Your groomsmen have been with you every step of the way – through good times and bad. And now they’re ready to stand beside you on the day you say “I do.” As your groomsmen, they’ll be renting tuxes, planning your bachelor party, making toasts and helping out on the big day. How to repay them? Here are a few ways to say “thanks.”

Engraving a practical gift gift with the groomsmen’s initials is a nice way to personalize your groomsmen gift. Try engraving or monogramming one of these gift options:

• Pocket knife or pocket multi-tool
  

  Personalized Watch Money Clip

• Corkscrews/bottle openers
• Wristwatches
• Cufflinks
• Money clip
• Lighters
• Pens
• Business card holders
• Wallets

A gift for the home bar:

• Personalized beer mug or personalized flask
• Personalized Pub Signs
• Shot glass set
• Corkscrews/bottle opener
• Give each groomsmen/usher a bottle of their favorite liquor

Avid sports fans will appreciate a gift that relates to their love of the game or the great outdoors, such as:

• Fishing gear
• Camping equipment
• Golf equipment
• Game tickets
• Gifts featuring logos of their favorite sports team. Browse our MLB groomsman gifts, NFL groomsman gifts, NHL groomsman gifts, and NCAA groomsman gifts
• Personalized Baseball Bat

Another option is to organize a group outing for you and the boys (on you of course). Popular ideas are:

• Casino night (or a Vegas trip if it’s in the budget)
• Camping or fishing excursion
• Sporting event
• Concert
• Golfing

Finally, if your groomsmen support any major causes – a donation in their name is a very unique and meaningful gift.

GroomsAdvice Recommendation: No matter what type of groomsman gifts you choose, the name of the game is to find a gift that will make your groomsmen feel appreciated (and help ease the pain of a pricey tux rental). Think of your gift as a memento of your wedding that your groomsmen will remember for years to come.
