Groomsmen Gifts: Traditional and Inspirational

Traditionally, on the eve of his wedding day, the groom presents each of his groomsmen and ushers with a personal gift. Though perhaps just a token, this gift represents appreciation, not just for helping out with wedding duties, but for being a lifelong friend.

Although there are certainly many projects that require attention while planning a wedding, picking out groomsmen gifts should be one area to devote individual, personal attention to. In choosing a gift, the groom should take into account the recipient's unique personality, and reflect on about memories and fun times throughout their relationship. In a way, the grooms gift should symbolize that the friendship will continue to grow.

Perhaps there were many fun-filled nights of poker, beer and stogies? If this was the case, perhaps consider personalizing the following items with a reference to an inside joke, or even a simple, yet elegant monogram:

Shuffle up and deal! Raise the ante with this stylish gaming set, housed in a sturdy 15.5" x 2.75" x 8" aluminum carrying case. With 300 chips constructed of top-quality 11.5 gram composite clay and professional-grade playing cards, your personal casino takes Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Low and Seven Card Stud to a whole new level.

16 oz. Mug with Pewter Emblem

Give a keepsake mug to honor your best buddies - choose from medallions that are plain, or say "Best Man", "Groom," "Groomsman" or "Usher", and personalized with a name. Each glass mug with pewter medallion holds 16 fluid ounces.

Or perhaps there are fond memories of rugged camping or hiking trips? Personalizing a harmonica, swiss army knife or flask may be a great way to recall such trips:

Play the blues or even a little rock-n-roll on this genuine Hohner, personalized harmonica. Everyone will love the opportunity to make their own kind of music on this standard 10-hole (diatonic) harmonica, fashioned from high-polished stainless steel.

Then again, maybe there was a bit of friendly competition on the golf course. Carry that theme through on the groomsmen gifts with a personalized golf towel or golf balls:

Finally, maybe it's the case where the gift needs to be more formal. In that case, perhaps consider something practical, yet elegant. Engraved cufflinks or a pocketwatch would serve this purpose well:
