wedding party gifts...

I have a very large wedding party and we are doing the gifts of course. For my girls I am getting their shoes, having wristletts maide for them with their names and our wedding date stitched inside, their jewlery, flower hair clips, custom mirrors for each and something else a small and personal from me.
For the grooms men I have no idea what to get. There is not one thing they all have in common or enjoy. I dont want to seem like I am cheating them out of anything and I know guys view weddings and the customs different then us ladies, but I still want to be fair and show them how much they mean to us.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: wedding party gifts...

  • Wow that's a tough one. You might just have to settle on a different present for each GM. It might help to discuss things with your FI to see his take on what the presents should be (maybe a man's perspective will help). Or browse through the catalog of www.exclusivelyweddings.com to maybe get some ideas for gifts. I'm sure things will work out for you!

  • If they are mainly your FI's friends, have him shop for them like it's their birthdays and pick out something personal for each one. 

    A sidenote--if you are requiring the bridesmaids to wear certain things beyond a particular dress in the wedding, those items aren't really gifts to them. 
  • Shoes? If they're for the wedding, that's not a "gift." If they're just a cool pair of shoes, have at it.

    I'd just set a price point (similar to what you're spending on your BMs) and buy them each something different. Sports or events tickets, a nice bottle of scotch and some glassware, or a GC to a restaurant they like could be ideas. Ask your FI for what they'd like. What would he get them for a nice birthday gift?
