For most people, their wedding day is one of the most
wonderful AND most stressful days of their life. Keep your
sense of humor! Here is how a groom can help the bride
before, during and after the wedding day:
1. Keep your
cool and take things lightly. A sense of humor is not
telling jokes but rather a way of looking at life. When you
cultivate a great sense of humor you begin to see different
connections. Remember that there is always another way of
looking at any situation. Poking fun at yourself is a great
way to break the tension when people are getting stressed.
2. If you're going to be making remarks at the reception,
plan on saying something humorous. If you're having a hard
time planning something funny to say, find a friend with a
great sense of humor. Sit down with that person in advance
and brainstorm a few ideas. A humorous story or embarrassing
moment is often a candidate for getting good laughs.

3. Although food and music are at the top of the list for
receptions and rehearsal dinners, don't forget to include
something fun. For example a strolling magician can keep
guests in good spirits while you wrap up those important
photos.
4. For bridesmaid and groomsman gifts, how about a gag
gift. If you want to give them a serious memento, consider
giving them two gifts; one to lighten the day and one for
memories.
5. For your Thank You card to acknowledge gifts and
attendees, consider a photo (holiday-type) greeting card.
Feature a funny photo from your honeymoon. Half the fun will
be thinking of cute photo opportunities. It will be a card
people will want to save.
