Information, inspiration & advice about North Queensland weddings. Killer Brides is your partner in crime…
|
Killer Brides loves a good wedding blog, but we have noticed that the boys tend to miss out when it comes to sources of wedding information that are aimed at the male reader. Some of the larger wedding websites have dedicated sections for grooms, but where can a guy go if he wants to find a site specifically for men?
Killer Brides asked our handy hubby-to-be to check out four wedding websites written specifically for guys and tell us what he thought. This review is a must-read your fiancé, groomsmen and male friends.
Staggered.com
First Impressions:
This website looks really great and is designed well, but it is obviously not Australian. (It's a UK site.)
Brief Description:
This site has heaps of good advice for grooms. It is simple and easy to navigate, but some of the information is not very relevant to Aussie blokes.
Which story, fact, article or picture did you like best?
Apparently, 4% of women and 1% of men are virgins on their wedding night.
What sort of guy do you think this site is suited to?
A stylish, middle-aged business type.
If this site was a beer, what would it be?
Pure Blonde

ThePlunge.com
First Impressions:
Article titled; ‘Is Wedding Porn Brain-Washing your Fiancé?’ I’ve never heard of wedding porn, but I like it already. This site knows how to get a guy’s attention.
Brief Description:
This site is great for Aussie grooms. The site covers everything wedding related, it looks good and easy to find your way around.
Which story, fact, article or picture did you like best?
An article about why a good wife is like a hiking boot. Also, I really liked that there is a spread sheet for a bucks’ party budget. I wish I knew about this when I was a best man!
What sort of guy do you think this site is suited to?
Australian blokes! This site great because it is suited to most age groups and all types of guys. Mostly, I think it would be appreciated by guys who have adventurous hobbies, like drinking beer and going bush with their mates.
If this site was a beer, what would it be?
VB or Fat Yak

Grooms Online

Looks good, but again obviously not an Australian site.

Which story, fact, article or picture did you like best?
I liked the checklists most.

Average guys, young to middle age, tradies.

GroomsdayBlog.com
First Impressions:
My first impressions were good and bad. A semi naked picture of Santa and a semi-naked picture of Jennifer Anniston left me with mixed feelings.
Brief Description:
I felt like this site was a bit less relevant to the wedding topic, but it had some bits of good advice, though the visual aspect was average.
Which story, fact, article or picture did you like best?
A checklist on the groom’s duties was good because it contains everything you need.
What sort of guy do you think this site is suited to?
A sensitive type who is probably middle-aged and maybe a dentist or a doctor.
If this site was a beer, what would it be?
Pure Blonde
