Who's Who in your Group? Groomsmen Gifts for the Looks, the Brains, and the Wild Card

Last week's episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia brought to light an astonishing male paradigm. According to the show, male crews must have several key members to operate successfully: the looks, the brains, the muscle, the wild card, and the token girl. If you don't believe it, think about the most famous male crews of all time: Seinfeld, the A-Team, Ghostbusters, Entourage, the Ninja Turtles, the Chipmunks, Anchor Man, Animal House, The Goonies- too many to list. It's impossible for a crew to function without some or all of these important roles. Where would Jerry be without George? And Alvin without Simon? Are you the "looks" or the "brains"? Sticking to the paradigm, here are groomsmen gifts that suit every guy in your group. Groomsmen Gifts for "the Looks" Onlookers admire his cleft-chin and glossy hair. People stop and stare when he walks down the street. If you get into trouble, he bats his big blue eyes and you're out of it. Famous "the looks," include Dennis in It's Always Sunny and Dr. Venkman in Ghostbusters. Do you have one of these guys in your group? Get "the looks" groomsmen gifts that enhance his personal style. Men's grooming accessories or engraved cufflinks are perfect. If he's a narcissist (they usually are) personalize it with his name or initials. Groomsmen Gifts for "the Brains" He's super resourceful and gets you out of jams by crafting inventions in a drop of a hat. Famous "the brains" include: Leonardo from Ninja Turtles, Simon of Alvin and The Chipmunks, and Richard Data Wang of The Goonies. If your buddy is a brain, how about groomsmen gifts like these personalized pens? Groomsmen Gifts for "the Muscle" Every crew needs one guy that can bench over 200 pounds. He's the guy who gets you out of deadly jams by lifting up a car or fighting three guys at once. Famous "the muscle" include: Mr. T of the A-Team, Champ Kind of Anchorman, and Raphael of the Ninja Turtles. Groomsmen gifts like this personalized lock back knife or engraved baseball bats are ideal for "the muscle" in your group. Groomsmen Gifts for "the Wild Card" Wild cards are the toughest crew members to buy for because you'll never know what they'll say or do. Unlike the brains, muscles, or looks, wild cards get you into jams. Examples of wild cards include: Charlie from It's Always Sunny, Kramer from Seinfeld, and Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock of the A-Team. We recommend not getting groomsmen gifts like knives or baseball bats for the wild card in your group. Play it safe with wallets, engraved barware, or personalized poker sets - again, you never know what to expect from the wild card. Attendant Gifts for the "Token Girl" There's room for only one girl in every all-male crew. She's the April of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Elaine on Seinfeld, the PJ on My Boys, the Sarah Palin of the 2008 Election. Basically, she's just one of the guys - except she's a girl. If she's a true-blue crew member, ask her to stand up with you at the wedding. These days, it's perfectly acceptable to have female attendants. Get her an attendant gift that suits her tom-boy style, like a cute hooded sweatshirt or ask your fiance to help come up with ideas. Once you figure out who's who in your bunch, it's easy to find groomsmen gifts! GroomStand has you covered with gifts for every member of your entourage.

Who the Heck is this Emily Post Chick?

Whenever wedding etiquette questions pop up in GroomStand's inbox, we think of Emily Post. What fork do I eat with first? How do I write a thank you note? When do I give the groomsmen gifts? We look to Mrs. Post for all the answers. Why her? Well, she was the first to write a book on the subject. Her suggestions on manners are considered gospel. But what makes her the expert? Wedding Etiquette as we know It Emily Post grew up in high society around the turn of the 20th century. After Mrs. Post divorced her husband, she turned to writing romantic stories of European and American sophistication. Drawing from her finishing school, Mrs. Post ventured through the United States and Europe before WWI as a correspondent, writing articles that appeared in Vanity Fair, Collier's and McCall's. Her weekly radio program, syndicated newspaper column and authorship of multiple books established "according to Emily Post" as a household phrase. In 1946, Mrs. Post created the Emily Post Institute to research society customs and dispel etiquette experts' advice to media outlets and corporations. Emily Post is the etiquette expert, but look where she's from. She is distinctly upper class. Not saying it's a bad thing. I wish my wedding could be a high-class soiree. Instead, it will probably be the kind-of wedding where it's perfectly acceptable to eat with your hands. Dated Emily Post rules like the groom "arranging and paying for lodging for his wedding party" are out of the question for me. I can barely afford groomsmen gifts! Yet, I completely agree that the groom should purchase the marriage license. Is it OK to pick and choose only wedding etiquette rules I want to follow? Many people write into Groomstand with similar dilemmas. They're at a crossroad of etiquette. Blindly follow the Emily Post bible, or throw her rules right out the window. My advice is to maintain the spirit of Emily Post at your wedding. There is no need to lose sleep over "when it is or isn't OK to use e-mail wedding invitations" or "who to invite to the rehearsal dinner." Etiquette is about considering and respecting all of your guests. When you make a good effort to care for your company, you will enjoy your wedding and so will they. By the way: Forks: Use the outer most utensils and work your way toward your plate Thank you cards: Identify the person by name, thank them for the wedding gift, and include how you will use it. Groomsmen Gifts: Give personalized flasks, pocket knives or engraved barware anytime between the bachelor party until the beginning of the ceremony.

