It is customary for the groom to present groomsmen gifts to his friends who were included in his entourage. They took time out from work and their families to be at his wedding, decency dictates that they should at least get a token for their trouble. A word of caution, though, a groom can get it wrong in an apparently simple undertaking.
You have to remember some very essential things in gift giving. Never delay, that is very important. You might suddenly remember that your wedding is only a couple of days away and you still have not purchased any gifts.
Gifts can be ordered one week before the wedding. But are you willing to pay for overnight shipping charges and expedite fees? Spending $50 to $75 more as a result of your delay adds to your overall expenses.
Even then, there is no guarantee that your package will come on time. What if the forwarding company came upon that delayed your overnight package, your groomsmen gifts coming in a day after you got married. Do not take the risk and spend extra when you are not guaranteed things will turn out right.
One way to make your gift more meaningful is to have it engraved. Seeing his or her name on a gift makes it more valuable and an instant keepsake. Whether it is an expensive or rather cheap gift, an engraving works.
A gift that is not appreciated is annoying, for both the recipient and the gift giver. You want to make sure that the gift you select for your groomsmen will be appreciated or comes close. Giving a frying fan to a groomsman will not be appreciated, even if you know that he is a short-order cook.
With the huge costs of a decent wedding and the reception, spend only on what you deem are necessary. Be aware of your budget and be sure the gifts you want to buy are at a price range you can afford. If you see in your mind your groomsmen saying cool when they open their packages, then you must buy those groomsmen gifts.
