FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What Should I Get My Groomsmen (A Gift)?
If you are going to buy your best man and groomsmen something, it should be a practical gift. They will appreciate something that they can actually use. That’s why we love the idea of engraving items like toiletry bags, shot glasses, money clips, knives, beer mugs, and other cool items.
Try to think of something that would be a great addition to their man cave, house, or garage.
The best groomsmen gifts are the ones that you put some thought into.
We recommend going for something high-quality (this does not have to be expensive). The handmade items that we listed above are all high quality and some of those prices are only $10-$20.
Who Else Does The Groom Buy A Gift For?
It all depends if you are the gift-giving type of person. If you are, you could get something for the ring bearer, junior groomsmen, fathers, grandfathers, brothers, and of course your wife-to-be (or husband-to-be).
How much should you spend on your groomsmen gifts?
You should only spend what you can afford. This amount of going to be different for everyone.
As you can see from the list above, there are great gift ideas no matter what amount of money you want to spend.
Your best man and groomsmen are not expecting expensive gifts from you. They are simply going to be happy spending the day hanging out with you and the rest of the guys.
Are you supposed to give groomsmen gifts?
This is your wedding day and you make the rules. If you want to know what’s normal, about 75% of the weddings we are involved with include gifts for the wedding party. These do not have to be fancy or cost you a lot of money. Just a simple “thank you for being here on my wedding day” gift will do.
The old saying “It’s the thought that counts” really fits well here.
What gift do you give your best man (Should it be different than the other groomsmen gifts)?
Out of all the weddings that we have been involved with (over 450), the best man typically gets the same gift as the rest of the groomsmen. On a few different occasions, we have seen the groom get the best man a little something extra (this is usually if the best man is also the groom’s brother). It’s totally up to you but normal practice is getting everyone the same gift.
Should We Engrave The Gifts?
This will be different for everybody. There are no rules.
We personally think engraved practical gifts are awesome since they add a personal touch. It is something that each person can use, but it also has a personal note/message on the gift that reminds them of you, your wedding, and your friendship. It’s the perfect way to say thank you to the important men in your life.
When engraving your gift you can do it in a few different ways. Here are a couple of common ideas to get you started:
- The groomsman’s name
- His initials
- The couple’s name
- The wedding date (we don’t love putting the wedding date on gifts, but some other people love it).
- A nickname
- A funny or sentimental saying or quote that means something between the two of you.
When should you give the best man and groomsmen their gifts?
The best time to give the best man and groomsmen their gift is either at the bachelor party, rehearsal dinner, or when you first meet up to get ready on the day of the wedding. We personally recommend doing it at the rehearsal dinner. This way they do not have to find a place to store it at the hotel or wedding venue.
