Gifts for wedding attendants

[suchairman]

Does anyone have recommendations for wedding gifts to give to the male attendants? I was trying to deviate from the traditional money clips and cufflinks. I have a fairly large party (17), so I wanted to have something that''s nice but not extremely expensive and can be used pretty regularly. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!!!

Party

2 Best Men
4 Groomsmen
3 Junior Groomsmen
1 Ring Bearer
1 Broom Carrier
2 Dads
3 Ushers
1 "Other"

My DH gave his groomens and our ushers a set of Mikasa shot glasses (see picture) and a small bottle of their favorite liquor. He got our ring bearer (5 yrs old) a set of lego-type building blocks to add to his collection.

What are the ages of your junior groomsmen? Would they appreciate a gift certificate to somewhere like Best Buy?

I've seen monogrammed pilsner glasses, monogrammed pocket knives, monogrammed credit card cases, and my BFs personal favorite a flask that looks like binoculars so that licquor can be snuck in for a football game.

ETA: and his second favorite a monogrammed hunting shirt.

The junior groomsmen are 12, 18, and i''m not sure about the other but he''s somewhere in that range. That''s a good idea, i hadn''t thought of the gift certificates. Thanks!

Our groomsmen got personalized keychains, dad''s (and mom''s) got a personalized photo frame, and we actually didn''t give our ushers a gift.... smaller wedding, we''re broke, what can I say. We also gave our Maid of Honor and Best Man gift certificates, because they really contributed a lot towards planning the wedding.

DH "knows" a guy on a gaming forum that gave all of his groomsmen an XBox.....

This is what we got our men:

All GM received a 4 piece monogrammed rock glass set and decanter
BM doesnt drink alcohol, so he got a monogrammed set of glasses and a monogrammed humidor (sp?)

they LOVED them

we didnt have any kids in the wedding party.

Does your wedding have a theme? If so, you can get them something related (e.g., sandals for a beach wedding, poker set for a Vegas wedding etc.).