When Wedding Toasts Go Horribly, Horribly Wrong

Now that you found those groomsmen gifts, sit back and watch the worst wedding toasts of all time. Is this a toast or a roast? When choosing your best man, don't forget that he is responsible for the wedding toast. With the pressure to be as funny as Dane Cook and as eloquent as Barack Obama, the best man probably feels more wedding-day jitters than the groom. If you think your best man will blow it like the boneheads below, refer him to the The Perfect Toast. It only takes 10 minutes to ruin a wedding. Don't let these bad wedding toasts happen to you! I Have an Announcement.....the Bride is Pregnant "The best man at a wedding I was in said during his toast, 'Congratulations to the new parents!' No one except a select few knew the bride was pregnant -- not even her parents!" ~ Via MSN Relationships The Wedding Singer Not even the Wedding Singer could pacify Steve Buschemi's character in this clip. He grabs the mic and angrily divulges all his brother's secrets. Why the bad blood between these two? Did the brother skimp out on his groomsmen gifts? Warning: Best men and booze don't mix. The Toast Goes Down in Flames...Literally Miranda from Sex and the City tries to give a beautiful toast, but lights in on fire. We recommend you keep candles far, far away from your groomsmen. Nervous Best Man What made him so nervous? He's just giving a speech in front of 200 people. Oh wait...that's probably it. Best man tip: have a glass of wine before the speech. Only one, not six. And practice your speech a couple times beforehand. Improv - Never a Good Idea Best men aren't the only ones that have trouble pulling off a perfect speech. This female groomswoman tries to wing it and ends up talking all about herself and mentioning divorce....twice. Now that you've seen what happens when wedding toasts go horribly, horribly wrong, give your best men a couple of rules.

