Re: bridal party gifts ... any ideas?

Are they drinkers? One of the first things FH mentioned for the guys was an expensive bottle of liquor and a glass set to go with it. If you want to get personal, you could take the glasses over to Things Remembered and have their names etched in.

Re: bridal party gifts ... any ideas?

You have about a year to go, so start looking at various wedding websites for ideas. Also, look through the website thingsremembered.com...might give you some ideas.

are the guys into sports or cars or have other hobbies? What about cufflinks, watches or beer mugs?

Re: bridal party gifts ... any ideas?

we decided to go with something that we think that the guys would use quite often and not just put in a cupboard and have it sit there...we got them all coach key rings and they loved them and most are still using them

Re: bridal party gifts ... any ideas?

our guys arent drinkers or business type poeple. they are poker players.. so we are buying them all a nice pair of sunglasses and fh will treat them to a poker tournamnet buy in in AC or foxwoods.


the sunglasses will be for the tournamnet ( they can look all serious) and they will wear them on the wedidng day for pix... i want one with all the guys in sunglasses with their arms crossed!!

Re: bridal party gifts ... any ideas?

Well, you don't have to get all of the guys the same gift. If they all have different personalities, tap into that personality and get something they will really appreciate. For example, if there are any big Yankees fans, you can get them 2 tickets to a game (or a jersey). If he is a big drinker, you could get a nice bottle of _____, and maybe a glass etched with their first initial.
