WEDDING SEASON TIPS FOR GUYS

With Wedding Season around the corner, it never hurts to stand out and show your love through personal style and unique gifting.

IT’S ALL IN THE CARDS

You’re getting married — congratulations! Now it’s time to figure out how to pay for it. The cost of a wedding may be intimidating, but you can lessen the impact on your wallet by maximizing credit card rewards and perks. A credit card's incentives could earn you several hundred dollars toward your honeymoon or a purchase. Or you could finance a much-needed wedding expense — even an engagement ring — with a credit card and get interest-free breathing room while catching up on payments. The right credit card for your wedding should be as compatible with your expenses as your partner is with you.

SUIT UP FOR THE BIG SHOW

This isn’t the high school prom. Rented suits never fit properly and always look cheap. Break the mold and buy. You should look like you’re attending a wedding, not giving a PowerPoint presentation. Suiting up in something new rather than a rental or boardroom leftover is the first step. And despite your best instincts, your energy and hard-earned money are better spent on tailoring. An inexpensive but impeccably cut suit will look like a million bucks. Plus without a fine fabric to lay the foundation, it’s tough to construct a winning wedding suit. A slouchy, shapeless blend will leave you looking, well, slouchy and shapeless. Weighty wool, on the other hand, will do just the opposite.

CELEBRATE WITH THE PERFECT SUMMER, SIGNATURE, SEASONAL LIBATION

You don't have to serve a wedding signature cocktail. You don't have to serve any drinks at all if you're hosting a sober wedding. Or, you can serve beer and wine to guests and skip spirits altogether—whatever makes you and your partner happiest. However, offering a signature cocktail is a creative way to include liquor at your wedding reception without offering an open bar. Plus, it's a creative way to personalize your wedding in a small, sweet way.

GIFTING COMFORT AND REST AFTER THE BIG DAY

Your wedding party has put in some seriously hard work, so why not show the crew some love with thoughtful wedding party gifts? From hosting the bridal shower to guarding the rings, they've all helped you have the day of your dreams and shown you how much you mean to them. Now, it's time to return the favor with a carefully chosen present. Nothing with gifting some amazing sleep accessories— you know they’ve earned the rest!
