Your wedding day is almost here, and nothing could make it more special than having the people who matter most to you around to share in the festivities. As the Groom, you will be swamped in helping your sweetheart with last minute wedding details and heavy lifting–but the chaos could seem even more daunting without the helping hands of your best buds.
Here are some fun gift ideas that will show your groomsmen how much you value their role in your wedding:
Cheers- Why not toast in the big day by presenting your groomsmen with personalized flasks and an assortment of spirits.
Out On the Town- Treat your groomsmen to a fun experience, packed with moments that are sure to make lasting memories. Here are some ideas for painting the town:
o attend a sporting event
o go to the movies
o find a billiards club
o spend the day on the green–golfing
o go fishing
Traditional- Perhaps you would like to express your gratitude in a more traditional manner; if so, here are some ideas for classic groomsmen gifts:
o cufflinks
o a pocket knife
o cigars
Personal- Saying thank you on a personal level can be deeply meaningful, and nothing expresses this kind of gratitude, quite like remembering what people enjoy. If you have the time and resources, try assembling a few things that will really mean something special to your groomsmen on a personal note. Here are some ideas to get you started:
o For the Musician- a set of concert tickets, a new CD, or an I-tunes gift-card
o For the Athlete- tickets to a sporting event, a new work out DVD, or a personalized water bottle
o For the Traveler- a magazine subscription to Travel + Leisure, National Geographic, or Budget Travel
o For the Coffee Drinker- a Starbucks gift-card, a new mug, a new type of coffee to try
o For the Movie Buff- tickets to the movie theater, a new DVD, a book on classic films of our time
Choosing the right gift that you feel truly honors the men you are proud to call your groomsmen is no easy task, but it is not impossible. Try making a list and getting creative; in no time at all, you will have an ideal gift that expresses your gratitude to those important men.