What's Up Bro? Groomsmen Gifts for your Bros

GroomStand Defines Bro: Everyone notices when a bro walks into a room. It's impossible not to. When they're not loudly going on about girls, they're talking about someone's ass they kicked. Or how drunk they are/were/or soon will be. A bro dons tight, ripped jeans and flip flops, with a shirt that says something like "Getting Lucky in Kentucky." When it comes to groomsmen gifts for bros, anything beer-related will do. They also have a preference for bachelor party tee shirts and personalized pub signs. (Broto from Bro Spotting.com). When someone asks, "What's up Bro?" (the most over-used phrase in brospeak), turn around: we guarantee you see a guy drinking Red Bull and wearing a flipped-up, turned-to-the-side visor that crowns a receding crop of highlighted hair. Bronus if he has a popped-up collar. Bros are rapidly aging frat boys that thrive on attention. Once you know who your bros are, it's easy to find them groomsmen gifts. The Urban Dictionary definition: Nearly everyone in a fraternity is a bro but there are also many bros who are not in a fraternity. They often wear a rugby shirt and a baseball cap. It is not uncommon for them to have spiked hair with frosted tips. GroomStand note: True bros wear their baseball hats backwards. Where to Find Bros: Vegas, baby. Last time we went to Sin City, bros were everywhere: sunburned and floating around in the pool with yard-tall beers, trying to scam on chicks. On the plane, yelling "That's so Money, Baby," At the club, wearing un-cuffed vertical-striped shirts with dark jeans, doing the dice-throw dance so obviously ripped off from "Knocked Up." If a bro can't make it to Vegas, you'll find him in Cancun. X-Treme Sporting Events: When bros aren't drunk, they're actually quite athletic. They favor extreme sports like snowboarding, skydiving, drunk softball, or dodgeball. Bros are very competitive and known to spike a ball and scream "In Your Face, Broham!" Hot Tubs: Bros are natural swimmers and partiers. A hot tub is a bro's playground and has been since bros first appeared in the 70's. Single women should not go anywhere near a hot tub in a bro's presence. Famous Bros: Dane Cook: A tee-shirt, tight-jean-clad comedian. Hair sometimes spiked into a brohawk. Possibly pops his collar. Brody Jenner from MTV's "Bromance." We'll get to the definition of Bromance later, when we explore popular "bromanteaus." (Pronounced bro-man-toe. It's two words combined to make one word. Our version has to have the word bro in it.) Brody Jenner is most famous for dating Lauren Conrad of "The Hills" fame. He wears a backwards hat and has a black book that's a mile long. In the show, guys compete for a spot in his exclusive entourage, which includes rich bros that do nothing but party in hot tubs.Derek, the fictional character from "Step Brothers." A classic example of what happens when a bro becomes successful. Groomsmen gifts for broguls like Derek: a sleek money clip key chain. That way, he can flash his cash and not seem conceited. Groomsmen Gifts for Various Bros: Brohemian: Bro incognito. He pretends to be creative in order to pick up those hot art-house chicks. He shows off his sensitive, arty side but only in front of the attractive barista. Once she leaves the room, he takes off those nerdy black vanity glasses and goes full into bro mode. Groomsmen gifts for brohemians: Wine glasses. He'll bring them out when she's around. But when it's just the guys, it's all about personalized shooters. G.I. Bro: A combat-obsessed bro. He thinks he's Sylvester Stallone, except more ripped. He swears he once wrestled a crocodile and claims he knows how to cage fight. Groomsmen gifts for G.I. Bro: engraved pocket knives and multi tools. Brofessor: He's secretly and surprisingly smart. When he's not out with his buddies, he reads. When he gets drunk he philosophizes. Absinthe is his drink of choice and he uses his knowledge to get ladies. Every pick-up line begins something like this: "You know Nietzsche once said....." Groomsmen gifts for the brofessor: personalized pens or a document bag, also known as a murse. Popular Bromanteaus and Brospeak: From the Onion and the Urban Dictionary. Brogesteron: Energy drinks and beer. The fuel bros need to survive. Broweiser: A bro's favorite drink. Used in a sentence, "Broweiser anyone?" Or "Beer me with one of those broweisers, ,man." Bromance: As described by the Urban Dictionary: The complicated love and affection shared by two straight males. Brofessional: An old bro. He wears an earring and baseball hat to distract from his graying temples. He lectures younger bros but fails miserably with dated pick-up lines and stories from his glory days. Brodom: The things a bro will do for other bros. Like when he "gets your back" or "backs you up" in a fight. Brodom can also be used to describe the alpha bro's realm, similar to "kingdom." Bromosapien: A new breed of guys, taking over the world one awful reality show at a time. Brolific: Intellectually productive. Like when he realizes there's a new way to use bro in a word. Brohawk: A highlighted fauxhawk that barely measures an inch. Not to be confused with the mohawk, which trendsetters once considered cool. The brohawk is a bro's sad attempt to stand out from other bros. That's all bros!

What is your fortune?

Submitted on June 23, 2006 My proposal blew her and me away! I had the ring in my pocket and was planning on asking her sometime during the evening. We decided to eat dinner at the place we had our first date, P.F. Chang's. I was not planning on asking her at the restaurant, but the fortune cookies decided otherwise. Her fortune read, "Someone is holding a gift from you" and my fortune read, "Stop searching forever, happiness is right next to you". After I read that, I decided to get down on my knee and ask her in front of the entire restaurant. Think you've got what it takes to win the title SMarrying Man of the Month?

What Does Your Mustache Say About You?

Shop by Mustache for the Perfect Groomsmen Gifts It's Movember, the month of mustaches. Today, we examine three mustaches and what they say about a guy's personality. Is he an adventurer? An artist? A slacker? Just look at his stash! Once you figure out his personality, use this as a guide when your shopping for those groomsmen gifts. Pencil-Thin Mustache - This fine mustache sits directly above the lip with a wide gap between the nose and the facial follicles. Famous wearers of the pencil-thin mustache include John Waters and Prince. If you have a pencil mustache you're likely daring, artistic, and possibly insane. Consider fashionable, but classic groomsmen gifts like engraved cufflinks or this pocket watch if any of your boys sport such a 'stash. Handlebar Mustache - Fist, get better acquainted with the handlebar mustache at the handlebar mustache club. By definition the handlebar mustache is bushy with upward pointing ends. Famous handlebar mustachios include baseball pitcher Rollie Fingers. Since this mustache takes hours to maintain, it says you're meticulous and very concerned about appearance. Personalized shaving sets are the perfect groomsmen gifts for your narcissistic, handlebar havin' buddies. Inverse Mustache (AKA the Abe Lincoln) - This fuzzy chin strap does not qualify as a mustache per se, but we like to think of it as an inverse 'stache. The inverse stache started with Abe Lincoln, in a vain effort to hide his weak jawline. These days, a Lincoln-eske chin strap says you're an adventure-seeking type. Groomsmen gifts like pocket knives and multi tools are perfect for scruffy, outdoorsy guys who can't be bothered to groom an actual mustache. Check back soon for more mustaches and more on what your mustache says about you. And while you're waiting, shop for personalized groomsmen gifts at GroomStand.

