Unique Groomsmen
Gift Ideas
Weddings are steeped in tradition, and one of the more
enjoyable ones is the custom of gifting members of the brid-
al party. With regard to picking out tuxedos and planning
the wedding, grooms may not spend as much time with
their groomsmen as brides do with their bridesmaids. But
that does not mean grooms don’t want to go above and
beyond when gifting their groomsmen. The following are a
handful of unique groomsmen gift ideas.
· Guys’ day out: While it’s customary to gift groomsmen
with mementos of the wedding that they can keep for years
to come, there’s no law forbidding grooms from gifting an
experience. Grooms can book a guys’ day or night out for
after the wedding, buying each groomsmen a ticket to a ball-
game and paying for dinner for the whole crew. Or consider
a more adventurous outing, such as a group bungee jump
or whitewater rafting trip. Provide a memento by ordering a
handful of specially designed commemorative T-shirts.
· Commemorative photo: Many grooms ask relatives
and friends they have known for much of their lives to be
their groomsmen. So it’s not uncommon for groomsmen to
know each other very well. If each member of the party has
