✨Let’s talk about Groomsmen Gifting ✨

While you might have a million ideas for your bridal party, your soon-to-be hubby may not have given it a fleeting thought! That’s okay, let’s help them out…

We suggest being practical in all gifting; while having “bridesmaid” or “groomsman” on a gift may be perfect for your special day, they will probably never use it again.

A few of our favorite Groomsman Gifts:
- Bow Ties or Suspenders
- Groom’s Favorite Cigar
- Cigar Cutter / Book of Matches
- Whiskey Stones and Ball Glass set
- Their favorite sport’s team cap
- Toiletry Bag (they think they don’t need it, seriously… they will use it any time they travel)
