Groom Ideas: Personality
by Polkadot Bride
Kathryn from the gorgeous Snippet and Ink has created four fabulous mini boards for Polka Dot Groom along with some fantastic ideas to help the groom shine! Today we’re sharing the first of her creations with you.
I’m sure that most of the time, the wedding world comes off as incredibly bride-centric, and I hope that these four mini-boards will provide some groom-friendly ideas. I know I’m making some sweeping generalizations about what men like, and I don’t mean to imply that these are ideas that women wouldn’t like, but they are based on things that I know most of the guys in my life would enjoy…
Personality: It seems so often that even if a bride’s personality is able to shine through all the glitz of a wedding, the groom’s personality is lost. Here are some fun ways to let your personality show.

2. A groom’s cake is a great place to let his personality ring through. This graffiti-inspired one is by far the coolest one I’ve seen – it may actually be the wedding cake, and not a second one for the groom. (photo by Marie Labbancz )
3. Even with the most formal wedding, your save-the-date can be playful and casual, and an excellent opportunity to show of your sense of humor. (save-the-date photo from Justin Pocta via Weddingbee)
4. Whether you hire someone to roll them on site, or just have a box of cigars to hand out, they’re a very manly addition to the after-dinner hour. ( via Oh How Charming!)

Aww…I used to love the smell of a good cigar in a bar, restaurant or wedding – but now that everywhere in Chicago has gone non-smoking, I miss it!
Which brings me to bringing up this idea, which I’ve learned through attending many weddings this year:
If you’re planning on having your wedding indoors, in a non-smoking venue, try to find somewhere that has an outdoor patio or outside area close by, or right off the dance floor – where smokers can step out to within seconds.
This way you won’t have to worry about anyone missing out on your night because of stupid smoke breaks…because let’s face it – there are STILL a lot of smokers out there, and many smokers like to smoke when they drink. You know, it goes “hand in hand”.
This especially important if the bride & groom are smokers. Nothing worse than having to walk a mile away just to have a cigarette when the time already flies by as it is!
I know, I know – touchy subject…but smokers are not bad people, they just have a bad habit, that’s all! lol
Cheers!

I have to say that I’m not a smoker at all, but there is something about the smell of a really nice cigar.
I love those ideas. We had a Krispy Kreme doughnut groom’s cake for my husband. I had to have something that was all about him.
This is awesome. We have a bulldog, and my fiance’s one requirement for the wedding is that ‘Maverick’ is there. He’s going to get a kick out of this picture!
Love that cake! And, a cigar bar after dinner is perfect for the guys- coupled with some good cognac and other cordials. Wonderful!
My fiance and I are highly considering having a cigar roller for our cocktail hour. This is great inspiration!
Wow! That ’save the date’ was genius! So cute!
I was definitely the wedding planner of the two of us, but I didn’t want my groom to feel that he was just along for the ride. Part of what we did to express his personality was keep his attire simple – he had a plain white pocket square instead of a bout, and we had a no-tie policy for all of our male guests, as well as him. I figured, hey, what do I care as long as they’re happy? =)
I could not agree more! “Personality” filled weddings are so often so obviously bride centric (I know plenty of guys who love pink, but none of them will be marrying women). It always strikes me as sad. Surely you are marrying them because they have fantastic personalities??
Ha, that Save The Date is awesome!

I can honestly say that is the first I have seen of the save the date being written one someones forhead. But, I love it! So amazingly unique!

Hello there, a friend of mine passed through your blog and saw that I had some work on a post from today. It seems like this postcard has gotten a bit detached from me and I’d really appreciate it if you would help it from floating away all the more without any sort of sourcing. I just bought my flickr pro account back so that I could access my older work. Here’s a link to the image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/justinpocta/372973217/
Thank you!
