The best part of wedding planning—aside from actually getting married—is celebrating with your closest friends. And it’s a celebration which is months long, with excitement building over the course of the planning process. Getting to hang out with your future husband and your best friends to plan the best party of your life is great fun, but it can also be kind of stressful! Your pals deserve a token of your appreciation for their hard work.

But why should the ladies have all the fun? Your future spouse’s groomsmen deserve recognition for their commitment, too! When you’re looking for a set of gifts for your own friends, do not forget to invest a bit of time buying some gifts for your man’s friends. Here are some customizable gift ideas for the groomsmen in your wedding so that everyone has something to commemorate your big day.

Tie Clips

Tie clips are easily customizable, cost-effective, and practical to boot! They are small pieces that hold a lot of class. You can give these gifts to the recipients before the big day so that every groomsman has a special, unique token which differentiates them from other wedding guests. When it comes to men’s fashion in weddings, there is an unfortunate lack of variety. This is changing, but a tie clip can help make your groomsmen stand out in the meantime.

Cuff Links

In the same vein as tie clips, cuff links are a meaningful and practical gift that can be customized to the personality of the wearer and beyond. More commonly, you can tailor a really nice set of cufflinks to the color scheme of your wedding. Invest in a really nice, matching set so your groomsmen can actually use it once the special day has come and went. This is a gift that will better fit a more formal affair, so choose accordingly.

Lighter

Lighters are easy to customize, extremely cost-effective, and very durable. A lighter with a special message or, better yet, customized to each user will elicit strong, positive emotions each and every time the recipient goes to light up. That being said, you will want to think carefully about whether your wedding’s groomsmen will all be able to make equal use of it. If you have a reliable group of smokers, this will be a hit. If not, you might want to give this gift more selectively.

Tennis Chain

A tennis chain is a great way to make a statement of just how much you value the friendship your groomsman provides you and your partner. These gifts may be on the flashier side, but that’s what makes them so special! They’re a statement piece, through and through, and they are probably best reserved for the most outstanding of your groomsmen. If you want to really put emphasis on how grateful you are for the duties performed by the groom’s best man, this is the gift you should be reaching for.

Beer Mugs or Whiskey Glasses

Custom beer mugs, whiskey glasses, tumblers, and shot glasses are a fantastic and pragmatic means of showing your appreciation. Just like a custom lighter listed above, a custom drinking vessel is something your groomsman will actually use. Decorative items and accessories can hold a lot of sentimental value. However, something practical will get regular use and elicit great memories of your wedding each and every time it is used.

Dog Tags

Dog tags are another accessory, but they are likely more cost effective than any other listed here. Because they’re often tucked into men’s shirts, they are subtle and therefore more wearable on a day-to-day basis. Dog tags have two sides, so you can have two different messages with completely different tones on either side. For example, one side can have the date of the bachelor party or wedding and the flip side can have an inside joke. Everyone’s dog tags can be matching or they can be customized to each recipient. The possibilities are endless!

Robes

Robes are often relegated to the realm of women’s wedding parties, but bridesmaids and brides shouldn’t be able to hog all the fun!

There are plenty of traditionally masculine robe designs available, but if you find a robe fluffy and warm enough, your hubby’s groomsmen won’t care. You can get a set of robes all monogrammed with the same thing, such as a joke shared between the men. However, if you’re willing to put in some extra time and money, individual names of each groomsman will be perfect. Your spouse’s friends are sure to get a lot of use out of this one.
