A wedding is a joyous occasion that calls for special gifts in honor of the event. There are countless beautiful options when it comes to bride and bridesmaid gifts, but finding just the right thing for the groom and groomsmen can be a bit more intimidating. Here are some ideas on fantastic gifts for all of the men in your wedding.
It is customary for the groom to give the bride a fabulous piece of jewelry on their wedding day. Many brides would like to reciprocate, but have no idea where to begin. Somehow a new PS3 game cartridge just doesn t seem right for a wedding gift! The best wedding gifts have lasting value, just like the best marriages. It is even better if they can be engraved with the wedding date as a special souvenir of the event.
Sterling silver gifts are always nice choices for both the groom and his groomsmen. Most men do not wear a lot of jewelry, but there are two classic options for jewelry gifts for the men in your wedding. The first is a timepiece. Silver pocketwatches are a very elegant and classic gift idea. If the pocketwatch is a gift from the bride to her groom, it would be lovely to engrave the watch with the date of the wedding. For groomsmen gifts, personalize the pocketwatches with each man s initials in a block print.
The other jewelry gift that is a timeless choice for men is a handsome pair of cufflinks. This is a particularly appropriate gift for a black tie wedding as the men will all be wearing shirts with French cuffs. How much nicer it would be to wear your own special set of cufflinks rather than the ones from the tuxedo rental shop. Look for sterling silver cufflinks that can be monogrammed, or black onyx stones set in silver for a classic masculine style. Either way, you will have very attractive gifts for your groom and his groomsmen.
There are a couple of additional possibilities for wedding jewelry gifts for grooms. One is a heavy signet ring in gold or silver. Have it engraved with his monogram in a classic block style font on the top of the ring, and put your wedding date on the inside of the piece. Couples who were brought together by their faith might also consider exchanging wedding gifts of a religious nature. For the groom, a handsome large silver cross, crucifix, or Star of David would make a meaningful weeding keepsake.
It is also very thoughtful to give wedding gifts to the other men in the family, especially the fathers and grandfathers of the bride and groom. Cufflinks are always an excellent choice. You could also go with something simple such as a bottle of very good wine with a silver corkscrew and bottle stopper set. Include a personal note from the happy couple thanking the parent or grandparent for his love and support, and you will have a very special gift.
