Groom (& Bride) Scorecards for Sale!

At the request of numerous readers and blog enthusiasts, the Groom and Bride Scorecards are now for sale here on The Groom Says!

I know what you're thinking. "I already have one of those." Well, that's highly unlikely -- unless you're one of the five people in the WORLD who currently has one or the other.

I copied it from his site and put it on my desktop 

because I thought it was hysterical. 

- Anne Chertoff, AOL's Aisledash.com

And I know what else you're thinking. "What charity is my money going to?" Not a single one. To be perfectly honest, the money is going straight into our honeymoon wedding fund, which grows inch by inch, dollar by dollar every day. Call it a good cause if it makes you feel better.

I insisted that Brian send me over one and it’s 

pretty hilarious ... I’ll add certain points to my 

scoreboard, sometimes even if I haven’t really earned 

them ... you know, I can get points for bathing multiple

times in a day. ... If I take two showers, 

that’s an extra bonus point. 

 - Chris Easter, The Man Registry

As Promised: The Bride's Scorecard

While he wants nothing to do with the event itself, it's wrong for the groom to not make some sort of scene at the Bridal Shower. So aside from my duties on-camera as part of the How Well Do You Know Your Groom? quiz, I took the week prior to our NC departure to design the official counterpart to the Groom's Scorecard (or Groom Points Tracker), which I unveiled back in November. 2E's had been hounding me for months to create a score sheet for brides, wives and girlfriends alike.

(It was inevitable, really.)

Grooms -- it's not exactly the apocalypse, but it is a taste of what's to come. Hold onto your balls.

Who Scored the Scorecard

Last week I introduced the first Groom Says Giveaway, an opportunity for brides and grooms alike to write in and tell me why they deserve an original, limited edition, FREE laminated Groom Says 2010 Scorecard. This prize has so many adjectives it's almost silly.

We had five excellent entries ... and it was a close call ... but the scorecard goes to CINDY! 

[dramatic balloon drop insert here]

Here is a snippet from Cindy's very convincing argument:

"An example of how wonderful my fiance is: one Sunday afternoon he put together a brand new bookcase he bought for me then helped me completely clean my room (vacuuming, dusting, purging of old items, etc.) and then moved my furniture around until it was perfect. All this took about 4 hours. Then as if that's not enough, he then helped my parents remove all the furniture from the family room (couch, desk, computer, recliners, tables, tv, etc) so the carpet installation people could come the next day and then he helped them put all the Christmas decoration stuff in the crawl space under the house. And that's just one example of all that he does. He really is extremely deserving!"

Yes he is, Cindy! Why? Not necessarily because he helped you clean your room. Cindy's fiance spent his Christmas helping his future in-laws move furniture and take down their decorations. This is a serious health and wellness issue. Cindy's guy accrued hundreds of points over the holiday break and clearly has no means of keeping track. This must end.

So Cindy -- send me an email at thegroomsays@gmail.com and tell me how I can get your guy on the right track.

Mucho thanks to the other four contestants. Tim -- hang in there buddy. Help is on the way.

Love,
Madman

GROOM GIVEAWAY!

I am thrilled to announce the first Groom Says Giveaway!

Groom Points: The Scorecard

Men need lists.

It's something I learned from my father. He never goes anywhere to buy anything without a list containing precisely those things he needs. Even if it's a post-it note with a single item, he still folds it and pockets it. To go in there empty-handed would result in disaster.

And so, after receiving such a warm response from the Groom Points post, I thought it only appropriate to create a Groom Points Tracker -- a scorecard with which men can keep an accurate account of the points they've earned through chores, favors and deliberate purchases.

Groom and boyfriends alike - this is for you. Brides and girlfriends - you've been warned.
