Groovy Groomsmen Gifts

How much should I spend on groomsmen gifts?

Most grooms spend $40-$70 per groomsman, depending on the size of the wedding party. Smaller parties of 4-5 guys typically spend $60-70 per person; larger parties of 8 or more land closer to $40-50. A useful rule of thumb is to budget about 2% of your total wedding budget for groomsmen gifts. For an average wedding, that often works out to $75-100 per person across the party. Across the 100,000+ groomsmen orders we've shipped, the average full wedding-party order totals about $275. Whatever you land on, keep it consistent across the group.

Expedited shipping options are also available at checkout.If your wedding is less than two weeks away, email us your order number and event date and we'll prioritize production and often upgrade your shipping at our cost to make sure it arrives on time.

Should the best man get a different gift?

The best man traditionally has an elevated role, so a slightly more personal gift makes sense, but keep it close in spirit to what the rest of the party receives. A premium engraved decanter set instead of a matching flask, for example, lands well. A $100 gift box when everyone else gets a $20 keychain creates awkward energy. If you want to do something extra-personal for your best man, the best move is to handle that gift privately, outside the group moment.

When should I give my groomsmen gifts?

The rehearsal dinner is the most traditional moment. It's a private, sentimental setting where a heartfelt gift lands well and you have everyone together. Other popular timings include the bachelor party, the morning of the wedding while you're getting ready, or as part of the proposal box itself when you first ask each guy to be in your wedding. Pick the moment that fits your wedding and your friendships. There's no wrong answer.
