As a gesture of gratitude, you should get your groomsmen a gift they’ll love. Whether it’s timeless or rooted in today’s pop culture, the gift should be an expression of your camaraderie through the years.
It’s not always easy trying to pick out the right gift for your friends, especially if they all have different personalities. You want to get them something that the whole group can appreciate but at the same time, doesn’t come off as generic and thoughtless.
Of course, if you’re buying ties and pocket squares for your groomsmen with the hope that they’ll all wear them on your wedding day, you’ll have to coordinate by color. If you’re simply giving out accessories as gifts, allow yourself the freedom of choosing a certain look for each guy.
Fortunately, ties and pocket squares are no longer something to give Dad when you don’t know what else to get him. They come in all sorts of fabrics and styles, and are perfect for any occasion. Match the pattern to their personality or get your friends something to help them break free of their comfort zone. Either way, a gift like this is a surefire victory.
