Help me choose groomsmen gifts

I got mine flasks. I only had 3 groomsmen though.

If I could do it all over again my wife and I would have just eloped ad saved a shit ton of money!
Weddings are not for the people getting married, they are for the family and guests...haha

But either way, congrats on getting married and the best of luck to you

 

Pay for their tux rentals.

My buddy took all of us to Bass Pro Shops the morning of the wedding and gave us each a $25 giftcard to buy whatever we wanted.

 

Rather than renting tuxedos, you can buy suits for a little more and that can be there wedding gift. Have them pay for the shirt and tie. This is all assuming that you are paying for the rental tuxedos.

 

When I get married there will be no tux.

Polo shirts, shorts, on the beach.

 

I was in a wedding, groomsman, myself and the best man got nice leatherman tools with our name and date engraved on it, but I really didn't expect anything it wasn't about me on that day. Why so many gromsmen? Hell weddings are over rated and overly expensive....keep in mind all comming from a single 36 year old male. I am lucky, my girl doesnt want a wedding or married for that matter, and she thinks flowers are a waste of money and she likes beer....man I love her.

 

that's how my second wedding was.

 

i'm surprised no one has asked you if your girl has a sister...

 

No sisters, took me a LONG time to find her. She is one of a kind for sure.

 

Lap dances

 

Got cuff links and a watch in two occasions. Got a ps3 when I was the best man.

 

i spent a little more but i got my best man a watch, he was my brother so i spent a few hundred on a citizen eco drive titanium. the rest got things they like, sunglasses, engraved stuff like money clips, flasks, mugs, tumblers, zippo's, cigar kits... prob spent 50-80 on each guy

my buddy took his groomsman and me to a Red Sox game, another one took us to a Yankees game, another one chartered a boat for some offshore fishing and threw a keg on board

 

We got ours an engraved flask with a bottle of their favorite. Mine had Iced tea in it. Best man we added a nice watch to go with the flask.

 

get em some penis hats, and vibrators.

 

ive been in one wedding, and got nothing but a pair of socks that came with the tux I had to rent..It was one of the best times ive ever had tho, but it did cost me almost $400 to go to that wedding.

 

Thanks for the input. I'm thinking about some smith Wesson knives that I personally like that I could engrave for gifts. They seem to have good quality, good reviews and are a little cheaper than leatherman knives.

For what it's worth, all groomsmen, except the one in highschool are college students. The two groomsmen that are coming to the wedding from out of town don't have to pay for their tux rental. I've been living on 300 bucks or less a month since janurary (wedding date set in December) where the majority of my income goes to saving for the wedding. The bride pays for the wedding, where I'll taking care of move in deposit, move out deposit, furniture, other home stuff, honeymoon and all other non wedding expenses.

 

I'll up the budget for the gifts. I've heard a lot of good suggestions On this thread.

 

We got married in outside down in Florida, so the wife gave me an idea for Oakleys for the guys and myself...
It was excellet


note: found them for around $60

 

i got all my groomsmen northern tool gift cards.

My buddy got us these when he got married. He had them engraved. More than you were looking to spend, but not super expensive and I thought it was pretty cool. Still have both items and use them occasionally, been ten years.

 

I agree.
