DBAHO Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Going back down under for a Wedding in October as a Groomsmen. Hoping for something good (cue the boomerang and digeri-doo jokes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 BTW I totally forgot to mention that I purchased an extra gift for my best man for throwing a kick ass bachelor party. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VEBIVK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Tell me what you guys think. I was thinking for the groomsmen(5 of them) I would get them a replica T-shirt jersey of their favorite players. The 2 best men, I would get them jerseys of their favorite teams.

Seems kind of weird... kind of, well, neither is the best man then. Anyhoo, I like the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love that as a gift so I imagine a dude would also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Monogramed silk boxers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 A nice pen might also be a good gift. You aren't going to get a Mont Blanc for $50 but I'm there would be something nice in that range? BTW, is the old Cross pen set still around or is that totally outdated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've been a groomsman seven times, and only received a few gifts that I have used in any way. I have a money clip, a flask, a couple of monogrammed steins, and a few other things I don't recall. When my brother got married he gave us all a pair of Chuck Taylors that we all wore to the reception. The groomsmen wore black - groom wore green. The rest of the stuff sits in drawers or holds pens. One of the steins is actually quite nice, though it's never used. The groom got each of us a stein with our nationality on it. Mine has a shamrock and says Ireland (for example). I had another guy give me Blu Blockers as a gag - in addition to a monogrammed gym bag. I also received a mini-Bears helmet one time (there was another small gift as well). On second thought, I've received some pretty good stuff. I like the idea of going to a Sox game with the groomsmen, but it's only good if everyone can make it. However, you have to do it big. See if you can get a suite. Regular seats won't do. It has to be special or it's just another game. Whatever you do, don't be cheap. If you can't afford to do it up big, don't do the game. I know the wedding is a big expense, but you'll remember that game forever. And think of how much your wife to be is wasting on flowers and center pieces and get a little selfish. If you're going to go with one of the less expensive options - I like the Jersey option. I don't think I would differentiate between the groomsmen and best men, though.
