The apathetic groom is a thing of the past and fortunately there are the free wedding planning iPad and iPhone apps that make sharing the planning chores so much easier. This is the new norm. traditionally men like to stick with the things that they know best like selecting the attire for the groomsmen and planning the wedding honeymoon. Today, more men are having their say about other things as well. They have realized that the wedding is something that their wife will always remember and putting their stamp on that memory is a huge bonus.

Planning a wedding is a humongous undertaking, why is it that if there is not a wedding planner the bride is left to do it alone. At least that is how it used to be. Grooms have come to realize that they want to have a say in a lot of the phases of planning. Major decisions like the date, time and place should not be left up to one person. There was a time when a groom was expected to just show up with the ring on time. that was yesterday's man , today the groom is taking an active role in the wedding planning from choosing the wedding vendor to the types of wedding flowers that will be used.

The wedding planning app for iPhone and iPad can be of great use to the groom as well since he will have a list of items to take care of. This is the same wedding planner software that is used by the pros. You can make full use of the app from the wedding budget calculator to the seating charts. Just as the bride and her family are traditionally responsible for the wedding and the reception you and your family are responsible for some items as well. Today this may not be as it once was, we are seeing more couples share all the expenses. There are many lists online today showing what the bride will need to consider when planning a wedding but not so many for the groom. Below is a list of the items that must be considered and that are traditionally taken care of by the groom and his family:

• The Rehearsal dinner to include: site, food, drinks and decor

• The rings : engagement and wedding

• Gifts: the brides, the best man and the grooms men

• Flowers: the brides bouquet, corsages for the bride and mother of the bride (this is an area best discussed with the bride) boutonnieres for the groomsmen

• Ties gloves vest cummerbunds (rent or buy)

• Marriage license and other tests and paperwork

Here at iwedplanner wedding website , we want the groom to feel that he is welcome, by downloading his own version of the free wedding planning apps for iPad and iPhone he can keep track of all that he has to do as well as communicate with the bride on all of the other plans as well.
