Looking for suggestions on something kewl for our groomsmen in our wedding? Has anyone ever received something that was petty sweet for standing up in someones wedding? Open to suggestions... we have a few ideas, but thought the cleverness of this board would broden our ideas...thanks.

We gave money clips engraved with their initials.

 

[damn yankee]

I've gotten gift certificates, a weekend for 2 get away at a nice B&B, even got my boat tank filled w/gas! Depends on what you wanna spend. It's all good, the peeps that are in the wedding are there for you, not a gift.

i've stood in two, and my favorite gift was a really nice flask. the best part about them was that my friend got them engraved, but not with our initials, but with our nicknames. i thought that was the coolest.

the other gift i got was a business card holder with my name engraved on it. it was nice as well, but guys always like flasks

 

[surfergirlck]

my brother's fav was a flask engraved with their nicknames, too! wow!

a friend of mine, as a gift, gave 2 tickets to a tiger's game to each of his guys.

another gave a 5x7 frame with a pic of the groom w/ groomsman from a previous outing (bar night, camp trip, ball game)in it engraved with 'thanks, man'

WOW YOU GUYS.. THANKS FOR THE IDEAS!!

I've got that one. It leaks. <_<

 

[super7]

I've received engraved pen/pencil, stien (mit der flipper topper),travel clock, letter opener. The easy way is to get everyone the same gift..but, you could give everyone the same small gift but also one that is more personal between you and each individual. Engraved travel clock we all recieved, the pen set still use kept in my check book so far lasted 12 years (Waterman). It is nice to get a gift that matches the person/friendship that you have. .02

cheers

Lap dance or two never hurt either
