Get Your Groom Involved

Virtually every bride in North America has the same problem. Their groom seems reluctant to get involved in the process of planning the wedding. There are many theories about why grooms tend to shy away from the wedding planning arena, and no doubt many of them have merit. But the real question at hand is what do we do about it? Is it possible to get your groom active in the wedding planning process?

Actually, the answer is yes - and in many cases it's an easy fix. Often not only can you get them involved in your wedding plans but you can get them to gladly take over many of the tasks that take up so much of your time.

That means that you can be rid of the worries about making sure that your cousin John or Aunt Debbie has the date and time of your wedding. This is because once they have the web address and password for your wedding website they can check on the latest changes whenever they want to so now, instead of a second formal mailing a simple email reminder to check the website for the latest information is all that is needed.

Instant Access to Your Planner
