Top 10 Over-Played Wedding Songs

A few weeks ago, I received a Labor Day wedding invite. Along with the RSVP, the couple asked for a song I'd like to hear at the wedding. What an awesome democratic idea! One problem: I received this invite on June 26th. The day after Michael Jackson died. Since I couldn't stop 'till I got enough, I made my tribute to the King of Pop... along with every other guest attending the wedding. Now we've all stopped. We've definitely had enough. And this Thriller of an idea went Bad in a hurry. Thanks to this wedding's theme of overplayed popsongs, here's a tribute to the top 10 over-played wedding songs. Top Ten Over-Played Wedding Songs YMCA by The Village People Why... are we still doing this? If you want to look like a hairy dope, just start spelling out words with your arms. Fun Village People Factoid: Some of the Village People are actually married. But no woman could tie down our good friend Chewbacca! Shout by the Isley Brothers Totally effed out. Compared to anything we hear nowadays, this sounds like half a song. I could care less about all of the crowd interaction. Get down, stand up... do the hookie pookie and turn yourself around - I could care less, and so should you. Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle Talk about gag. The song stirs up sob emotions during the father/daughter dance. This cliche snoozefest is the equivalent of the Zamboni song at a hockey game -- it's a terrible song but it corners the market, so it always gets a play. Great for old folks with no taste or the hearing impaired. Celebration by Kool and the Gang The best songs allude to how you feel, they don't repeat the action that you should be doing at that very moment. Yes, we're celebrating, but I don't feel the need to shout "celebrate good times, C'MON!" every time I'm happy. That's like singing, "I like food" every time I eat. Macarena by Los Del Rio You don't know what they're saying. You don't know why you're sticking your arms out. Who thought this was a good idea? Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks It works as a karaoke song, but I you listen to the lyrics, it's about a estranged-ex-turned-cowboy wedding crasher. Major league bummer when it comes to wedding songs. Groomstand hint: Got friends in low places? Give your buddies groomsmen gifts like tavern signs or beer steins. Stayin Alive by the BeeGees A curse is put on John Travolta's right arm. The only reason we still play this song is he makes it so easy to dance to... but it's totally not. We all look like dorks. Fun Saturday night Fever Factoid: The sequel aptly named Staying Alive was directed by Slyvester Stalone. Apparently Travolta's Saturday Night Fever was still burning, which sounds like a God awful STD. The Electric Slide by various artists This is the only hope for our rhythmically-challenged friends to get on the dance floor. I don't know what's worse: the people who take this dance routine seriously because they practice every Wednesday night at the ole log cabin tavern, or the unwilling suckers who don't know the steps. Just the thought of line dancing makes me shudder. Hot, Hot, Hot by Buster Poindexter Even though Buster was a pseudonym for David Johansen, he looked like a d-bag, and so will you when you're rockin' out to this irritating song. When you start your conga line, play something that doesn't sound like skinning a cat. Thriller by Michael Jackson News Flash: It is no longer awesome for groomsmen to do the Thriller Routine. If you don't take it seriously, then you look like a drunken mess. If you do take it seriously, you look like an obsessed weirdo trying to dance to a 20-year-old music video. Give up the dream. This bride and groom should have.

To Shave or Not to Shave - Wedding Facial Hair Trends

Conan O'Brien and David Letterman refused to shave during the writers' strike. Hockey players sprout full beards during the playoffs every year. And who could forget in 2004 when the clean-shaven Yankees lost the American League Championship to the grizzly Red Sox? Seems like solidarity beards and mustaches are the newest way to bond with your boys. Mustache Mania Requesting your guys not to shave might make you seem like a groomzilla, so sweeten the deal with quality groomsmen gifts. Bridesmaids flaunt "go bride," spirit with matching glitter tank tops and jewelery. You and your groomsmen can show solidarity with Tom Selleck mustaches and these groomsmen t-shirts. If you decide matching mustaches are the way to go, keep them nicely trimmed. There is nothing worse than unkempt facial hair. Grizzly Groomsmen Whether you and your groomsmen grow goatees, soul patches, or 5 o'clock shadows, get the bride's approval first. She probably won't want pictures of you and your handlebar mustache, no matter how fantastic it is. To avoid such a scenario (and many, many tears) shave off the stubble as part of a bachelor party ritual. Give your guys the luxury of an old-fashioned shave with this shaving kit. Wedding Facial Hair Ins and Outs You don't have to study pogonology to know what's in and what's out. Just look around. Pencil-thin mustaches and chin straps are out. Short, bristly beards and five o'clock shadows (think George Clooney) stay in style. When in doubt, go au naturel or ask your best men what looks best.

