Apathy Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm getting married on July 3rd and I need some groomsman gift ideas. I have 5 groomsman that are Husker fans, 1 groomsman thats an Iowa State/New England Patriots fan, and 1 usher thats a Husker fan and 1 usher that is more interested in video games than sports. I thought about getting flasks with their favorite team on it but it seems that everybody gets their groomsman flask wont even use it after the wedding. Does anybody have any ideas?

That was our original date! We moved it back to July 17th though...Good topic, I'm interested in the replies as well. One of my groomsmen who already got married gave everyone flasks with our college nicknames on it, so that's out. I still use mine though. Three of the groomsman were my roommates at Clemson for 4 years, one's my brother in law who accompanies my sister, my fiance (future wife) and I to all Clemson home games, and the other is my father, who is my Best Man, who is a Clemson grad. Part of their gift is the orange ties that they are to wear for the wedding, and also to keep. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I was a groomsman last summer and the groom got us all black on black adidas allstars to wear during the wedding. I loved it. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 In the wedding I was in last year I got a Husker watch. Everyone else got a watch from their favorite team. You can get them from Amazon. LINK Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's a list with some good ideas. I don't know how outdoorsy you and your groomsmen are but I really like the flint, steel, and tinder kit. http://artofmanliness.com/2008/09/18/thinking-outside-the-flask-10-groomsmen-gift-ideas/ Quote Link to comment

Almost all of my buddies have had their dad's as their best man. I would have it no other way though. There isn't a man that I look up to and want to be like more than my father, he is the most level-headed person I've ever met. Quote Link to comment
sd'sker Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 i gave glass beer mugs (pilsners) with their names on it and then a six pack of their favorite beer. but the watch idea is pretty sweet, and i loved the adidas idea. i would give old school chuck taylors though, they have a whole assortment of colors and styles.

Bradr Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 You can't go wrong with the engraved drinkware. I got mine glass German beer boots with the "In the Deed the Glory" quote engraved on the side, along with everyone's nickname. A little pricey though. Quote Link to comment
