Re: What did you get the Groomsmen???

Okay I'm going to be flat out honest. My guys either make to much for us to give them something they would really like or simply have no use for most traditional gifts. So I figured why not give them an affordable gift that they will all love, a stripper! Yup we're throwing an after party for the groomsmen with beer and a stripper. Hey $300 for 6 groomsmen I say I found a good deal!

I think that is a GREAT idea! Most of my guys would have appreciated the stripper more than the watches we got them!!!!

We gave the groomsmen gift certificates to Sunglass Hut.

They all loved it. Actually two of our guys went to Roosevelt Field the morning of our wedding and used it. It was a big hit.

We got them leather flasks and money clips, very traditional.

I think FI is getting some of them beer of the month subscriptions for a few months and others nice bottles of scotch. He was thinking of getting them drivers since most of them play golf, but the nice ones are really expensive and he didn't want to get them bad ones.

We got them Swiss army knives. We only had 2 & we knew one didn't have 1 & teh othe rgot his taken by airport security, so we knew at least 1 of them would like it.

What an excellent idea!!! What amount would be sufficient? I don't want to be too cheap!

Re: What did you get the Groomsmen???

They will all be getting different gifts. Best Man's gift will be from Tiffany, one GM will be getting a monogramed leather excursion case, another a cigar sampler and monogramed cutter, etc. etc.

Re: What did you get the Groomsmen???

Sorry it's been so long....
In response to the amount I think we gave either $75 or $100. I think it was $75. DH came up with that because he is really into sunglasses and most guys would use that gift :)

I love that idea but is the after party right after the wedding? Is your FH going? If so, what will you be doing after the wedding? Just curious, but I think that is an awesome idea.
