Let’s face it, wedding mornings can feel like a whole lot of hurry up and wait for the groom and his crew. While hair and makeup start early for the bride’s side, the guys often don’t need to be photo-ready until midday. So how do you fill the hours before the cameras roll?

Here are a dozen modern ways grooms and their groomsmen are spending the morning:
- A gym workout or group fitness class
- Brunch with craft coffee or mimosas
- Nine holes of golf or a trip to the driving range
- A light hike or walk in nature
- A fresh shave and hot towel treatment at a local barber
- Finalizing or rehearsing vows
- Steaming suits and prepping boutonnieres
- Going over vendor timelines and prep lists
- Writing a surprise note to the bride
- Planning a surprise moment for the reception
- Casual game of cards or darts
- Espresso and a whiskey toast
Pro tip: Keep the guys engaged and relaxed with intentional time together. It’s not just about passing time, it’s about savoring it.
