Your special day, your wedding day, is almost here. Your tuxedo is reserved, the flowers have been selected and you have tasted the dinner menu and decided on the perfect courses. The cake is a fait accompli. And of course the save the date cards and invitations have all been sent. What are you missing? Finding the perfect gift for your groomsmen, but that does not have to be a challenge. No matter what your budget there are unique affordable gifts.

There has nearly always been some sort of a wedding party, or group of attendees, both male and female for the bride and groom. One explanation for the origin of the wedding party is that the groom needed friends to help him capture his bride and the bride needed her attendants to help her get ready for all the marriage rituals.

Another explanation is that the wedding party evolved from an attempt to keep evil spirits away from the bride and groom by surrounding them with other people close to their age. The spirits would get confused on who was actually the bridal couple and leave. Or maybe just decide to join in the festivities instead.

Today the wedding party, best man, maid of honor, groomsmen, and bridesmaids are the close friends and sometimes relatives of the bride and groom. Groomsmen are responsible for getting the groom to the church, providing moral support and escorting guests to their proper seats at the ceremony. So what do you get as a thank you and commemorative groomsmen gift?

Sports

Every guy likes sports, watching, talking or playing sports seems to be past time of choice. What could be better than a 16 ounce personalized mug for their favorite beverage, especially if it’s personalized with a pewter emblem engraved with their name and best man, usher, or groomsmen?

Going to the game any guy would appreciate a combo of chair and cooler and that’s exactly what the Personalized Sit ‘N Sip Cooler is: A collapsible stool with an insulated space for drinks.

For those who consider camping a sport there is the Personalized Rubber Grip 13-Function Army Knife. And yes it does have 13 different parts including: file, knife, scissors, corkscrew, and bottle opener. There’s space on the handle for up to two lines of 12 characters each for personalization.

Golf is a favorite sport and there are lots of ideas for gifts. One of the best is to take your groomsmen on a thank you golfing outing, all expenses paid. And what could be better than outfitting the party with personalized golf towels, golf shoe bag, putter set, and ball marker?

Professional

Back to business is where your groomsmen will be going after the wedding is over. Each time he hands out a business card he’ll thank you for the Personalized Silver Plated Business Card Case that makes a great first impression as well. Add a personalized woven silver pen to complete the set.

If the guys in your group travel a lot or if you plan a destination wedding a personalized Saxton Passport Holder fits the bill. Actually it’s the other way around the bills, as in tens and twenties fit in the passport holder.

Desk accessories include personalized note pads, acrylic caddy to hold the note pads and leather personalized desk caddy.

Jewelry

Cufflinks are classic groomsmen gift and for good reason. Many tuxedos and men’s formal wear require cufflinks. Personalized Addison High Polish Brass Cufflinks add a touch of elegance; the 5/8 inch square cufflinks can be personalized with one initial. The cufflinks come in brushed silver as well. Black onyx is a favorite of many men because of its cool understatement combined with stainless steel and any shirt requiring cufflinks is notched up a level or two with these links.

Bracelets aren’t for every guy but if it sounds like something your groomsmen would go for, bracelets in chunky stainless steel come in two sizes, single links and double links.

Money clips are another possibility especially if personalized. There are a number of styles and finishes including stainless steel. The clip can be finished with a watch on the top to keep track of time and money or maybe as a reminder that time is money.

Barware

Lots of choices from beer mugs ranging in size from 13 ounces to 25 ounces, personalized by etching or by emblem. There are National Football League and Major League Baseball logoed mugs and even a personalize koozie in black leather.

Or get the personalized bar tender’s kit everything the savvy bar tender needs all packaged in a spiffy wooden case including stainless corkscrew/bottle opener, thermometer, pour spout and bottle stopper. Also included is a metal Bar Compass with cocktail recipes for many mixed drinks.

Great Gifts

Finding a great gift for your groomsmen won’t be the problem. It’s narrowing down all the choices to make the final decision.
