I recently tested out the game and can personally vouch that it adds an intriguing twist to the world’s best drinking game. [$9.99]

Portopong

Portopong – If you’re a beer pong fan and haven’t heard of Portopong yet, we want to know what rock you’ve been living under. Play pong in a swimming pool, basement, hotel room or on any flat surface with the 6ft. x 3ft inflatable surface. [$49.99]

Football Beer Pong Table

Football Beer Pong Table – Some guys dream of  becoming NFL players or astronauts. However, if you aspire to be the world’s greatest beer pong player, you’ll need a regulation size table to practice on.

Beer Pong Rack

Nice Rack – The Nice Rack holds cups in perfect formation while play is going on – this way, you don’t have to worry about cups sliding around on a wet table, tipped cups or a huge mess after the game is over. However, the best part about this rack is that you can freeze it before the game so your beer will remain cold during play. [$27.95]

By Private Trade Winds

So you’re tasked with planning the honeymoon of your dreams. Now what?  Do you pick a villa on a private beach, a romantic cruise around the world, or what about a trek through India?  Where do you even begin?  Instead of stressing out, why not let a professional design your perfect honeymoon, while you focus on the big day? Your wife will think you are a hero for life.

Think about it. 90% of the battle of finding the right person has now been completed, and now comes the “fun” part – planning an unforgettable honeymoon.   Every husband to be faces the same pressure – rifling through numerous details to find the perfect destination that fits both ideals, booking the flight, choosing the perfect hotel or resort, AND making sure that the small romantic details such as having sparkling champagne flutes on your bedside, will be in place.  Your honeymoon trip should be a memory that both of you have waited your entire lives to fulfill, and there’s no need to be wasting your time on endless websites or on hold with various hotel concierges.  No.  You want luxury. You want value.  You want the freedom to have both.

Ask yourself…What would make our honeymoon memorable?  Wouldn’t you want to be bathed in luxury and comfort on a vacation personalized to your unique tastes?

OK guys, everyone gives out wedding planning advice. Most (myself included) forget everything they hear.  I’m gonna let you know of 5 easy tips you can make to make the planning process easier on the groom and  bride.  And if we’re honest here…a happy Bride makes the process SO MUCH EASIER!  So take heed fellas, grab a pen or hit print on your computer and file these away for a rainy day so you can surprise your Bride-to-be with your awesomeness.

Be A Groom Who Takes

By this I mean take stuff OFF her plate.  Go through the things on her “need to do” list, find stuff that you’re interested in and take them over.  It’s not that tough and could be fun.  If you like music and food, take those and own them.  Look for DJ’s or bands, get their demo cd and check them out.  Go to the hotel and talk to the chef, see if you can help design the menu.  You will of course want to take your fiancé to the tasting but you can do all the leg work leading up to it.  Don’t just sit back and let her try to do everything.  The marriage is a team effort, so is the wedding and the planning should be as well.

An involved groom equals a happy bride.

Listen, Listen, Listen

As the planning process goes along, your Bride is going to need to talk to you.  You must listen to her.  She may not need you to fix anything, she may just need you to listen.  (If you get confused, as I do…ask her what she wants you to do, but ask nicely)  Sure there are forums and what not, but sometimes she will have to talk to you.  Be patient and see what she wants you to do.  She may be complaining about how many DJ’s she is having to contact (See above section) if she is complaining about getting overwhelmed, then see if she wants to hire a planner (Here’s a good one). The most important thing to do is listen to her.

Take Time For The Two Of You

Make time for the two of you to do stuff that isn’t wedding related.  Sounds simple but a lot of people forget this one.  Go out to dinner, but don’t talk about the wedding, go see a movie, you’re not even allowed to talk there.  Go out with friends and have a good time.  Try to do something non wedding related at least once a week.  It’ll help you get back to normal.  My wife and I run this company together, we work together every day, it’s pretty hard to not talk about wedding planning at dinner…but we try and so should you.  It helps.  So feel free to surf blogs and gossip pages while you’re at work so you have something to talk about when you get home.

Give A Little Along The Way

Give her stuff, it doesn’t have to be huge things.  Sometimes flowers and a nice card will make all the difference to her.  Things to let her know you are thinking of her and you love her and you can’t wait to get married to her.  You can set this up in your work calendar so you get prompted when the time comes.  She’ll think it’s spontaneous (but you’ll know better)  You can get romantic about it and as the days lead up to the wedding, you could send her something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.  Just be sure to explain it in the card you attach.

Don’t Be Afraid To Speak Up

Speak up grooms!

This wedding is a combination of both of you.  Don’t forget this.  Sure you need to listen to her, but you need your ideas heard as well.  Don’t let her mash all your ideas into the dirt like a poorly protected quarterback (holy crap, I think that is my first sports reference in 2 years of writing this!!!)  Sure you may need to compromise on some of your ideas, but make sure you are heard and that she listens to you as well.  The wedding should be a true combination of BOTH your personalities, just as the marriage will be down the road.

Simon’s Gutsy Groom Advice

The planning process can take its toll on couples, that shouldn’t be news to anyone.  But there are simple ways you can help to make it easier.  If you don’t support her, the whole thing is gonna suck, if you don’t get your ideas heard, you may get angry and resent you never got the wedding you wanted.  So try to make the wedding planning process a team thing. It can be fun.  It doesn’t have to be work.  How tough would it be to have the boys over on a Saturday, break out the bottles and concoct your signature drink?  Yeah, not that tough really is it!?!?  Will it really be a chore to eat a few steaks to see which one you like the best?  Nope.  So grab that list, take over some items and get on that.  Own those items guys.  She’ll love you for it…wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

So in closing, take the time to just hang out with your fiancé, and you can start this over the holidays as well.  Not every conversation needs to be about the wedding, if she doesn’t believe you…show her this E-zine.  I’m apparently an expert in this stuff so my word counts.  Good luck guys, I know you can all do it.