Tit For Tat And Tool For Set

Things are made to be broken. It's not a fun fact of life, but it sure is true. Or maybe a less cynical way to take that phrase is things are made to work, but will eventually break. Regardless of how you look at it the end result is the same. The question you need to ask is how long? Everyone needs to be able to fix things and your groomsmen aren't an exception to this case. In fact the perfect gifts for them would probably be some kind of tool set. They'll want one that has it all, making it easy to keep for home use or keep in the car if a situation ever comes up when they'll need tools, and it will come up. It's always better to have something you'll really need when the time comes and receiving sets like this will just make it that much more appreciated.

Three Bachelor Parties on a Budget

The Best Groomsen Gifts? Cheap Bachelor Parties! Everyone is feeling the pinch from the dropping dow and miserable housing market. This doesn't mean you should wear potato sacks instead of tuxes or head to the dollar store for your groomsmen gifts. However, when it comes to your bachelor party, keep it simple and inexpensive. Here are three budget alternatives to the VIP bachelor party. Poker Night vs. Vegas Like a moth to a flame, grooms are lured to Sin City for their bachelor parties. There's nothing wrong with Vegas, but you won't miss out on anything by skipping it this year - except a ruthless hangover and empty pockets. Movies like Very Bad Things wrongly convinced men that nothing tops a Vegas bachelor party. Save your money (or win some more) by throwing a poker party at your best man's place. Lame, you say? Think again. Puff on stogies, put the World Poker Tour on TV, and get your game face on. Suggestion for groomsmen gifts: personalized poker sets. Movie to Watch: Rounders. Total savings by skipping Vegas: $500 on craps, $150 per night for a room on the strip, and don't forget to subtract the sum of what you intended to spend at the Vegas strip club. Wink, wink. Camp Out vs. Club When you were little, camping out was the ultimate activity - that is, until you learned about girls. If inclement weather forced you inside, you built forts out of bedsheets! Those were good times, weren't they? Wax nostalgia and take your guys on a camping trip. Pack the baked beans, s'mores, chili, and MoonShine. Groomsmen gifts: personalized hip flasks. Movie to Watch: It's a camp out, you know, in the wildness? If you must watch a movie, make it Stand By Me. Total savings by skipping the night club: $150 to rent out the VIP room, $20 per car for parking, and $9 per drink. BBQ on the Beach vs. South Beach Guys are heading to South Beach in droves to celebrate their last night of singledom. South Beach rivals Vegas as one of the hottest bachelor party destinations. Sure, Miami's white sandy beaches, swaying palms, and pulsing nightlife sound tempting, but when you come home, there's an angry fianc and zero account balance to deal with. Head to your local beach - it might not have white sand and turquoise waves, but so what? Grill up some burgers and brats or make your cookout competitive with a barbecue-sauce taste test. Groomsmen gifts: Grilling accessories. Movie to Watch: Weekend at Bernies. Total savings by skipping South Beach: $200 per night on an Ocean View Hotel Room, $100 for just about every South Beach meal, and $50 for an "I'm sorry," gift to your bride-to-be (many brides frown on South Beach bachelor parties). Now that we saved you a bundle, shop GroomStand for affordable groomsmen gifts and more.

