I gave out these, framed with an individual photo of each guy so it looked like the old team photos you got back in little league. Huge hit.


And I asked you who did them and you were no help. So my guys got watches. You dick.

I'm sorry, Justin, but that bat looks way too big for you. There is no way you'd be able to swing it consistently.

What? Anyone that ever asked me about it I responded to, as far as I know. I know I got PMs from at least a handful of people.

A friend of mine did something different. He took all of the groomsmen out to a high end barber, men's spa type place. They also got something small, maybe some engraved golf ball markers or money clips...can't remember.

This is a great idea. Take 'em to get a hot shave and a haircut the morning of the wedding.

Justin - That's a pretty awesome idea. I haven't seen that before.

I've gotten the usual stuff for weddings that I've been in: shot glass, flask, cuff links, knife

My buddy has been in two weddings. For the first, each of the groomsmen got a nice pair of Oakleys. The second, each got a personalized Louisville Slugger. I think both of those ideas are bad ass!

My personal favorite of the ones I have seen is the drawing that my brother received a few years ago. Similar to the one Justin had done, but each guy was drawn wearing something different.

If I was a groomsmen and the groom told me we were goin for a hot shave and haircut, he'd get kicked in the sack.

I'd appreciate that WAAAAY more than a flask or money clip or anything else. In fact, I'm going to demand it the next wedding I'm in.

I gave my guys personalized Louisville Sluggers. They seemed to like them.

It's a hell of a lot better than some cheeseball gift that's been done a million times. Go to the barber, get fresh, have some scotch and laughs.

Yeah I found a place in Columbus that does it and they have a patio where you can bring beverages and smoke cigars.

I got a humidor when my daughter got married. It has their names and the date in it. Bad thing is they are now divorced and I have to get something to cover it up.

My sister is divorced. They didn't initial/date anything so the knife is still in use and my dad still uses the 1911 my ex brother-in-law got him.

I've never been a groomsman. I'm one of the first of my group of friends to get married though.

Why get them all the same thing? I got all my groomsmen something different. One of my guys had been in like 4 weddings and already had 3 flasks, so I didn't get him a flask. I got him some personalized rocks glasses.

2 of my guys didn't have flasks so I got them personalized flasks.

One of my guys smokes...a lot of things and is a huge Lions fans so I got him a Lions zippo lighter and then got his initials engraved on the back.

The other guy is a big Twins fan, so I got him one of the personalized Louisville Sluggers Twins style. Takes more thought to do it this way but you can help avoid getting people shit they don't want or won't use.
