Your Partner Should get a SAY!!

Our Partner Should Have a Say Too: Why Grooms Need to Be Involved 🤵🏽‍♂️✨

There’s a long-standing myth that weddings are “all about the bride.” But let’s be honest—that mindset is so outdated.

A wedding is a celebration of two people choosing each other, so it only makes sense that both voices matter in the planning process. Still, it’s common to see grooms pushed to the sidelines—either because tradition says so, or because they’re labelled as the partner who “doesn’t care.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Let’s talk about why involving your partner—yes, the groom!—is not only important but totally game-changing.

1️⃣ It’s Their Day Too

From the venue and vows to the playlist and party vibes, your wedding should reflect both of your personalities. Grooms deserve just as much say in the details that make the day meaningful. Maybe he cares about the whisky bar, the suit cut, or the first dance song—whatever it is, his preferences matter.

2️⃣ A Stronger Connection

Planning together is about more than decisions—it’s about partnership. It’s a time to dream together, compromise together, and create something that reflects your shared story. When both people are involved, the day feels more intimate and deeply connected to who you are as a couple.

3️⃣ More Fun, Less Stress

Let’s face it—wedding planning can be overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be. When you split the responsibilities, you share the workload and the wins. Delegating makes the process feel more like a fun adventure than a solo mission—and you’re in it together.

It’s time to ditch the outdated “clueless groom” stereotype. Instead, let’s normalise weddings that are co-created, collaborative, and a true reflection of both people standing at the altar.

Because the best weddings aren’t just beautiful—they’re authentic, balanced, and built by two people who are equally invested in making the day unforgettable. 💍✨