The Weekly WTF: Great Pumpkin Goes Missing

Every Friday, Groomstand will feature a WTF. Before you read on, get your mind out of the gutter - WTF means Work Time Fun. Each week, we'll feature wedding news, odd stories, hideous wedding cakes, and anything else that makes you ask, wtf? Finally, relief from your hectic workweek and a break from shopping for those groomsmen gifts. This week's WTF - According to the The Flint Journal, a giant gourd is missing in Michigan. Bill Teer, the owner of the pumpkin suspects thieves pilfered it from his front yard. Preposterous - it weighs 450 pounds! How come a nosy neighbor didn't see the pumpkin being driven away in a pickup truck or being rolled down the street? It's a little suspicious that no one saw anything. WTF? Missing posters are up. Teer is offering $200 for the pumpkin's safe return. Hopefully, the pumpkin is returned safely before someone carves it up, digs out the pumpkin seeds, or worse - smashes it on a teacher's driveway. Poor pumpkin, it's probably shivering all alone in a basement somewhere. In the immortal words of Linus Van Pelt, "oh Great Pumpkin, wtf are you?" Glad to provide you with a weekly wtf. But now it's time to get back to those groomsmen gifts. Shop GroomStand. for everything you'll need on the Big Day. And if you're in Michigan keep a look out for that gargantuan gourd.

The Wedding Rehearsal Dinner: Another Excuse to Party

Not everyone has a rehearsal dinner before the wedding, but there are few reasons to skip it. Normally, the rehearsal dinner is an informal gathering the night before the big day. It gives an opportunity for the wedding party to mingle in a low key setting, and also serves as the podium for the bride and groom to thank everyone involved with the wedding planning. Here are some tips from GroomStand so you make the most of the opportunity. Who plans the wedding rehearsal? If you're going the traditional route, the parents of the groom normally pick up the bill for this shindig. To take it a step further, the mother of the groom is the person on point to plan the party. If her taste doesn't match with yours, or especially the brides, it's OK. Most people know that the bride and groom have enough going on, and since this is normally an informal event, the only thing people will be worried about is having a good time. Sit down with Mother to let her know what you'd like the day to be like, and make sure to give your mother a gift of love for all her hard work with a Personalized Heart Compact Mirror. Since practice makes perfect, most people use the rehearsal as an opportunity to make a run-through of the wedding (think of Jr. High school play dress rehearsal). To keep a lighter mood, it's not uncommon for wedding parties to plan a theme around the day. Awesome wedding rehearsal ideas: BBQ Hoedown - Have some knee slappin' fun in the backyard with a barbecue and fiddle music. This is a super-de-duper informal approach, and if money is tight, there is always an option to make it a potluck. Since you're all outside, this is a great chance to pull out your groomsmen gifts of the Personalized Chrome Plated Flask w/ cigar holder and light up a stogy with your best buds. Bowling party - Skip the party setup by throwing a strike at the local bowling lane. Rent a party room, and if they don't sell their own food, cater it with whatever you like. If you're still trying to keep it swanky, some bowling alleys like Lucky Strikes have a dress code to maintain a posh and upscale atmosphere. To the winner of the first annual whatever-your-last-name-is tournament, hand out a personalized bowling pub sign with your name on it. Rock out with roller skates - Renting out a skating rink isn't that expensive. Just like a bowling alley, they have the same party facilities and should be pretty relaxed about bringing in catered food. Although this is probably the coolest idea on the list, double-check your guest list to make sure everyone is able body enough to skate around with a disco ball shining in their eyes. Casino Night - Find out how lucky you are with a casino themed party. While this might take some extra room, setting up tables for poker, craps or bingo will allow your wedding party to mingle with each other at their own pace. To set the mood for the night, send your wedding party personalized poker playing cards as invitations to your wedding rehearsal. Wine tasting - Class up your back yard with an outdoor wine tasting. As a way to save money, have your guests bring one bottle of a wine of their choice to the party. This will give you the best chance of providing a wide variety of colors and flavors. Have your groomsmen see our posting on How to Pop the Cork, and set them up with a Personalized Wine Accessory Gift Set as great groomsmen gifts for helping the wedding party open their bottles. No matter what kind of wedding rehearsal you choose, a well planned one can be just as memorable as the wedding without breaking the bank. Have a great time, and keep that party rolling into the next day.

