Something Special For My Groom- Help!

Hey all-

as most brides who are in the midst of planning know, weddings are extremely bride-centric. My guy deserves (and I think secretly wants) something special for just HIM. I have ideas of how to make him feel special and let him know how much I adore and appreciate him, but I would love to hear some other thoughts!

Thank you in advance, my biggest fear is that he will feel extremely left out of the excitement and that would hurt my heart. ❤️ Not sure if this is the right category but it’s worth a shot.

Do you mean like a gift on your wedding day?

Honestly I’m not sure- gift on the wedding day, but also something special during our planning process. The parties, the events, etc... is there anything special I can do for him?!

When my husband and I were planning, he got me some flowers and the card said thank you for all you've been doing for our happily ever after. And I had scheduled a couples massage date so we could take time away from wedding planning to relax with one another.

While weddings in general are typically geared toward the bride, I can’t think of any actual events (like you mentioned in your previous comment) that the groom can’t participate in. My only suggestion is if someone offers to host a shower for you, ask if they would feel comfortable hosting a couples shower opposed to a bridal shower so that your FH and his friends can attend.

I made FH a Lovebook. It lets you design each page and pick out different pictures and words for each page.

I bought mine a card and a dash cam.... since I know his car is the second love lol. Something that to show that aI love him and his hobbies. But I hid it and I will leave it on the table the day of the wedding. Crossing fingers he will like it.

I know what you mean just a token of how much you appreciate them too. Maybe a ticket to his favorite team or something he wouldn’t buy for himself.

hope that helps!

I’ve noticed that bodouir photo shoots are very popular nowadays. Maybe you can take some bodouir photos for his eyes only 😉

Find out what’s important to him and have him involved of those aspects of planning.
Mine had 3 top priorities food, beer, and leaving with me as his wife, lol.
He literally didn’t care about anything else.
Oh and he really wanted strawberry short cake in the wedding cake, but it wouldn’t work as a tiered cake, so i ordered him a small one, that he didn’t get a piece of 😩

My FH loves Taco Bell, so we’re planning on doing some Taco Bell engagement pictures along with some at a nice park nearby. And for a day of the wedding gift, I’m thinking of giving him a tie with a special message on the back, so that in the future when we go out he can wear the tie he wore when we got married.

Yes to this! Find something he’s interested in or can get excited about. One of the things that was super important to my husband was the band we chose, so I let him have full authority over that. He was so excited and proud to see the band arrive and everyone on the dance for having a total blast!

If you want to involve him, do it. Ask his opinion on everything. Is there something you weren't going to do, like a garter toss, that you didn't talk to him about that you could ask his feelings on? I wasn't big on the garter thing but my fiancé was looking forward to it so now we're doing it. Some weddings I've gone to just have the groom and the GM come out with the pastor from somewhere on the side. Have him and the guys walk down the isle to their own song. Just ask him if there's stuff he wants to do too.
My fiancé has a saying. The wedding is all about the bride but the honeymoon is all about the groom lol Maybe ask him if there's something special he wants to do on your honeymoon?
Maybe give a special speech at the reception just for him. Possibly before your first dance? Just ideas

I completely felt the same way! I made sure to involve my husband in a lot of planning. He went on venue tours, catering tastings, cake tastings, helped put together invites & save the dates, guest list, doing our registry, he wrote little blurbs about each of his groomsmen on our website, he put together his groomsmen proposals, etc. For his bachelor party, I bought him a "groom" shirt, paid for drinks on the plane, paid for groceries at the rental house, and put together a snapchat filter for the weekend! I wanted to make sure it was super festive and his best man asked for help. As the wedding got closer, I planned a pre-wedding golf day with dads & groomsmen and a lunch following. I paid for him to get a fancy haircut & we bought him a nice shirt to wear to the rehearsal dinner & wedding. We also got a couples massage the weekend before!

This sounds so much like what I was looking for! Thank you. He’s been so involved with planning but it still pales in comparison to the focus on the bride and I can tell it means something to him.
