How to Find Groomsmen Gifts
- 1). Set your budget. Deciding on your budget before you begin shopping will help you narrow your search and avoid overspending. There are no hard-and-fast rules about how much you should spend on groomsmen gifts; take into account the cost of your wedding and what you can afford to spend.
- 2). Understand your groomsmen. Although buying the same gift for all of them may appear easier, do not dismiss buying them an individual gift that represents each man's personality. Often, generic gifts such as matching cufflinks can go unused. If you do buy individual gifts, stick to the same budget for all to make it fair.
- 3). Incorporate an activity that the groomsmen have in common if you would prefer to purchase the same item for all. A personalized baseball bat or matching hooded tops can be used for when the groomsmen next play sports together.
- 4). Purchase a gift that reflects an aspect of each groomsman's hobby. Purchase a beer glass for the guy who enjoys drinking with his friends or a pocket knife for the keen fisher. Have the gifts engraved with the groomsmen's names to personalize them and serve as a reminder of the occasion. Engraving individual gifts with the same message will give the gifts a common theme but also reflect the groomsmen individually.
- 5). Organize tickets for a sporting event or a favorite band that the groomsmen and groom can attend together. Although the groom has now married it does not mean he can no longer enjoy quality time with his friends. Tickets for a future event will give the groom and groomsmen an opportunity to get together and have a fun night out in the near future.
- 6). Purchase tickets for a local attraction if the groomsmen have flown from out of town to attend the wedding. The groomsmen can enjoy a local amusement park or other attraction together while they are in the neighborhood and the groom is on his honeymoon.
