Wacky Groomsmen Gifts Your Friends Will Love

While many etiquette experts may think that weddings aren’t a time for gag groomsmens gifts, it really depends on the people involved. Many couples don’t take themselves too seriously, and so they may find it fun to give funny or gag gifts to their friends who know their sense of humor. Bridesmaids, groomsmen, even the parents of the couple may need a break from all the seriousness and just have a laugh at these gifts. So, if you’re looking for some groomsmens gifts to give, why not take a look at these ideas:

If you’re just with “the boys” (like at the bachelor’s party), you can be more flexible as to the nature of your gift – they can be a bit more risqué and ribald, like t-shirts with naughty sayings, some blow-up “friends” or some body part-shaped favors. T-shirts with funny slogans (purely for the bachelor’s party) are fun gag gifts too, and can make your party even better.

Of course, there’s other funny gifts that don’t have to be so suggestive. Personalized bobbleheads are always fun and can be made in the likeness of anyone in your party. If you’re into sports, some personalized jerseys, bats, balls, hats, etc can make great groomsmens gifts. If your friends like to drink, alcohol related items, like beer mugs, pub signs, shot glasses are also fun to give (and receive.) Whatever you choose, you can keep it light and funny – save the serious stuff for the ceremony (then you can party at the reception!)
