One of our favorite blogs from down under is Polka Dot Bride...Ms. Polka always has fantastic posts and planning tips! This month she is dedicating her blog for a little {groom 101} time and Mr. Polka is stepping in for some blokey blog talk!
The Polka's were kind enough to feature {ritzy bee} as a guest to kick-off their groom series. We put together a mini {Groom's Guide} on what groom's can expect to be helping with along the planning way...things like...

- Ask your attendants
- What? Your attendants will be serving as ushers on the wedding day and will possibly be giving a toast or two so choose wisely!
- When? It’s a good idea to decide and ask attendants and your best man soon after becoming engaged.
- How many? It’s up to you and your fiancée…it will depend on the formality and size of your wedding and on what the two of you feel is the right size.
- What else? Don’t forget you will need to be thinking about gifts for your guys as a {thank you}. Whether it’s a round of golf, cuff links or tickets to a sporting event…try to buy based on their personalities and likes {and something they would actually use}.
Be sure to check out the entire post here on Polka Dot Bride Groom and stop back by there the entire month for more groom {grooming} talk!
I loved your segment! Great points -- I wish I had had them when I was getting married!