The Wedding Getaway Car

The bride has been making fashion statements throughout the wedding. This dress is by so-and-so. This veil was #1 in whatever magazine. It's time for you to put your own man stamp on this wedding. Just seconds after you and the bride are married; you'll hold hands and burst back down the aisle to find the car of your dreams waiting to take you on your first newlywed adventure. Don't just think getting the car of your dreams is only going to feed your own ego, it's one of the best groomsmen gifts you can deliver. Finding the Ideal Car If you're a classic guy, you can easily find a limo to take your unimaginative butt around town in style. Most places charge an hourly rate on limos that range anywhere from $50 to $200, and normally require you to sign up for a minimum hourly charge of 2-5 hours. So, if you've always had your eye on rollin' in a stretch Hummer, it's going to cost you around $1000. Get your money's worth by taking your groomsmen around the block a few times before the ceremony, which also gives you the chance to hand out Personalized Brushed Metal Flasks as groomsmen gifts. If you're the kind of guy that wants to get his own hands behind the wheel, renting a sports car isn't far out of the realm. If you have the cash, there are only a few factors that might get in the way: You need to live near a major city. If you're out in Middle America, it's hard enough to find a descent selection in Volkswagen, much less Ferrari. You're going to be driving. Some of these cars can cost a few hundred thousand dollars. You're going to need enough confidence that you don't dump the clutch as you make your getaway, and you'll have to be sober as the priest. On the other hand, you could pawn the driving job off to someone in your wedding party and call it a last second groomsmen gift. If you're cool on both those fronts, a rough estimate for renting a newish Ferrari 360 Spider will run you $1100 dollars for a day. Otherwise, if you're ok with driving a cool car that you actually see on the road like a BMW M6 Convertible, or a Mercedes Benz SL, it will run you around $500 for the day. Decorating the Getaway Car Normally, it's the job of the groomsmen to smear up the back window with the 'just married' sign. As far as tips and tricks with any car, beware of using shaving cream for this stunt. Shaving cream or gel will be fine on the back window, but it can damage the paint. A better alternative is a bar of soap. You might not be able to see it as well, but you can give it to the ring bear and he won't destroy anything. Back in the day, it was tradition to tie shoes to the back bumper. The original thought was that leather was thought to ward off evil spirits (that's what I use in my home!) and leather shoes were a logical choice to keep the bride and groom safe. Nowadays, people tie tin cans (or anything that makes noise) to the inside of the trunk. Most of the time rental companies aren't down with you dragging something with their expensive product, so a better alternative might be hooking streamers and balloons to the outside of the car.

The Ten Commandments of Groomsmen Photos

You don't have to explain it to us, the groomsmen picture was not your idea. You knew enough to supply the personalized beer mugs as groomsmen gifts, but what seemed like a simple shot of five guys with a plastic smile now looks as natural as a Jack-in-the-box taco. Even though it may seem like your groomsmen got standing lessons from Quasimodo, there's no reason to fret. You can make your vow of brotitude a work of art with GroomStand's blasphemous guide to the perfect dude picture. The Ten Commandments of Groomsmen Photography 10. Thou Shalt Not Show thy Rage nor Fury Try to look tough in your wedding pictures and you'll just look like a d-bag who doesn't know how to smile. You're not in the mob. You have no entourage. We're assuming you've never been shot. And there's no reason to strike fear in heart of the bride. 9. Thou Shalt not use thy Overexposure nor thy Fisheye Lens We'll let it pass for a Christian rock album cover, but there's no arguable reason to look like a 40-foot washed-out giant. 8. Thou Shalt Resist thy Timed Action Pose Action shots have the potential for greatness. That is, until someone tries to make you and your groomsmen defy gravity. No matter what, your picture will look funky because that one guy doesn't commit to the shot (you know who you are.) The bride wants wonderful, iconic pictures of the happiest day of her life. If that means continuing the search for droids at the wedding - may the force be with you! 6. Thou Shalt Know thy Picture is Shot No matter what crazy pose you want to try (like this seven-headed groomsmonster) - it's not going to turn out if someone keeps asking the groom's father questions. 5. Thou Shalt Present thy Picture to thy Future Child Without Embarrassment Sure, your affluent suburban friends and you flashing "gang" signs by your Chevy in the woods is all the rage in 2009, but you'll deserve ever ounce of crap your kids can dish out in 20 years. By the way, the peace-sign tilted to the side is not a gang sign. And spelling "blood" with your fingers is overplayed. 4. Thou Shalt not Strike thy Pose Looking off into the distance may seem like a philosophic artistic expression at the time, but to the rest of the world it looks like the photographer asked you guys to put your hands on your hips and do long division. 3. Thou Shalt not Depend on thy Hat Unless your friends and you wear matching fedoras everyday (because you're cool like that), lose the rented hat. Otherwise, you'll end up looking like a group of smooth criminals. And trust me, that trend ended four Michael Jackson blog posts ago. 2. Thou Shalt not Punish thy Groomsmen The "faces down the line" might sound great on paper, but the fifth groomsmen on the left might as well be in no man's land. Even though his face is barely visible, he's still content after a few nips from his groomsmen gift of a personalized flask. 1. Thou Shalt Appear Comfortable As a groom, the last thing you want is to not put any effort into your groomsmen picture, and still look like a goober. Sit in front of a mirror for an hour and practice your smile (I'm serious). You're going to force a few hundred grins every hour on your wedding day, and you need to know if you look like a dimwit with your teeth showing.

