Gifts for Groomsmen Gifts?

katenjonathan

Okay we have a tight budget.  My Fiance wants all 4 of his brothers to stand with him as Groomsmen on our wedding day...  Now he is very adamant about paying for their Tux and about we are looking at paying for rooms for his family too...
Hate to ask this cuz I guess it sounds a little rude... but do we still have to buy them grooms gifts if we are paying for the Tux of each of them?

Yes, you do. 

But you don't have to spend a lot of money on it.  Have your FI sit down and think about what he might buy his guys on their birthdays. It certainly doesn't have to break the bank for him to give a little thank you gift.

Something for which they have no use outside of your wedding isn't a gift to them, it's for you.  You definitely don't need to do something super expensive if you're covering some of their expenses, but your FI should get them something, even just a small gift card to a favorite store.

My FI got all of the groomsmen customized cuff links to wear with any suit.  I'm not so sure about it, but he thought it was cool -- so if he thinks it's cool, I'm hoping his guys will, too!

yeah, at least get them a little something like a flask or cigars or something to show them you appreciate them being in the wedding and there for your special day.  also, i dont think you, the bride, should have to put the money out on the gifts. i think the groom should shell out his own money...just my personal opinion!
