Groom Issues: Groomsman Gifts
By Jimmy Horner, WedNet Specialist Blogger on Groom Issues, The Man Registry, http://www.themanregistry.com
They’ve been with you every step of the way — through good times and bad. And now they’re ready to stand beside you on the day you say “I do.” As your groomsmen, they’ll be renting tuxes, planning your bachelor party, making toasts and helping out on the big day. How to repay them? Here are a few ways to say “thanks.”
Engraving something with the groomsmen’s initials is a nice way to personalize your groomsmen gift. Try engraving or monogramming one of these gift options:
. Pocket knife or pocket multi-tool
. Flasks or beer steins
. Shot glass set
. Corkscrews/bottle openers
. Wristwatches
. Cuff links
. Money clip
. Lighters
. Pens
. Business card holders
. Wallets
Avid sports fans will appreciate a gift that relates to their love of the game or the great outdoors, such as:
. Golf equipment
. Fishing gear
. Camping equipment
. Game tickets
. Gifts featuring logos of their favorite sports team. Browse our MLB groomsman gifts, NFL groomsman gifts, NHL groomsman gifts, and NCAA groomsman gifts
. Personalized Baseball Bat
Another option is to organize a group outing for you and the boys (on you of course). Popular ideas are:
. Casino night (or a Vegas trip if it's in the budget)
. Camping or fishing excursion
. Sporting event
. Concert
. Golfing
Finally, if your groomsmen support any major causes - a donation in their name is a very unique and meaningful gift.
The Bottom Line: No matter what type of groomsman gift you choose, the name of the game is to find a gift that will make your groomsmen feel appreciated (and help ease the pain of a pricey tux rental). Think of your gift as a memento of your wedding that your groomsmen will remember for years to come. Cheers!