The Role of the Original Groomsmen

Nowadays, groomsmen are a set piece to the modern day wedding. Not only do they represent the unbreakable bonds of friendship and family that made the groom who he is today, they also act as an unpaid workforce that busts their butts so the wedding can go off without a hitch. We all know that groomsmen work hard to deserve their groomsmen gifts, but their role in the wedding day has gotten a lot easier over time. Take a trip back in time as Groomstand.com examines some incredible and bizarre groomsmen origin stories. Where did Groomsmen come from? So we all know that once upon a time, weddings really didn't have anything to do with two people falling in love. When we look at the Dark Ages (for all you non-history buffs, I'm talking about the Middle Ages in Europe when there wasn't a whole lot of learnin' going on), the groom would assemble a search party made up of his family and friends when there wasn't a suitable bride in the groom's village. Remember when you and the boys would go on the prowl for chicks back in the day? Well, this takes it to a whole new level as the groom's party literally went on the hunt for a bride by capturing a woman from a nearby community. It would when be up to the groomsmen to fight off the bride's family and make a clear path for the groom and his newly acquired prize to make their escape. Before you go into battle with your boys, make sure you set them up with groomsmen gifts of this Engraved Luxe Cocktail Shaker. These great gifts for men make a wonderful way of saying thanks for always having your back.

The Other Wedding Photos: Choosing a Camera

You picked the venue, hired someone to design your wedding cake, and of course, booked a photographer for your wedding. And sure, the wedding photographer(s) will get all the stereotypically beautiful shots: the extended family hobnobbing, the flower girl walking down the aisle, the "you-may-kiss-the-bride" moment. But what about the events around your wedding? Unless you have a mountain of cash lying around, you probably haven't paid a film crew to document your bachelor party, your honeymoon, and your first vacation. Yes, the reality sets in - you need a new camera. Don't worry. Your pals with the groomsmen gifts at GroomStand have you covered. We'll take a quick look at the mitigating factors in choosing a new digital camera. Camera Price vs. Features Balance Just like with cell phones and laptops, the digital camera market has become more crowded and confusing than ever these days. It's easy to get ripped off. To that end, it helps to have a set of ground rules; things you must have in a camera. Once you determine all those things, it just becomes a price game at that point. Some things to look for: Megapixels - Sure, it's important, but please see my caveats on interpolation below. Video Capability - It's not gonna be like your camcorder, but it's nice to have some on-the-fly video functionality and a decent built-in mic for capturing audio. Some even have YouTube-ready formatting! Geo-Location - If you're flying to a foreign location for your honeymoon, some cameras have neat GPS tagging options so you can see exactly where you took that snapshot on your remote hike in the Peruvian Andes. WiFi & Docking - Want to upload pics directly to Flickr or Photobucket from your camera? It's possible now if you have a solid WiFi connection. And there are wide ranges of docking stations that will make instant printing and transferring pics to your computer really simple. Memory Card Slots - If you obsess over snapping every little shot, you're going to need a bigger memory card. Most digital cameras only have a sliver of onboard storage. Good news? 1GB SD cards are dirt cheap these days; around $10-$20 if you know where to look. Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon and a wide range of other manufacturers make comparable models, all of which do cool things for low prices. That's where you have to look at what the experts say, and more importantly, what owners say about each camera. Over at Imaging Resource they have a great little cheat sheet for sorting camera reviews by price, by manufacturer, and by megapixel. Image Interpolation Interpo-what? It's a big word that means a camera with more megapixels might not always produce better images. iStockPhoto.com has a great write-up on the details of image interpolation and why it'll make all your photos look fuzzy and pixilated, but this pretty much sums it up: "...interpolation is the practice of hardware and software manufacturers sampling neighboring pixels to predict or invent additional pixels, adding resolution to an image." The sales hounds at Best Buy will try to sell you on megapixels, but if you ask them about interpolation and their response is to stare blankly into space, go elsewhere or shop online. Camera Alternatives & Closing Thoughts If we take smartphones out of the mix - which can do pretty much anything here in the iPhone-era - there are some notable alternatives to digital cameras. My favorite, though, is the Flip Ultra HD. For around $200, the thing takes up to 2 hours of HD video that's stupid-easy to share via Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube and it has HDMI output for TV playback. So keep that in the back of your mind if the price tag starts to get a little hairy on the digital camera you're scouting. Remember, whatever you wind up getting, it'll be worth the investment; you'll be capturing truly special moments that will take on a life of their own outside the bindings of your wedding album.

