Bridesies!!! What did you get

or are you planning on getting your Groomsman?  Yes, I know..not really our decision, but let's be honest. Unless your soon to be has a plan of his own than he is like mine and well....they need some suggestions and motivation.

Re: Bridesies!!! What did you get

  • I totally agree about giving them a nudge.  I asked my fiance what he's getting his brother (BM) and my brother (GM).  He said "I have to buy them a gift?"  LOL.

    HIs brother loves cognac so we're getting him a nice/expensive bottle.  My brother has always wanted a pocket watch so we're getting him a pocket watch.

    Good luck with yours!

  • So far we've gotten them nice ties to wear the day of. Not sure if we're getting them anything else, might depend on whether they become more helpful within the next 74 days!

  • Honestly not sure. I keep nudging FI that he has to get them something, and when he asks me what to get I say "Shop like it's their birthday." But I'm not going to stress myself out shopping for his party! 
  •  I think we're going to get them a leatherman and engrave them...and we might do gift cards for dinner at Mohegan or something.  Both of those ideas were mine and FI liked them.  I was getting impatient waiting for him to give me suggestions lol.
  • We're getting them either a really nice bottle of scotch, ray-ban sunglasses, or a watch.

  • We got the guys their shirts and ties since we are letting them wear their own black suits instead of renting a tux.  We also got them cooler chairs.  Instead of a shirt, FI's stepbrother got a flask gift set.  He is in the army in Germany right now and is wearing his dress blues for the wedding and he just turned 21 so it fits him.

  • My FI got his guys different things.  He got a head-led head light for his electrician friend, an engraved knife for my brother and a wallet/money clip combo for his BM.

    Well we are on the fence about a few things....FI likes the idea of a Coach Wallet....but i'm just not sure.  He wants to get them something practical...and we are also getting their ties for the wedding.  Some other males friends of mine have suggested DAS BOOT ...engraved.  I mean they are guys...I wish we could just give them a few bucks adn tell them to have a blast!

  • DH got all of the guys cufflinks but personalized towards them.  Most were a sports team that they like.  Then for the Best Man DH got a golf putter. 

  • We haven't made a final decision yet, but we think we are going to get them their shirts with their initials monogrammed on the cuff, tie, maybe cufflinks and a guys version of an emergency kit, but with booze, cigars, etc.
