Lovegevity’s Wedding Planning Institute is excited to welcome Nadia Lewis of N’Chantment Events to the blog today. According to Nadia, “N’Chantment Events is a Wedding and Event Planning business owned and operated by Nadia Lewis, a Certified Wedding and Event Planner. It is located in the Bronx and provides service throughout NYC. It was established in 2010. N’Chantment Events provides quality service that exudes elegance and charm through creating an atmosphere that clients, as well as their guests, will not only enjoy but will cherish as an experience of their lifetime while meeting every client’s budget.” Today Nadia will discuss a few ways to make every groom feel special. Afterall, it’s their special day, too! Here are a few of her tips:

1. Have a sports-themed shower for the groom and a few of his best friends and male family members, packed with beer, chips, pizza, sandwiches and Buffalo wings. The gifts should be exclusively for the groom.

2. Make the groom’s cake a must at the wedding, and incorporate the groom’s favorite hobby into the design.

3. Let the groom walk down the aisle to a song of his choice.

4. Incorporate the groom’s favorite color into the reception. Assuming that the groom likes navy blue, for example, a bride could incorporate it into the table linens or use it as the font color on menu cards.

5. Make plans for a surprise performance for the groom by either the bride or a paid entertainer, such as singing the groom’s favorite love song.

6. Honor the groom’s mother by allowing her to walk with the bride and her mother down the aisle.

7. Let the groom be completely in charge of an aspect of the wedding, such as the music or photography.

8. Send the groom and his groomsmen to get pampered, for example by planning haircuts, massages etc.

9. Give the groom a wedding-day gift of something he loves to do or watch. Sports tickets or personalized sporting equipment are great suggestions.

10. Get the groom’s opinion on male-geared favors for the reception.

Thanks, Nadia, for these fabulous ideas. It’s a great suggestion to make sure that the groom enjoys the wedding day, too, and also feels special.
