How can you select the best groomsmen gifts

How do you decide what to pick for the best groomsmen gifts?

Your wedding date is just around the corner, but now it's down to the wire to decide what to get for the guys who are willing to support you and stand with you on your special day.

Probably the easiest way to decide is to think - what do you guys do together?

Are these your frat brothers that enjoy a cold one? Maybe the Engraved Beer Mugs would be a great gift or how about a personalized bottle opener. And if they prefer a nip a personalized flask with their name or initial would be pretty cool.

Do you want a specific gift that is special that you know they'll really appreciate for years to come? Consider a Money clip or wallet. Men hang on to their billfolds and wallets for many, many years and an gift that is personalized makes it even better.

Of course, if your groomsmen are all golfers, then there are a variety of golf gifts that could really make their day. Whether its a golf money clip, a golf flask that hold tees and divot tool and ball marker. You may also consider a Golf business card holder, too, for the business men in your group.

Perhaps your groomsmen are a little more sophisticated, wouldn't they love to have an engraved pocket watch or personalized cuff links? Those are keepsakes treasured forever.

Maybe the guys are outdoorsy or rough and rugged, an engraved lock back knife or a gerber style multi tool will help them remember your special day, every day.

Do they all have something in common with one another, or with just you? Many grooms choose to buy all the gifts that are just alike, but there is no hard and fast rule that says the gifts have to match. You can always consider matching the gift with the individual.

Often times though when you are selecting a personalized gift, it is hard to decide what to have engraved. Well that is completely up to you, and the gift you pick to give. Smaller gifts like cufflinks have initials or a monogram. Larger items can have the first name of the person engraved. Other items can support the name and even your wedding date.

Deciding on how much to spend is also a consideration, and that boils down to your budget and how many groomsmen you have. Most grooms spend less than $50 per gift on their groomsmen gifts. The average is probably $25-$30 per guy, plus shipping charges if you decide to order online.

If you have 10 Groomsmen and your budget is $300 then you need to look at gifts in the $25-$27 range, and if you’re ordering online, be sure to think about shipping. Not all web vendors charge the same shipping rates, so you do want to pay attention, and keep in mind that things like beer mugs are much heavier than money clips, so you can expect to pay $1.50 per mug or $15 for shipping on 10 mugs via a UPS Ground service.

Perhaps you have a smaller budget, but a large party. There are gifts under $20 that are great. For instance a Silver Plated Engraved Bottle opener that can be selected for less than $20. Want more under $20? Try beer mugs, knifes, multitools, key chains and shot glasses.

No matter what you pick as the gift you want for your groomsmen party, be glad that these guys are here to stick with you through thick and thin, and are willing to stand up with on your wedding day.
