What to get for the Groomsmen??

cromulentia · February 2012

I've found some lovely little gifts for my bridesmaids, but my fiance is stuck on what to get for the men. I made some suggestions, but he really wants to stay away from the typical flask/stein/cigar types of gifts.

So, what have some of you all given to the men in the wedding party? ANY suggestions or ideas would be more than wonderful!

My H gave his GM their favorite bottle of booze. Other ideas:
-gift card to their favorite restaurant
-ties
-cufflinks
-what are their favorite hobbies (golf--could buy golf balls/tees, etc.)?

They don't have to be the same gift and I would suggest something that you would get them for their birthday.

We got our 2 GM a BBQ set that was here on TK.

FI got a knife when he was a GM for his brother last summer. While I'm not a fan of everyone getting the same thing, it fit for his guys and I think I'm safe to assume all of them use their knives.

Just remember it's a gift for them, not a gift for your wedding. Make it something they will genuinely use again, and not just on YOUR wedding day. So nothing engraved, nothing with your names/date.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll pass them along to him to think about.

Athletic jerseys are good for some guys...we are getting our GMs each a jersey for their favorites team/player/etc. While they are all getting the "same" gift, the gift is personalized in the sense that it is their school/hometown/favorite player/whatever. It's actually been a lot of fun figuring out what to get for each of them.
