Just As your marriage will be partnership, so should the planning of your wedding. Traditionally, your responsibilities as groom have been less than those of your bride. Today, however, you play a vital part in assuring a well-planned and beautiful wedding. Use our checklist to keep everything running smoothly until the honeymoon begins.

6 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING

• Purchase wedding rings.
• With your fiancée, determine the number of guests to be invited to the wedding
  and begin your half of the guest list.
• Select your best man and groomsmen.
• Arrange an appointment with your officiant to discuss and plan the ceremony.
• Discuss honeymoon plans with your fiancée and begin making reservations for lodging and transportation.
• Remember to update your passport if you will be traveling abroad.

4 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING

• With your fiancée, select your wedding invitations, announcements, and other wedding stationery.
• Complete your guest list and give it to your fiancée.

2 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING

• Select formal wear and schedule tuxedo fittings for you and your groomsmen.
• Call your county clerk’s office for the marriage license regulations of your state.
• The license is usually issued the day you apply; however, restrictions on the license may also apply. Discovering waiting periods and blood test requirements now eliminates hassles in the busy weeks before the wedding.

6 WEEKS BEFORE THE WEDDING

• Purchase gifts for your attendants.
• Favorites among groomsmen are small leather goods, money clips, beer mugs or fine writing instruments.
• Present gifts to your groomsmen at the bachelor party, rehearsal dinner or other occasion before the wedding.
• Purchase a wedding gift to your bride.
• Select a timeless gift she will cherish forever, a heart-shaped diamond pendant or a string of pearls is always perfect.

• Discuss the "get-away" transportation with your best man.
• Confirm rehearsal dinner arrangements.
• Confirm honeymoon reservations.
