Best
Man & Groomsmen
Wedding Gift Ideas
For
some reason, it is traditional to buy gifts for the best
man and groomsmen. This is a kind of thank
you. You are showing your appreciation to your wedding party
for showing up and being dressed appropriately at the wedding.
Not to mention any rehearsal dinners, fittings, and throwing
the bachelor party. It is a token that is personalized with
engraving for most men, or something just really awesome and
noteworthy. You always want to make sure that when picking
something out, that it is useful and something that your men
will enjoy. What you buy will depend on your budget and also
if each gift is personalized or you are going with a one style
fits all kind of theme.
If you are on a budget, have many groomsmen, or prefer a one
type of gift for all, here are some great choices to choose
from. Remember to pick out quality items that look nice and
are well made. Your best man’s gift should be of a different
style than the groomsmen’s gift, preferably of higher quality
as well.
- Beer
steins are great gifts and even if the man you are buying
for doesn’t have a bar, he will enjoy it. Many local pubs
will let you bring in your own mug and have mug clubs.
To personalize
the gift, make sure your men’s names are engraved on the
mugs. For the best man, get him a different stein with
his name on
it.
- Regular
coffee mugs are also a great idea and if they have a metal
plate in the center, can also be engraved for personalization.
All the mugs should be alike except for the best man’s. So
make sure that wherever you got them, they have at least two
different styles.
- Pilsners look great and are very easy to personalize. They
can be etched right at the place of purchase in most cases.
Make sure that there is a variety of styles to chose from so
you can pick your two favorites.
- Shot glasses are classic and even if one has no bar, it really
doesn’t matter. They are an easy item to find and have personalized.
Some will be all glass and need etching and the others will
have a metal plate in the center. Most places have a huge selection
so finding two great styles will be relatively easy.
- Flasks
are among the most popular idea and the easiest to find.
They are really neat to receive as a present because
most people do not have one. They can be engraved and there
are usually plenty of styles, colors, and sizes to choose from.
- Cuff
links are another popular gift. It doesn’t matter if they
are gold or silver and they can also be engraved. Most
groomsmen will be asked wear them at the wedding, so go with
the metal that you most like.
- Money
clips and key rings are an inexpensive and practical as well.
The can be engraved or if you choose a leather key
ring, monogrammed. Many couples go with this theme and just
get a slightly different one for the best man.
- Pocket
watches are another practical and stylish gift. They are
nice to look at and carry around. Engraving can be done
on the front, back and/or inside the cover to make really special.
Again, make sure there is more than one style in the same metal
to be able to upgrade the best man’s.
If you have a little more money to spend, or have a smaller
wedding party then you might want to go with some more personal
and individual type gifts. These are still in the groomsmen
tradition of items to buy. You can get each person something
that reflects his own personality and likes.
- Personalized
sports locker room photos are great ideas. They can autographed
and can be from what type of sport your man
likes best, NHL, NFL, NBA, PGA or MLB teams are available
at reasonable costs and can be personalized.
- Personalized
Tavern/Pub signs are great gifts for the lucky guy who gets
one. Make sure that it is something he will like
and can use.
- Personalized
golf gifts are great like tees, balls, and driver covers
or caps. These can names monogrammed into them for individuality.
- Six
piece crystal martini set is always nice for that man who
has a bar or is starting one. The set holder can be engraved
as well. In fact any type of bar accessories will be a wonderful
idea as well as a bottle of fine liquor to go with it.
