Ok, so I know what I'm going to be getting my BM's/MOH, but FI and I are at a loss of what to get the GM's. Any ideas? Also, what is the amount that should be spent? Is around $50 too much or not enough?? I spent about $50 for each of my BM's.

Thanks!
Anniversary

    FI was clueless what to do for his GM's too so he finally decided on giving them a bottle of their favorite liquor and a framed picture of the their whole group on the party bus next month in a frame that says "The Guys". He's doing a little something extra for his best man, but isn't sure yet. There are 7 of them so he couldn't go too crazy with the spending..

    I think we (I- haha) am going to get GM this 6 pack cooler thing that keeps drinks cold and allows you to transport them and fill it with beer. I think they cost about $40 each - maybe more?

    We got them each a flask personalized with their initials along with a bottle of their favorite liquor. We also put $20 toward each of their tux rentals. We want to do a little extra for the best man, but we aren't sure what yet. Should probably get on that...

    We got each groomsman a pair of the original top gun aviators...I want to say they were about $70-80 each (we got them at Lens crafter, who has a AAA discount).

    We got our boys custom jerseys.  Most of the guys are big Mets fans, so DH got them Mets jerseys with their last name on them.  The rest got a custom jersey for a team they like.  They all loved them, and it made for some cute pics when they wore them when the bridal party was introduced at the reception.

    I was actually thinking of doing that. All of the GM's are Pats fans so we were thinking of doing the jersey with their name on the back and the number 11 since we're getting married in 2011.

    Similar to pp, each GM got a gift card and a bottle of Jameson (Irish wedding party!).  After the wedding I printed off pics and put in a frame for the guys - girls got a mini brag book type album as well.