The Origin of Why Groomsmen Dress Like the Groom

GroomStand knows that you care what you look like on your wedding day. The last think you want to do is look like a jackass in a cream-colored ruffled shirt. Come on, your wedding is the most photographed day of your life. Looking your best with everyone else Isn't it ironic then, that you make such a fuss about looking your best for your wedding even though you end up wearing the same tuxedo as your groomsmen? Maybe you can pawn this off as one of your groomsmen gifts, and give your buddies a chance to stand at the altar and share in your good looks. But the reality is, your buddies are dressing up just like you because someone told you that's what you're supposed to do. Welcome to another round of Groomsmen origin stories, where we at GroomStand.com give you our take on some of the bizarre and unexplained wedding traditions. Why do groomsmen dress like the groom? This origin story feeds off the story of the original groomsmen. Back in the Dark Ages, when a wedding party triumphantly returned from capturing a bride from a neighboring village, it was common practice for that scorned village to cast a curse on the new bride and groom. When it came to the wedding day, men and women in the wedding party would dress identical to the bride and groom so they could confuse those pesky evil demons sent from other village. It's never explained if anyone reasoned that the other people in the wedding party should have an equal opportunity of being cursed, but the logic seemed to work and it gave an outstanding cop out excuse if the couple wasn't compatible. Many different cultures have borrowed and manipulated this tradition to make it what we practice today. So you're at the altar, make sure you thank your ghostbusting groomsmen by presenting these Luxe Rectangular Rhodium Cufflinks as stylish groomsmen gifts to ensure your wedding party matches to the slightest detail.

The Origin of the Honeymoon

The hands-down, numero uno, best part of a wedding has got to be leaving for the honeymoon. All the planning is finally freaking over, and most importantly, your awesome groomsmen gifts of the Engraved English Tavern Tankard are in the hands of your best men. Now that it's time for some relaxin', you might start to wonder what the hell moons or honey have to do with during a bride and groom love fest vacation? Well, start watching your step because https://branddepot.com/collections/groomstand is dropping knowledge on our take of all these wacky and zany wedding traditions. The origin of the honeymoon Apparently, a ton of these wedding stories started off with the groom or groomsmen capturing some poor chick from the next town over (to catch up on these origin stories see the Role of the Original Groomsmen). The word honeymoon has roots to the Norse word "hjunottsmanathr". Ok, so I don't know how to pronounce that word, but what I do know is that after the bride was captured, the groomsmen would force the groom and bride (most of the time against her will) to stay in hiding until the bride's family stopped looking for her. In the easiest sense, the word means "hiding". Where does the honey and the moon come in? Another Scandinavian honeymoon tradition says that the bride and groom should slug down this honey wine called mead everyday for an entire month (aka a moon cycle). This mead stuff is sweet and strong, which made it the beverage of choice for Vikings to go three-sheets to the wind. The idea was that mead has unexplainable attributes that increase fertility, but you can imagine after a month of being drunk and horny off this stuff, your little lady is bound to have a bun in the oven. Have some fun with your buddies after your wedding by presenting them personalized wine glasses and share a bottle of mead. If you don't end up pillaging a village, you'll help your friends get one step closer to going on their own honeymoon.
