Hey there, future grooms of San Antonio! Your wedding is just around the corner, and we know you want to be all set for the big day. Don’t worry, we’ve got a simple checklist to guide you through it all, from looking sharp to staying cool and collected.
Taking Care of You
1. Skin Care
Start by taking care of your skin. Wash your face regularly, use some moisturizer, and remember to drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking its best. If you have skin troubles, it’s a good idea to see a skin doctor for advice and treatment.
2. Hair Care
Visit your favorite barber or hairdresser regularly to keep your hair looking awesome. Decide on your haircut well before the wedding, and don’t be afraid to ask your stylist for styling tips so you can recreate the look at home.
3. Smile Bright
Your smile is important, so consider teeth whitening if you want your teeth to sparkle. Also, don’t forget to visit the dentist for a check-up and cleaning. A healthy smile will shine brightly in your wedding photos.
Dressing Up
4. Find the Perfect Suit
Time to pick out your wedding suit! Start looking around at least six months before the wedding. Choose a suit that matches the wedding’s style and colors, and don’t forget to bring your bride along for her input. It’s a fun experience to share!
5. Tailoring
Once you’ve got your suit, get it tailored to fit you perfectly. This is super important! Make sure to bring your wedding shoes and accessories to the fitting, so the tailor can make all the necessary adjustments for a flawless look.
6. Outfits for Your Crew
Talk to your groomsmen about what they should wear. Make sure they know where to get their outfits and what style you’re going for. Consider giving them a small gift as a token of your appreciation for being part of your special day.
Staying Healthy
7. Stay Active
Exercise regularly to keep yourself feeling good and reduce any wedding stress. It’s also a great way to stay in shape for the big day. Consider joining a local sports club or fitness class to make it more enjoyable and social.
8. Eat Right
A balanced diet is important to keep your energy levels up and your mind sharp. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your meals, and try to avoid excessive junk food and sugary drinks. Your body and mind will thank you for it.
The Final Touches
9. Wedding Bands
Choose your wedding bands together, and make it a memorable experience. Consider engraving a special message or your wedding date inside the bands as a personal touch. These rings will symbolize your love and commitment, so take your time selecting ones that are meaningful to both of you.
10. Pack an Emergency Kit
Put together a small emergency kit with things like a sewing kit, stain remover, extra cufflinks, safety pins, and some mints. You never know when these might come in handy, and you’ll be the hero of the day if you can help out in a pinch.
11. Marriage License
Make sure to get your marriage license ahead of time. Check with your local authorities for the required documents and details. Consider designating a trusted friend or family member to be in charge of keeping track of all the important paperwork on the wedding day so you can focus on getting married.
Relax and Enjoy
12. Pamper Yourself
Take some time to relax before the big day. You deserve it! You can get a massage, visit a spa, or simply take it easy at home with your favorite movie or book. Stress-free grooms are happy grooms, and happy grooms make for a joyful wedding day.
13. Rehearsal Dinner
Plan a special dinner with your partner and your families to practice for the wedding. It’s a chance to spend time with your loved ones before the big day and make sure everyone knows their role. Consider sharing some heartfelt words or a toast to express your gratitude and excitement.
Your wedding is a super special day, and we want to make sure you’re ready for it. Follow this checklist to make sure you look and feel great when you say, “I do.”
