We are planning a weddding fair on Sun 7th March 2010 and we have made sure that the guys are suitable entertained. I must admit my husband DID hate every minute of a wedding fair, but as a wedding supplier I have had many men being throughly involved in stationery and the likes. So at out wedding fair we do a have a bar, but also a talk/demo on groomswear as well as cars for them to drool over. Anything else we need? x I totally agree with you.

A man creche is just yet another part of the rather depressing image of a heterosexual man that is foisted upon us by the media, and even more depressingly, often by ourselves. Yes, I am a man. Yes, I like football, beer and women among many other things. However, I am not an idiot who only likes these things and nothing else and who thinks that the WKD ads are the height of wit. In short, I would not only not attend a wedding fair that I knew to have a 'man creche', but I would also be very reluctant to patronise any of the vendors who were exhibiting there. Why? Because it is offensive to men who have even a tiny amount of self- respect and aren't completely stupid, and if your bride to be can't grasp that then count yourself fortunate to have seen the error of your ways and cease all wedding plans now. Failing that, start a fair based around some kind of traditionally masculine event/ pastime and install a 'bird cage' complete with ponies, kittens and lashings of pink. Because that's what girls like, right? Here endeth the rant. Ho hum.
