Your wedding day is not just about celebrating the love between you and your partner; it’s also about cherishing the relationships that have supported you along the way. Your groomsmen have stood by your side through thick and thin. Show your appreciation with a thoughtful and meaningful gift. Here are 10 groomsmen gift ideas that are sure to make them feel honored and appreciated!

Flasks, Pint Glasses or Mugs

Probably the most common groomsmen gifts I’ve seen are flasks, pint glasses or mugs. These get a lot of use on wedding days and for years to come. Etsy is an obvious spot to shop for customized mugs or flasks, but these ones on Amazon are affordable and have great reviews. I like these monogrammed beer glasses as well or these fun Marvel Pint Glasses!

Unique Groomsmen Gift Idea: Pay For Their Suits

Ok, I get it – not a traditional gift. But if you have it within your means to cover the cost of suits or tuxes for your groomsmen, this would be something they would greatly appreciate. Save the money on a tangible gift and help out with this instead!

Bobbleheads

Ok, I don’t know why but I think bobbleheads are so funny. Maybe it’s tied to my love of The Office and Dwight’s bobblehead gift from Angela. But you can relatively inexpensively make a bobble head with a photo of your groomsmen. There are several services that do this out there or you can buy them right on Amazon. They even make some that are a bobblehead on a toilet or a head on a bottle opener.

A really fun Groomsmen Gift Idea: Barber Services

At one of the weddings I photographed, the couple had hired a professional barber to come to the wedding venue. The groomsmen could all get a shave or a haircut on the spot. It was such a fun experience and the guys all loved it. The ladies usually get their hair and makeup done, why should the guys get left out?

Sunglasses

Every guy loves sunglasses. I can’t blame them, I do too. I also think it’s fun to take a more casual groomsmen photo where everyone is wearing sunglasses. There are matching sets out there that say “Groomsmen” or “Best Man” like these. Although, I do like a classic pair they are likely to wear more than just on the wedding day. Can’t go wrong with some classic shades like these ones. If you want a little bit nicer pair, these Under Armour ones are great.

Themed Socks or Ties

One of my favorite groomsmen gifts I’ve seen is coordinated socks or ties. If you and your groomsmen have a favorite sports team or love characters from a movie, this can be perfect. I love Marvel character socks like these. My husband gave matching Milwaukee Brewers socks to all his groomsmen (although I would have chosen Minnesota Vikings socks!).

Fanny Packs

Ok, hear me out. Guys think fanny packs are hilarious. It’s a great groomsmen gift idea. I stand by it. I do like these Top Gun inspired fanny packs and think those are actually great for a bachelor party.
