Few things can capture a man’s attention the way their favorite sporting events can. During the wedding planning process it is no secret that the bride and her bridesmaids will be fretting over wedding favors, headpieces, dresses, make-up, and floral arrangements, while most of the men of the wedding party may only be concerned with the score of the big game. Take a break from the stress and review the groomsmen gifts for sports fanatics discussed below, that allow you to hit a home run with the men of your bridal party.
Traditional Sports Gift
Sometimes, the best gifts are those that are tried and true, such as tickets to that must attend a sporting event. Depending on the season that your wedding is held in, you can buy two tickets to a football, hockey, baseball, basketball, or soccer game and send the groom and the best man out for some testosterone-fueled male bonding time to shake away any pre-wedding jitters. If this option is a little out of your price range, you can consider one of the local, semi-professional, or junior sporting leagues instead. Since many of the lower level sporting events will sell you a season ticket for the price of a pair of tickets for the professionals, this is an economical way to send a few, or even all, of the groomsmen out for a day of fun without breaking the bank.
All Star Gifts
Another great option is to turn your groomsmen into living legends. If your groomsmen are big baseball fans, they will love receiving their very own baseball mounted to a tasteful, walnut stand. This special gift even includes a personalized message with their name and date of your wedding on it.
If a poker is your groomsmen’s game of choice gets them a personalized poker set. All of the pieces from the chips to the cards are kept neatly in a personalized and colorful box. All of your groomsmen can play a round of poker together with the three hundred chip set and professional-grade playing cards.
Framed Sports Gifts
