Wedding Party Gifts?

[Tenbatsuzen]

<p>As I'm getting closer to my wedding, I've started shopping for gifts for my wedding party.&nbsp; I've made a couple of decisions about what I'm getting for them, but I wanted to throw it out there and see if you guys had any ideas.&nbsp; I'm not really too enthused about getting them shot glasses or beer steins or the typicals &quot;things remembered&quot; stuff.</p><p>One of my groomsmen is a big sports fan (Yankees, Dolphins)&nbsp;and is moving into a new fixer-upper a month before the wedding, one is a big movies fan, and my best man is a big racing fan.&nbsp; As I said, I already made some decisions based on these themes, but I'm looking for enhancement gifts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any suggestions would be awesome... thanks!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Buy&nbsp;a top of the line hammer and get&nbsp;it engraved for the new homeowner.&nbsp; Get movie guy a lifetime Netflix subscription.</p><p>No idea what to do for racing guy.</p>

make mix tapes for everyone.

<p>Another idea was getting all my groomsmen nice rolex watches, while my best man gets a framed, autographed poster-sized picture of me.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

I think a sub 100 dollar watch is a really nice idea, and you can def find a LOT of nice ones. you can get 3 different ones and let them pick, or get 3 identical ones.

<p>Although the &quot;nice day out&quot; is a really cool idea and one I was considering, it's hard to organize that because the Best Man doesn't live in the local area, and the other groomsmen work on the weekends and one is under a constant deadline.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was thinking of taking them out individually over the summer... or something.</p>

<p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="3" color="#ff00ff">Ten,</font></p><p><font face="Comic Sans MS" size="3" color="#ff00ff">For Christmas one year, I gave my hubby a great racing gift. He got to drive a Nascar car at Dover Downs for about 10 laps. They gave him a few more than 10 and he LOVED it. It cost me about $250. There are some packages that are $1000+ but the one at Dover was cheap and well worth it. Might make a good gift for your best man.</font></p>

I was a groomsman last June for an old friend of mine.&nbsp; He gave out black I-pods that were engraved to all the guys.&nbsp; The girls got white ones.&nbsp; If you order online through the apple store the engraving is painless.&nbsp; I've used it a lot and probaly would not have bought one for myself.

[Chip196]

I got my guys a Dual Picture frame ... when they opened the box it had an old &quot;classic&quot; photo of me and that specific groomsman.&nbsp; The other frame was left empty to house a picture of us in our tuxes from the wedding.

[badorties]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>i got each of them a different, framed classic guinness print ...</p>

[drusilla]

a couple of years ago my boyfriend was in a wedding party &amp; all the groomsmen were given a ticket to see the who at pnc for a boys night out.&nbsp; i guess it was a good idea, but not everyone was able to make it that night &amp; some (my boyfriend included) were not the biggest fans (or fans at all).&nbsp;&nbsp; since one of the groomsmen had an extra ticket i somehow wound up with it. we only stayed for a little while &amp; it turned out to not be such a bad night, even though it had rained all day &amp; the ground was wet so we coudlnt even sit down anywhere.&nbsp;&nbsp;
