Wedding Party Gift Guide, Part 2

In this wedding party gift guide, we offer tips and suggestions for groomsmen gifts. It is customary for the bride and groom to give a gift to each member of the wedding party. A token of thanks for their friendship and all the time, energy and support they've given you during the wedding and wedding planning process. The wedding party gifts are typically given sometime before the wedding. This can be during the bachelor party, the morning of the wedding, or during the wedding reception dinner. Below we offer some fun gift ideas for the groomsmen.

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #1 - Cuff Links
I love, love, love cuff links! They come in just about any shape and size you could imaging: skull and cross bones, sports teams, star wars figures, cars, the Simpsons, handcuffs, fishing, ball and chain, golf, you name it! What I love about this gift is you can give a different set of links to each groomsmen, depending on what their favorite thing is. There are links for the White Socks fan, the lawyer (scales of justice), the ski buff, the Budweiser fan, or cuff links that say "best man"!

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #2 - Flask
Flasks are one of the more traditional groomsmen gifts. However, they are similar to cuff links in that they come in a variety of shapes and designs. Engravable, leather, camouflage, stainless steel and wallet shaped. One of my favorite designs is the cell phone flask - small enough to fit in your pocket and can easily be mistaken for the real thing - at least until you put it to your mouth instead of your ear!

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #3 - Cigar Humidor
Cigars are a classic gift but take it one step further and choose a humidor to go with. Again, so many great style options here that you can customize to each gentleman!

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #4 - Professional Poker Set
Do you have a group poker aficionados? If so, a professional poker set may be the perfect gift. These come with everything you need - composite clay chips, professional grade playing cards, and dice all in a stylish case. Everything except the pretzels and beer. And speaking of beer...

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #5 - The Pub Set
If your group is known for enjoying a few brews, perhaps a pub or pilsner set would be appropriate. These often come with an option to personalize. Have each set engraved with the groomsman's name and date his 'pub' was 'established'. Some even come complete with serving tray and coasters.

Wedding Party Gift Guide Idea #6 - 18 Holes
For the golfing group, consider a gift certificate to their favorite course. After the dust of the wedding has settled, you can all get together for another game of golf.

When considering gifts for your groomsmen, think of items, such as the ones listed in this wedding party gift guide, that you know your guys will love AND use. You don't have to give the same gift to each groomsmen but make sure they are relatively equal in value. Taking the time to personalize each gift will show that you put thought and care into their gift selection.
