What are you letting you OH organise?

I have only given my OH one job so far and thats to sort and DJ and/or Band.

I feel like hes getting of lightley! What else can i get him to orgnise that isnt too major and has least potential for *** ups?!

My OH is helping me with everything but he didnt really want any specific tasks and I havent given any to him. We just sorta muck in together. The only thing he wont get involved in is the invites, as im such a perfectionist he doesnt want to get it wrong! lol!

Shopping for white shirts which are a certain sleeve length.  Get him to do some research in to cakes and flowers he likes (then twist them into what you like!), get him to book his normal hair dressers for the week before the wedding.

My H2B is organising suits, invites (as he works in design) and photography. We have done some joint planning though too, on things like music etc. Its his day too, so I wanted to make sure that his input is included in most things so we both get the most out of it :o) x

My husband got off very lightly but I like to be in control.

The only task I gave him (other than turning up) was the honeymoon and even then I had to stick my nose in. He also came with me to organise the ceremony and the cake. He also wrote the Bidding prayer for our service for his brother to read out.

What about letting him do the cars, mens outfits (just tell him the colour scheme), find ideas for the honeymoon or even arrange it as a surprise - cannot think of anything else that I perhaps would have let my husband loose on!

Same here!  We're a team!   

Specific jobs he had on his own so far have been the honeymoon which is all booked as a surprise    And the travel and hotel arrangements before hand (wedding night hotel, etc).

He picked his own suit, short & tie of course.  Everything else is a joint decision.  In fact, he chose the colour of the flowers for the tables! 

Weve already booked the Honeymoon - gah there was NO WAY i was trusting him to book that all by himself - i am a Trip Advisor FREAK so i had to read ALL the reviews before booking!

I might get him to have a look at suits and look into the cake.

He would be soooo uninterested in flowers - he was there when we met the florist and thats more than enough.

OH is completely in charge of suits, the only condition being is that he takes a swatch of fabric to ensure that any colours he goes with don't clash with the colour scheme. I am of course gently advising him on the best colours to go with in advance!

He is also in charge of the wedding breakfast music - our venue have said we can submit a CD to play in the background and for some reason OH has got quite enthusiastic about that so that's fine by me.

Apart from that I don't think there's anything else that he is exclusively doing!

Oh god i would be scared to death that OH would pick bloody star wars theame tune or something to play through the dinner!

Suits i think i will let him choose what he likes and then tell him he has to have what i like! JOKE!

We have very similar tastes so i think we will go and pick together - heres hoping he dosnt have a suit dilema like i had the dress dilema!

My OH is exclusively in charge of suits but everything else we've done together. Other than my dress and accessories lol. I made the invitations and inserts myself but he approves everything first :)

We chose our flowers together, he had more ideas than me hehe! And he even asked for his rose button hole to be slightly more open than the rest  I'd have never thought of that!

We are planning everything together (except obviously I will choose my dress on my own and he'll choose his suit). We're both getting married so I don't see why one person should lead on the planning and have never really understood the idea of "letting" (or not letting) the groom organise selected bits by himself - he is an adult too so I'm sure we can take joint responsibility!

we were supposed to be organising it together, OH had a few things to look after but I have to keep nagging to get him to do anything so it would have been less stressful just to do the whole thing myself!!!

OH is in charge of all the reception music and lights. We're having an ipod disco. I'm actually quite worried because his favourite band is The Fall and they are a very acquired taste. Everything else he is not the slightest bit interested in. He's buying his suit from Topman and he doesn't care what all the other men wear. Neither do I really.

We are doing everything together too. He is solely in charge of invite insides and information sheets. I also made him pick his suits - I picked my dress so only fair he gets to wear what he wants too!

Completely agree!