Poor Shatner Didn't Get a Wedding Invite; Be Nice and Beam Him Up Some Groomsmen Gifts! Has William Shatner officially lost his mind? Here's a video of him ranting about how Trek co-star George Takei didn't invite him to his September 14th wedding to Brad Altman. Takei and Shatner have always had a tumultuous relationship. "Poor Man, there's a sickness there" Shatner says on the video. Maybe poor baby Shatner is just mad that he didn't get any groomsmen gifts. Boo hoo. According to this article on CNN, Takei iand Altman invited Shatner but he never sent in his RSVP. Is this just another case of a wedding invitation lost in space? Or is there more to the story?

Weekly WTF: Real Life Mario Kart

In college, I played Mario Kart for hours on end. Koopa Beach was no match for me. The rainbow bridge? A piece of cake (rainbow sherbert on top). Traversing through fantasy worlds in a tiny GoKart took the stress off finals. And I got to take out my road rage on roommates instead of real drivers. In Mario Land, problem drivers are solved simply by shooting a banana peel or turtle shell out the rear. If only things were really that easy. Koopa kudos to Remi Gaillard, a French stuntman who, clad in Mario costume took to the open road - in a go kart. With a couple banana peels. Take a break from wedding planning, holiday stress, shopping for groomsmen gifts or whatever else you're doing and wax nostalgia with this video. It has nothing to do with nuptials or holidays and every thing to do with a dude's favorite game: Mario Kart. Everyone loves Mario Kart. Ever meet a dude that doesn't? If so, let me talk to him. But watch out, I might be tempted to throw a turtle shell. This personalized vintage race car sign makes great groomsmen gifts for guys living the dream or still dreaming. In the immortal words of Luigi: Yippppeeee!

Weekly WTF: Couple Relishes 42 pound Wedding Burger

Mmmmm...hamburger. Americans aren't the only ones who love burgers. Fast food addicts, Tom and Kerry Watts of the UK commissioned Zak's American Diner to grill up a giant burger for their Big Day. Let's make this clear - it's not a wedding cake that looks like a burger, it's a real burger. And we thought the whole world looked down on Americans for our fatty cuisine. WTF? Maybe Americans should serve over-sized Haggis cakes at our weddings. If your buddies like burgers as much as this groom check out these grilling accessories for groomsmen gifts. We've seen burger cakes before (take a look at our past post on groom's cakes) but this wedding burger weighed in at 42 pounds. Zak's restaurant didn't skimp on the garnishes either. Twelve onions, 30 tomatoes, 48 slices of dill pickle, and about 2 1/2 pounds of cheese topped the burger. It took three chefs to lift it out of the oven. Guests were also treated to other items from Zak's American restaurant, including a combination of the couple's favorite burgers: surf and turf for Mr. Watts and a cheeseburger for Mrs. Watts.Thankfully, no one suffered a heart attack. Firefighter Tom, 26 said: "Not only did I get to marry the woman of my dreams but I also got to have the burger of my dreams in the same day." Read the full article here. Inspired by Tom and Kerry's humongous hamburger? Construct your own giant burger groom's cake. Remember, it's a groom's cake so don't give your bride-to-be veto power. Pssst....don't forget those groomsmen gifts. Shop Groomstand for groomsmen gifts and other Big Day accessories.

Weekly WTF: Brizilian Woman Killed By Husband's Coffin

It turns out, riding in a hearse is more dangerous than giving out knives as groomsmen gifts. This week's wtf comes from "the Telegraph". Marciana Barcelos was killed by the coffin carrying her late husband, when a vehicle rear-ended the hearse she traveled in. The coffin slammed into the back of Barcelos, killing her instantly. Read the full story here. This is one spine-tingling wtf. A new widow, killed by her dead husband's coffin? It's almost too much. It seems like a twisted revenge plot from beyond, but we like to think he just couldn't stand the afterlife without his wife. And while we're on the subject of sad, the world's ugliest dog, Gus died this week. Sure, he was one ugly pup, but we can help but to have a heart for the underdog. Rest in peace, little buddy. For less depressing news, get into the holiday spirit with groomsmen gifts and more from GroomStand. If you need a drink after that wtf (we sure do) take a look at this cocktail shaker. And next time you go to a funeral, don't sit in the passenger side.
