One of the main comments I get from
grooms on the day of their wedding is, "
I wasn't nervous until I had to sit around this church for 4 hours." Women can easily primp and chat for 4 hours and the time will fly by. Guys sitting around having a beer watching the clock tick by usually adds some stress to the day.
I suggest if you love to golf get the guys up at 7:30 and make a tee time, I guarantee you will have some extra time in the morning. This will not only be a great bonding time but will get your mind off of the long day and help settle your nerves. Set up a nine hole game- add some fun competition or prizes at the end, and have one last morning with the men! Also, this will make sure all of your men are up and ready - you are all together and won't risk someone oversleeping or showing up late.
Make your
groomsmen gifts coincide with the nine hole activity by paying for a round for everyone as a thank you along with some personalized golf balls with your gift. Let your
wedding photographer know your plans and have them come out and get some great action shots so you will remember the day. Have a beer or two as normal, but please be cautious and don't have too many... your bride will not be too happy!
