What to get my wedding party?

[morkus64]

So, need gifts for the men in my wedding party - my best man, my bride's brother, and my bride's dad. Was thinking about cufflinks, but not sure. None of them actually own cufflinks, (well, her dad might) but then how often do you really wear them?

All three are artists but, as an artist myself, I think that art supplies are a think you want to pick out for yourself. And gift sets tend to be crap anyway.

Looking to spend ~$30 per person.

Ideas?


TIA!

We mixed it up depending on the person. One guy liked cigars so that's what he got.

Get them all a stopwatch, you never know when you'll need a good stopwatch.

Oh, it has to have the rope so it hangs around your neck, that way you look like a coach too.

fucking word.

Bottle of Jack Daniels with a bow wrapped around the neck of the bottle.

That is what my brother gave all of his best men, I put my bottle in a display case.

Pocket knives.
That went over well in the last thread.

I recommend Spyderco's with H1 steel.

I got my guys steins with their family crest on it.

Went to a wedding this weekend, and the Groomsmen each got a flask with their initials engraved in it as well as a bottle of decent whiskey. I thought it wasn't a bad idea!

knife or booze+flask is a much better idea than cufflinks

i got my groomsmen engraved cufflinks and iirc engraved belt buckles too. the best man got an additional engraved flask.

while we were waiting in the parking lot before the wedding the best man broke out the flask which he had filled with tequila and we imbibed.

Get the best man a 4 pack of pudding, you and the groomsmen can then share a pair of tubesocks (4 socks for you non countin folk). Much fun will then be had, much fun.

But don't have too much fun, the cops will get called and you'll have to explain why one groomsmen has two sponges taped to his nipples and there is a duck billed platypus walking funny.

How many best men did he have?

Usually it's just 1....

He probably grew up playing sports that didn't keep score too. "Everyones a winner, Everyones the best"

The last wedding I went to we all got a Rolex each.

I gave all my best men + ushers (family) engraved pocketwatches. Those are classy.

Yeah, I got all my guys engraved pocket knives. They loved em!

flasks if they're drunks, knives if they're violent drunks.

edit: i posted about buying this knife a bit ago-
http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/s...olor=Black+%26+Silver&Ntt=Kershaw&Ntk=All

only available at that store and hands down the best thing around for 30 bones. as posted in the other thread, the ken onion line is also nice for something a bit more 'classic.' but owning a scallion, i can say it does not hold a candle to the tone in blade or handle material.

I gave all my groomsmen Leatherman multi-tools. And yes, they came with very very sharp knives in them.

Sorry, the best man got a bottle, and the men that escorted the bridesmaids got a bottle.

ANYTHING is a much better idea than cufflinks.

The term you're looking for is "groomsmen".

I would be pissed if someone gave me cufflinks.
