May 2012 Weddings

Show me your....

Groomsmen gifts! or what you're thinking about doing for groomsmen gifts.

FI would like to do a combo of something similar for everyone and also a little something that is more personal.

Our ideas so far had been: personalized poker sets, beer mugs, knives...but we're not sold on any of them. I (we) need some inspiration!

I know that we're supposed to shop like it's their bdays, but we don't buy them gifts for their bdays, so we're really at a loss for what to do!

Missing Our July Sparkler
BFP-11/12/12, MMC 1/16/13-baby stopped growing @ 9wks, found out at 13wks, D&E 1/25/13 Anniversary]

Re: Show me your....

  • I don't have pictures but we found a bunch of stuff through etsy. We got the groomsmen beer mugs with their first initial on it along with the date and a tux on the front. We also got each a 6 oz flask that also had their name, title, and our wedding date on them. Everything was really reasonable.

  • I want to do 2 etched pilsners for the guys, but we haven't bought them yet.  I found some Etsy sellers who are reasonable, but the shipping is killing me- like $60-70 for 10 glasses.  I think we're going to check out a few local places and see if they can do the etching, and if not we'll have to decide if we want to spend that much on the shipping or not.  I feel like the guys have been SO much harder to shop for than the girls!

  • We got each of our GMs a personalized grill spatula & we are going to put them in a Chefmate grill mitt along with a few different types of meat marinades. Here is a picture of the spatulas (we ordered them from Etsy):



    We ordered each of them to only say the GM's last name, nothing else.

  • We got the entire WP and really nice shot glass with their name etched in it.  Each GM got a pint of their favorite liquor to go with it.  We haven't decided what else to put with them.. although the grill spatula is a great idea!

  • We got pewter glass bottom beer mugs for all the guys with their initials monogramed on them.  The guys didn't really do much except for the bachelor party (all of them didn't even go :-( ), so that should be more than enough I'd hope!

  • We got them these with just their names on them.

    We got them personalized cooler bags, and we'll probably put a six pack of beer in it.  I hope they like them. :)  And, we paid for their tuxes.
  • We're getting them personalized pint glasses with a cartoon pic of them and a growler of local beer.
