What are you and FI giving your groomsmen?  I am giving my girls their earrings and a shawl to wear on that day plus some individual items based on what they  like. FI doesn't like the idea of giving them all different things.  What did you do?

    Cufflinks. FI had me cracking up when I told him that it is customary to give gifts. He was in each of their weddings and they didn't give gifts. He said they better be happy I'm forcing him to give them something. Ha! - Men I swear....

    I am giving our bridesmaids bracelets w/ their initals engraved on them in a jewerly box and our groomsmen will be given dual flasks that have a cigar side. They will be engraved also and already have a cigar in them with scotch for a special toast we are doing for FI's great grandmother.All gifts I found in the wedding store on the Knot.

    My FI said he wasn't giving his groomsmen anything either...lol  He was in each of their weddings, including his brother's, and none of them gave gifts.  Well his brother paid for my FI's tux for their wedding, but that was about it.  So I'm not going to sweat it either..lol
