Bridesman Gifts

Shannon, on June 30, 2019 at 4:05 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

I have a brideman in my wedding party and am having a difficult time coming up with gifts that can work for my bridesmaids and him. I originally wanted to do the robes for getting ready photos, but he wouldn't be comfortable in one. Has anyone had a bridesman in their party and if so, what kind of gifts/getting ready outfits did you choose?


Thanks!

    We have mixed genders on both sides of our party. Even without mixed genders, I would always recommend shopping for your bridal party as individuals instead of getting the same thing for everyone. This would eliminate the "one size fits all" problem. My bridesman loves whiskey so I'm getting him a personalized flask and etched whiskey glasses. My best friend is a female, but not at all feminine, and is a tattoo artist. I'm getting her a customized leather sketchbook. Each gift will reflect that person's individual hobbies and interests.

    As far as getting ready outfits, we're planning to do coordinating flannel pajama pants and tell everyone to wear a black shirt. That would also work great for a February wedding.

    Something he could wear that day may be a good option- monogrammed tie clip or a fun pair of socks.

    I was a groomsmaid in a friends' wedding and I actually got both sets of gifts. The bride made of her bridesmaids necklaces and she made me one too but in a different color.

    I had a bridesman and I pretty much gave him the male version of whatever I gave my bridesmaids. For instance I got a pack of cute themed socks and for the girls they were all like pink and girly but for my bridesman I got him a pair of black socks that say best man on them.

    I got my bridesman a gym bag, a flask, and a beer bottle opener, all personalized. I got my girls pashminas, personalized necklaces, and a jewelry dish. I will probably also get my moh a restaurant gift card. The gifts aren’t related, just things I thought they would like.
