, ask him to make a playlist your friends will love and make sure he gets busy finding the right band and DJ for this amazing event.
10. Go Easy On The Bridezilla Vibe And Don't Overload Him With Wedding Details
This one is just for you. It's easy to be a control freak and order people around. You might just freak out because the roses not "your" kind or the wedding planner slacked on your Arabian lamps. This is ONE big reason, your man might get miffed and lose interest in the wedding. So make him comfortable, plan together and add to each other's ideas and views - let the wedding, just like your marriage be a joint decision.

7. Food Tasting & Cake Loving No matter what, ensure your groom has tasted the wedding food beforehand. People have different palates and he might be the best judge of what his family and friends prefer. If you want to try out all the cuisines, then make sure he's handy because he'll know the combos and pairings and what people love. Plus, if there's cake involved, he's gonna love it more! Remember, he's probably the best judge of the caterer. 8. Honeymoon Plans Once you have decided the destination and frozen on the dates just let the groom make all the flight booking, hotel accommodations and other things required for a memorable trip. Let him book those exotic couple-y things and try to get you involved in his adventures.
9. DJ - Music - Playlist
Which guy doesn't like the responsibility of entertaining the crowd with music? Give him your favourite songs, ask him to make a playlist your friends will love and make sure he gets busy finding the right band and DJ for this amazing event.
