paid for their Tuxes rentals and got them a nice tie. Got engraved cufflinks also since I found them cheap, but the quality was real shitty. So ended up returning them

Buck Knives with their names engraved on the blade. When I got them I was bummed I didn't grab one for myself since they looked great

I got a pair of shoes (Adidas) that we got to wear with our tuxs. boatload more comfortable than the plastic shoes you have to rent

last wedding I was in was cufflinks.

I threw them in the back of my car after leaving and I think they're still there (said wedding was a year and a half ago)

this and a helluva hangover for the reception. we showed to the wedding still drunk and staggering. drinking for 12 hours probably wasnt the best idea for the night before the wedding.

edit:

paid for the tuxes as well.

I read your post and then misread your name as hangoverphist.

I had the photographer take a group photo of me, the groomsmen and the ushers. I then took a photo with each individual person. I had custom frames made that fit the group photo, plus the photo of me and the individual person, and that was my gift. I thought it was a great, personal and thoughtful gift.

Whatever you do, don't give out some generic crap that no one uses. I hate to sound ungrateful, but the last wedding I was in, I was given a money clip. I've never once in my life carried a money clip, and my friend knew this. It makes me crazy when no thought is put into the groomsmen gift.

Of course not! I only cut off most of their faces so you could still kind of see who I was in the picture with.

seriously, not many men use/need stupid cuff links..... or giant beer mugs and i dont think men really give a shit if their name is engraved in it.... you morons should have gotten/given tickets to a sports event/concert or something... and then you could all get drunk together again

Mugs and cuff links are the worst gifts evar!
Those shitty wedding supply stores need to stop propagating these horrible gifts.
