I’ve got an answer! Well, I have a potential answer.
No, it’s not a pink pasmina! I’m sure that would go over real well.
Let’s face it, women really struggle shopping for men. The typical groomsmen does not wear a lot of jewelry; they don’t usually like fancy beauty products; and they don’t tend to appreciate the luxury of a cashmere pashmina.
So what to do? Well you could try putting your fiance in charge, but do you really want to risk wrapping thank you gifts the night before your rehearsal dinner?
Better Together Events to the rescue! To help in your wedding planning needs, I will periodically offer a diverse range of groomsmen gift ideas because, of course, no two wedding parties are the same.
Idea #1: IPOD shuffle (under $50)
- Con: a lot of people own an IPOD; Pro: but shuffles are perfect for working out and for doing stuff around the house, so it’s not a bad idea to have a shuffle in addition to a regular one.
- Con: Can be perceived as generic, especially when each member of the wedding party gets the same thing. Pro: You can make it personal by creating an individualized CD for each person to bestow along with each shuffle. Choose songs that speak to that unique relationship or that encourage reminiscing moments of that time in high school that you belly laughed until 2 am together. (Hmmm… do guys belly laugh? You see my problem – I’m sort of a girl’s girl, but trust me on this IPOD idea!). Anyway, Will Smith’s “Gettin‘ Jiggy With It” always takes me back to my high school days. Did I just date myself? Probably. Moving on, if you are ok with spending a little more, you can make a whole package out of this by placing the shuffle in a personalized beer mug and attaching the CD in a decorative way.
If my inner monologue is not evidence enough, it’s time for me to hit the hay! If you can’t wait for more groomsmen gift ideas, call Better Together Events today for your free initial consultation!
