10 days before the big day 

The groom is clearly excited and anticipating the wedding, which is in just ten days. He’s juggling nerves and excitement amid the last-minute rush of preparations with his schedule jam-packed with last-minute details, like making sure his suit fits flawlessly and that the groomsmen are dressed appropriately. No compromises are to be made. There is more, like coordinating with the wedding planner, verifying the guest list, and completing the seating arrangements are urgent tasks. Along with this, he’s carving out time for sentimental touches like choosing thoughtful presents for his near and dear ones. While the groom completes these tasks, he finds himself thinking back on the path that led him here and is overcome with a deep sense of love and dedication to his future spouse. The days are filled with a flurry of activity, but in the middle of all of that, he’s enjoying every second and counting down the days until their union celebration. Such many emotional involvements will lead one astray from putting the little things in place for themselves. This is where a thoroughly planned checklist comes into the scene.  

A checklist that prepares you for everything

An inclusive checklist must cater to the following needs: 

• Not going hungry: 

The groom should never go hungry amidst the hustle of the wedding. Thus, some snacking items must make their way to the priority list. Moreover, it is equally important to remain well-hydrated at all times.  

• Taking care of health: 

Routine medicines and other health-related products, such as first aid, must be treated as necessary. One might come across minor cuts and bruises, feeling worn down due to being very tired, or an upset stomach from all the delicacies. Thus, medicines catering to these common ailments must also be procured well in advance.  

• The perfect attire: 

Ensuring that the groom is perfectly dressed requires taking care of little details. The groom must be prepared with the perfect attire from tip to toe, including Safa/ Pagadi, kurtas, and mojris. Different dresses for different days require more detailed attention. Pins and extra buttons with needles and thread will be used to compensate for last-minute wardrobe malfunctions. A pile of comfortable clothes must also be kept ready to provide moments of comfort from the heavy dress-up throughout the ceremonies.  

• Personal Care: 

Personal care items like skin care, shaving, and grooming kits must also be kept handy. Despite the special attention paid to the groom’s dress during the wedding, such things help as a last-minute resort. To ensure the perfect hair and skin during the wedding chaos, personal care items routinely used by the groom must be used at all times. There are better options than trying experimental products just 10 days before the wedding.   

10 must-haves on the checklist 

Of all the critical stuff to be taken care of, 10 items to top the wedding checklist of the groom just 10 days before the wedding are: 

1. Gifts for everyone: 

When planning the customised gifts for the guests, it must be ensured that no attendee is left out. Presenting every attendee with a memento suited to them adds a sense of thoughtfulness and personal touch. This way, each wedding attendee will carry with them a remembrance gift of the beautiful celebration they experienced to honor the coming together of two people for eternity.  

2. Grooming kit: 

Despite the expenditures one makes during weddings, a personal grooming kit must always be present with the groom. Self-reliance on looking the best is preferable to depend on a service to arrive in moments of haste.  

3. First aid kit: 

A first aid kit that prepares one with commonly used medicines and bandages for small cuts and bruises is a must. Apart from these, the kit may also contain routine medicines so health is not compromised during the wedding excitement.  

4. Attire: 

Dresses for different occasions and the perfect fitting of wedding attire must be taken the utmost care of. A poorly fitting dress always draws attention to itself, and one wants to make sure to take advantage of their fun due to attire that does not go well with the desired measurements.  

5. Itinerary and contacts: 

The groom must have all the important contacts saved, such as the decorators, caterers, planners, etc. Also, the wedding itinerary, including the guest list, must be available with the groom to avoid any gaps.  

6. Snacks: 

Some lite-snacking light snacking items must be in the groom’s go-togroom’s go-to carry bag. Some sweet items help with cravings and boost energy, some salty munchies help with hunger in between meals, and some personal favorites of the groom. Amidst the wedding preparation hustle, the groom ought to take advantage of regular meals, but that should keep him from going hungry.  

7. Comfortable attire: 

While packing the designer suit and specially made dresses, the groom must also remember to pack some comfortable dresses and shoes. They will give a good relaxation time in between wedding rituals.  

8. Money: 

Some cash in different denominations must always be available. This is to avoid any inconvenience and facilitate quick transactions when required. Moreover, virtual money must also be readily available to facilitate unprecedented heavy expenses that emerge in unprecedented ways. 

9. Power bank: 

The most essential item nowadays is a power bank. With the phone not accessible, a lot of things become unfeasible. Even if using a charger may not be possible in all places, a power bank can be used everywhere. Thus, the groom must make sure to carry a fully charged power bank at all times.  

10.  Ornaments:  

Ornaments are not to be adorned by the bride alone. Specific ornaments and pieces of jewelry very well suit the groom’s entire outfit. Ornaments like rings, watches, brooches, and neck chains must be remembered. They complement the groom’s beautiful attire. Besides, they also add an aesthetic look with a personal touch.
