A groom's checklist Use this now, instead of doing a whole lot of explaining later Return to planner index | Budget worksheet | Who pays for what | Timetable | The groom's role | Honeymoon checklist EDITOR'S NOTE for all you grooms-to-be: This is a guest commentary from The Web Guy here at Cape Fear Images, where we take the "fear" out of your "Cape Fear Wedding." Sorry about the chocolate brown and mint green. But you're just going to have to put up with our color scheme. Get used to it: For the next several months, you have absolutely nothing to say about colors. From one guy to another, believe me: After your wedding is over, you'd much rather have your bride grateful for all your help than asking how you could manage to screw up the few things you were supposed to handle. So to help make your part of this project foolproof, bookmark this page. Print it out. Make several copies. Keep one wherever you keep your financial records, one in your office, another one in your wallet. But keep them handy. And use them! For a hard copy, use our printer-friendly version. Open the page for printing: Up until the last couple of months, most of the decisions are ones you and your fiancee' should be making together. That means you don't have to fly solo just yet. Our main planning timetable covers these steps. Check it out without losing your place here: Your first piece of business, aside from paying close attention to whatever your fiancee' tells you, is to be sure you know how to log in to the planning profile section of this site. By the time you're reading this, she has undoubtedly signed you up, and checked off all the products and services she'll be wanting. Go ahead, admit you've forgotten the login and password, and ask her for them. She'll be impressed that you're interested. Get familiar with her list, and check out the vendors it brings up. (They know about you, and some of them will be sending you stuff to read. So you might as well know about them, too.) Log in to your profile: Next, make notes on the contacts you'll have to deal with. Write down the pertinent data so you can get in touch with them on short notice. Be sure to get the name of a human being at each place who is familiar with your plans, orders, measurements and such. Even if you never need to ask for them by name, your fiancee' will be impressed when you casually mention "Frank at the jeweler's." Also: put that login and password here, too. Groom's vendor list
Now for the checklist. In the online version, we've taken the liberty of supplying links to information about most of these topics. Because, face it, most of us aren't experts on tuxedos or two-tone platinum rings before we decide to tie the knot. If you can use all the help you can get, follow those links! The printer version doesn't have the links, but includes a reminder for each subject that there is a relevant resource, either on this site or in the Cape Fear Wedding sourcebook. Good luck, congratulations, and above all remember: DON'T PANIC. You'll do fine.
