Groom's Checklist

If you read wedding blogs like ours or hang out on any of the big wedding web sites, then you know that there are about a bazillion checklists for brides. There are bridal beauty checklists, bridal accessory checklists, and pre-wedding checklists galore. What we don't see too often are checklists for grooms, and let us tell you... as wedding disc jockeys in Denver, Colorado, we see plenty of grooms, some messy and some dashing.

That's why we decided to create our own groom's checklist for all the guys out there who want to be prepared to walk down the aisle in style.

Three Months Before Wedding
Choose your menswear and either purchase it or reserve it. Remember that when you're shopping for a tux, your body type matters almost as much as the formality level of your wedding.

One Month Before Wedding
Schedule your fittings and alterations. Don't think you can get away without getting your suit or tuxedo altered, and TRY IT ON IN ADVANCE! There's nothing sillier than a man with a size 30 waist walking around in size 40 trousers.

One Week Before Wedding
  • Go for a haircut.
  • Get your nails buffed and manicured.
  • Purchase new boxers... seriously.
One Day Before Wedding
Pick up the menswear and again, have everyone TRY EVERYTHING ON. Take no chances! If you are renting, double check for correct size of all the elements: trousers, jacket, tie, shirt, cummerbund or vest, cuff links, shoes, and socks. Pack everything up.

On the Wedding Day Morning
  • Go for a close shave.
  • Take a hot shower.
  • Remember the deodorant.
  • Take one last glimpse in the mirror to ensure your perfection.
Good luck!
