Groomsmen Gifts that Never Go Out of Style

In the words of Heidi Klum, one minute you're in and the next .... you're out. We live in an age of ever-changing fashion. After our post on bad tux trends, it has become frighteningly apparent that some guys don't care how they look on their wedding day. Stay away from the trends and choose a classic tux with some refined accessories for men. That means no cowboy boots, no kilts, and definitely no faux hawks. Here are groomsmen gifts that never go out of style. Engraved Cufflinks: Groomsmen Gifts for Gentlemen Most ladies don't understand our need for cufflinks. "What do they do?" your fiance asks, perplexed. "Well, they hold the cuffs together." Actually ladies, like watches, cufflinks are the male version of jewelry. Cufflinks give us that dignified mystique we've longed for ever since puberty. These engraved square cufflinks are edgy (literally), while these rodium round cufflinks give a classic touch to his cuffs. Money Clips: Timeless Groomsmen Gifts Even before paper money, men bartered with commodities like tea, salt, cattle, and clams. Guys also used their loot to attract a mate. The first pick up line: "Hey baby. I got six cows and a bag of tea. Want to roll with me?" This art form money clip strikes a perfect balance of fine art and flash for your sauve-in-the-city groomsmen. And this personalized golf money clip makes a fine groomsmen gift for fashionable golfers. And no, "fashionable golfer" is not an oxymoron. Shaving Sets: Get Rid of the Griz Dated facial hair is worse than the ruffle tux. Just think about your parent's wedding photos. In the 60's and 70's, most of our fathers resembled Charles Manson, only grizzlier. Get rid of the goatee, shave the beard, and don't even think about growing a handlebar mustache. For your wedding, baby face is best. Give your groomsmen the subtle hint to trim up with grooming accessories. Unless your groomsmen don't practice good hygiene, they'll use these groomsmen gifts everyday. Wedding photos don't fade. Be a gallant groom, not a goon or a buffoon (can't ...stop....rhyming).

Groomsmen Gifts in HD: Where do you stand on Webcam Weddings?

Marriage is a time-tried tradition that has lots of baggage to go with it, namely a ceremony to consummate the relationship in the eyes of the couples' friends and family. They are lovely occasions that have an amazing atmosphere, that of two people promising their lives to each other. Being there for that moment is equally as moving, but in this day and age of technology what really is attendance? You are now able to webcast your weddings for guests that are unable to attend. The problem with that is how much does it really show you care for the couple that invited you to share in what might be the happiest day they'll ever have? In the past couples have distributed wedding videos after the fact and those, though fun to watch, obviously don't hold the same emotions and atmosphere as the wedding itself. So how is watching a live digital wedding better? And is it rude to not go and just watch the cast when it costs the couple hundreds more? We'd like some feedback on this, where do you stand?

Groomsmen Gifts Are For Afterwards

Here's a nice little pre-ceremony story involving a bride walking with her father as he gives her a quick little rundown of what's been happening while she was getting ready. Apparently her soon-to-be-husband's father, also the best man, had lost her ring. He put ring on his pinkie finger, thinking it was the safest place to keep it until it was time to hand it over to his son. Apparently this was a horrible plan as he ended up losing the ring. Now we can only speculate what caused him to lose the ring on the wedding day, so here are some speculations. First the facts: he's the best man so he'll be getting a gift along with all the other groomsmen. He's older and wiser so we probably wouldn't be amiss to say he'd be down for a nice game of chess. That's it! Our speculation has given us an answer. He was playing with his groomsman gift before the ceremony! But this isn't just any gift, it's a chess set...with shot glasses as the chess pieces. There we go, we solved it. Maybe next time dad just needs to wait till after the ceremony before he uses his awesome new chess set. Oh, by the way, the bride's mother found the ring in the hallway on her own way to the ceremony.

Groomsmen Duties in Detail (And Groomsmen Gifts to say Thanks)

Every groom knows he has to get groomsmen gifts, but why? Beside planning the bachelor party (which we all know is easy and fun), what do groomsmen do? Here is a full list of groomsmen duties. Hand your groomsmen this list and if they don't check it off (twice), no groomsmen gifts for them! In all seriousness, good groomsmen are essential to your wedding. Here's a full list of groomsmen duties. Groomsmen and Best Man Duties: Gets fitted for tux, usually, a couple months before the wedding. Note: he has to wear whatever you say. Get him engraved cufflinks if you want to "class" it up a little. Helps the groom run those endless wedding errands on the ever-growing checklist. Runs to the store for things like organza ribbon and invitation paper. Helps plan the bachelor party and set up the rehearsal dinner. This can take weeks. If he does a good job, pick him out some special groomsmen gifts. If he does a bad job, retaliate when you're the best man at his wedding. If he's the best man, he'll have to prepare the perfect toast. This is the most nerve-racking groomsmen duty. A drink can help settle his nerves but no more than one! Warms your cold feet. If at anytime you utter the words: "I can't do this," expect some words of encouragement from him. If he doesn't give you any, he doesn't like your fiancee. Greets guests at the ceremony. He has to be gallant and gentlemanly (at least, until the reception). Note: During this time, he shouldn't point out your grandma's bird hat or the annoying flower girl to other guests. Dances with bridesmaids at the reception. He should take this duty in stride, even if he claims he can't dance. At the end of the reception he helps clean up the mess and makes sure there's no one passed out in the bathroom. Picks up the groom's tux. If it doesn't fit the groom, he goes back to the tux shop and yells at the owner. Returns your tux. Remembers to go through the pockets and put the bow-tie back. Takes care of all your wedding emergencies. If you break down, he's changing the tire. Your best man holds the rings and makes absolutely sure that he has them on your wedding day. Groomsmen can make or break your wedding. Say thanks with heartfelt groomsmen gifts from GroomStand.com!
