For the Groom ~ A Simple Checklist (Courtesy of weddingdetails.com)
6-8 Weeks Plan rehearsal dinner with your parents. Consult with fiancée and arrange lodging for relatives and ushers from out of town. Select gifts for best man and ushers, to be given at the bachelor dinner or wedding rehearsal. Choose bride’s wedding present. Something personal, such as a watch or other piece of fine jewelry, is traditional. Make sure necessary documents – legal, insurance, financial, medical, and religious – are in order. Attend bachelor party (not the night prior to your wedding!) Pick up wedding rings, check engraving. Help fiancée with wedding invitations. 2 Weeks Make a date with your fiancée to get the marriage license. Arrange with the best man for transportation from the reception to the airport or train. Double check honeymoon reservations and hotel for wedding night. 1 Week Explain any special seating arrangements to head usher. Put the clergy member’s or judge’s fee in a sealed envelope and give it to the best man, to be delivered after the ceremony. Get your money and credit cards in order for your trip. Pack for your honeymoon. Remind best man and ushers of the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner details. Plan for your wedding toast Present gifts to attendants at rehearsal dinner. Arrange for rental returns.
Tips for Tipping (Courtesy of the Overwhelmedbride.com)
REQUIRED These are the vendors who, like waiters and waitresses, expect some sort of tip at the end of the night. NOT REQUIRED These are the vendors who do not expect any sort of tip but are very thankful when one is given. But nothing is ever REQUIRED of you. A tip is under your discretion and if someone did a terrible job, then you can reflect that in the tip you give them. BUT HERE'S THE GREAT NEWS, A TIP ISN'T ALWAYS MONEY You can show your appreciation with a few simple gifts including a small gift or bottle of wine, a double date out to lunch or dinner, a personal thank you note, an online review (this is HUGE for us!), or even a referral to a friend, co-worker, or someone you meet in passing.
