Btw congrats to Mark Billiards and Jimbo's Drinker!

Has your day come and gone? I knew it was this summer... I guess so if you're referring to the past on your gifts... congrats as well.

RUN!!!!!!!

 

I think that's one thing we can agree on no matter what political slant you have.

 

Seriously, congrats ahead of time.

Thank you sir.

Going back down under for a Wedding in October as a Groomsmen. Hoping for something good (cue the boomerang and digeri-doo jokes).

BTW I totally forgot to mention that I purchased an extra gift for my best man for throwing a kick ass bachelor party.

Tell me what you guys think.

 

I was thinking for the groomsmen(5 of them) I would get them a replica T-shirt jersey of their favorite players.

 

The 2 best men, I would get them jerseys of their favorite teams.

Two best men? Seems kind of weird... kind of, well, neither is the best man then.

 

Anyhoo, I like the idea.

I guess that means you are the entertainment for the bachelorette party?

Yeah, they have been my closest friends since grade school. I could not choose one nor the other.

I'd love that as a gift so I imagine a dude would also.

Monogramed silk boxers.

A nice pen might also be a good gift. You aren't going to get a Mont Blanc for $50 but I'm there would be something nice in that range? BTW, is the old Cross pen set still around or is that totally outdated?

I've been a groomsman seven times, and only received a few gifts that I have used in any way. I have a money clip, a flask, a couple of monogrammed steins, and a few other things I don't recall. When my brother got married he gave us all a pair of Chuck Taylors that we all wore to the reception. The groomsmen wore black - groom wore green. The rest of the stuff sits in drawers or holds pens. One of the steins is actually quite nice, though it's never used. The groom got each of us a stein with our nationality on it. Mine has a shamrock and says Ireland (for example). I had another guy give me Blu Blockers as a gag - in addition to a monogrammed gym bag. I also received a mini-Bears helmet one time (there was another small gift as well). On second thought, I've received some pretty good stuff.

 

I like the idea of going to a Sox game with the groomsmen, but it's only good if everyone can make it. However, you have to do it big. See if you can get a suite. Regular seats won't do. It has to be special or it's just another game. Whatever you do, don't be cheap. If you can't afford to do it up big, don't do the game. I know the wedding is a big expense, but you'll remember that game forever. And think of how much your wife to be is wasting on flowers and center pieces and get a little selfish.

 

If you're going to go with one of the less expensive options - I like the Jersey option. I don't think I would differentiate between the groomsmen and best men, though.
