The Man Registry

Why is it always about the bride? What I really detest is when a bride is all about “Me, Me, ME!” Let’s be realistic, it takes two to tango and it certainly takes two to wed! In order to have a bride you must have a groom, in a traditional marriage anyway, of course it could be a groom – groom or a bride – bride but nonetheless, there is always a second person involved and usually the bride takes the lead and the groom gets dimmed in the shadows a bit.

The wedding industry is starting to see more grooms having opinions and visions and want to have their say and input on the details of their wedding and well deserved. I’m a big fan of a couple that share their visions and incorporate a little of both worlds into their event, rather than make it only about the bride.

For that reason, I’d like to share a fabulous link I came across! Who says all bridal registries need to be catering to women? Of course the couple will need all the wonderful things, Crate & Barrel, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bloomingdale’s and Macy's have to offer in order for them to have all the necessities a new wedded couple needs to embark on their life together. Why not add a wedding registry for the fellas?

Joint bridal showers are becoming more and more popular, so what would be more fun than having the groom’s friends purchase gifts that would cater to him? There can be some fun and useful items that could go on the groom’s registry, for example, a good tool box, beer mugs, and other great items that would make the groom happy! Usually the groom registry is not nearly as large as the regular registry is, but being able to have that as an option is not only cool, but your groom will really appreciate how involved he is in the wedding!

For starters, you could take a look at THE MAN REGISTRY to get some ideas for the groom to get more involved! On the website you are able to create a registry, look for a specific one you have in mind and much more! Check it out and enjoy all the manly goodies together!

The Man Registry Blog is also a great site to pass on to your groom, so he can get more into the planning process.
