Re: "something for the groom" wishing well

  • a wishing well? what's that?
  • Your wedding gift is for both the bride and groom.
  • A wishing well is something that is at the shower (can be shaped like a well or an umbrella for goodies to be dropped into) that guests can bring little gifts to put into. For example, a roll of aluminum foil, little measuring cups, dishtowels, ziplock bags, etc. It should be random and inexpensive things that the Bride/Groom would use around there house that would not be put onto their actual registry.

    I have never heard of a specific Groom wishing well, it is more for the Bride and Groom for them both to use.

    It is a fun thing where people dont have to spend a lot of money, but will be useful to the Bride and Groom.

    HTH!!

  • Wrench, tape measurer, duct tape, ear plugs (to be funny!)... those are "groom" type things that can be useful to both B & G

  • oh what a cute idea! what about a funny guy apron 
  • I actually went to a shower where we had to bring a gift from the groom's wishing well. Honestly, I didnt like it because it wasnt like the bride was getting clothes, makeup, purses... etc

    I got him a hat from his favorite sports team.

  • I've only ever heard if WWs at showers-never at a wedding.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
  • I'd never heard of a wishing well at all! (other than the ones we throw pennies into..)Cool
