We all know it can be tough getting your groom excited about planning the wedding of your dreams. But why wouldn't he want to discuss what shade of pink the napkins should be, or how many tiers the cake should be. OK... obviously these wouldn't be the first things your guy wants to get involved with. However, I know from experience how frustrating it can be when you feel ignored and that he isn't or wanting to be involved in the planning of your big day. So how can you get him more involved? Leave him out of the "girly" decisions, which you know he may not take seriously and give him responsibility more geared towards him.
One thing that most men enjoy is music. Give him the responsibility of scoping out a few DJ's to compare and help when choosing the music. The first dance or Mother/Son dance choices may not be as important to him but I bet his big Introduction song as well as the Garter Toss music would be fun for him to choose.
Another thing he would get involved in is the gift registry. Of course, picking out which dishes and silverware you want is maybe not the best choice for him, but many people register for household items as well as tools and electronics; sure things for any man to be happy about putting on their registry.
One important thing is to ask the Groom what he wants out of the wedding. Don't forget that it is his day as well as yours, and although he may not seem interested, there may be something that is more important to him than you think. Picking the transportation, for example, could be important to him... he may want to arrive in style! Rather than a limo, a classic car is something he wants to fit into the budget. These are all important things to find out.
Remember... the more say he has in aspects of the wedding, the more likely he is to want to help out and be more involved! So get your Groom and happy planning!
