    Learn More About Groomsmen Gifts

    A groomsmen gift expresses your appreciation for both the role those closest to you play in your life, and the role they’ll play on your special day. There are no right or wrong gifts or mementos for your groomsmen, as long as they’re thoughtful and heartfelt. Consider their likes, loves, and passions. A practical or useful item will appeal to a broad range of tastes.

    Personalized groomsmen gifts make each item unique to the recipient. Personalized clothing or accessories such as a necktie or tie clip are classic choices, as are personalized shaving kits. For a groomsman who enjoys tobacco products, consider personalized cigar or cigarette accessories.


    As for how to personalize your groomsmen’s gifts, a monogram is simple, chic, and professional. For something more sentimental, consider an engraved or stitched message. The beauty of a custom groomsmen gift is you don’t have to worry if the person already has what you’re gifting—the personalization will make it unique and special.


    Matching ties or bow ties in colors that complement the wedding aesthetic can be used by the groomsmen at future formal events. Customized cufflinks with the groomsmen’s initials are valuable accessories. Pocket squares elevate a suit or tuxedo—you can even add a stitched monogram.


    Sunglasses are a cool groomsmen gift that will come in handy for outdoor weddings. They’re practical, stylish, and can be playful if you choose a bright color. If it’s that kind of wedding, a monogrammed flask gives your groomsmen access to their beverage of choice before the wedding or during the reception.


    An easy way to spoil your groomsmen—and show your appreciation—is with a groomsmen gift box set. On Etsy, you’ll find gift box options including cocktail sets, grooming sets, cigar kits, cufflink sets, and more. You can even create your own groomsmen gift bag or box, ideal for last-minute groomsmen gifts. Fill an elegant wood keepsake box with a few of your groomsmen's favorites, like snacks, a flask, slick sunglasses, or other meaningful mementos.


    A practical groomsmen gift is a symbol of appreciation. It’s hard to go wrong with drink and barware. A leather wallet or money clip will get daily use. Watches are generous gifts, or consider a keychain for a more affordable option. Travel bags are handy for any overnighters or as a carry-on for flights. For outdoorsmen, a pocketknife will be useful for their next camping or hiking trip.


    Not all groomsmen gifts need to be serious or practical. A custom bobble head that looks like each member of your party makes a hilarious non-traditional groomsmen gift. Caricatures of your wedding party are another unique groomsmen gift; they can be their own art pieces or be added to items such as flasks.

    A best-man gift can be the same gift you give your groomsmen, or you can choose to give an additional gift to your best man to show your added appreciation for everything he does. A best-man gift is by no means required; however, if your best man will be active in the wedding preparations, it’s a nice gesture that shows your gratitude. Best-man gifts don’t have to be expensive—this is an instance where it’s the thought that counts. Any gifts that are appropriate as groomsmen gifts will also work as a gift for your best man.
