Traditionally, the couple provides the members of their wedding party with a gift or two. A couple little things or one larger gift can communicate your appreciation for their support on your wedding day. Keep in mind how you want to remember your wedding day when selecting gifts.
Collective Gifts
Getting all of your groomsmen the same gift can unite the group. However, make sure that your choice works for each person receiving the gift (e.g. that no one is allergic to their gift, that it is their size, etc.). A couple ideas…
- Crazy dress socks
- Matching cufflinks
- Cologne
Individualized Gifts
Choosing gifts that are special to each groomsman gives you the opportunity to communicate how special their friendship and support is to you. When selecting a gift, think about what their friendship/support means to you, reflect on your memories together, and think about their interests. A few thoughtful gift ideas…
- Custom engraved watch
- Something nerdy
- Lego figures
- Lightsaber/sword
- Something symbolic to the journey they’re on
- Custom embroidered tie
- Something used in their future profession (stethoscope, power tool, notebook, etc.)
Compensation
If you’re feeling too busy trying to manage your life and a wedding, spending time on gifts may be too much to handle. A good option when you have the budget and would like to do something for your bridesmaids but don’t have the time or energy is to provide financial compensation for wedding-related expenses. The bachelor party, travel, dress clothes, etc. can be difficult for some of your groomsmen. Keep their financial situations in mind when wedding planning and, if you have the budget to contribute to their expenses, help support them so they can support you on your big day!
