What to do for groomsmen when you're eloping

M, on June 23, 2019 at 8:03 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
My fiance and I are secretly eloping but he wants to honor the men he would have chosen as groomsmen when we return. What are some good ideas that you can personalize?

    Are you thinking personalizes gifts? I would plan a get together rather than a gift. For my FH and his friends something like getting tickets to a baseball game or going on a brewery tour would interest them. I understand the desire to honor the people he would have asked, but I think it’s more appropriate to ask them out to celebrate rather than buy them something. Are you having a reception or party of any kind with family and friends after you elope?

    I live the idea of experiences, too. Movie, concert or sports tickets, a sport outing, bar crawl with the first round on your FH.

    I really like this idea! I wasn't a fan of a gift because it is so impersonal and unlike the traditional situation when you have a wedding a gift is to thank them, show your appreciation and in ways return the funds that the groomsmen would have spent on tux rentals, hotels, hosting parties etc. which wont be a factor. I think it's a great idea for the guys to get together. Thank you!

    Hey!!

    This is such a sweet idea! I love that he still wants to honor them and let them know that they mean so much to him!!

    I think that planning a get-together or an activity for them to enjoy together would be a great way to let them know how important they are to him.

    Is there anything that they love doing together when they get the chance? Like watching a game at a bar or something like that?
