Low Cost Gifts for Groomsmen
Your groomsmen represent your closest and most trusted friends. Throughout the wedding festivities, groomsmen help with last minute details and encourage you to take deep breaths before the ceremony. As the groom, you traditionally give your groomsmen a token gift of gratitude for their participation in your wedding. Groomsmen gifts need not be expensive, but should be thoughtful and meaningful.

Cufflinks
-
Cufflinks are a traditional and potentially affordable groomsmen gift. Purchase basic circle or square shaped silver cuff links in stainless steel instead of silver to make them less expensive. Have each groomsman's cufflinks monogrammed with his initials for an added touch of elegance. Present the gift at the rehearsal dinner so your friends can wear the cuff links during the wedding ceremony.
Personalized Beer Mug
-
A sturdy glass mug, laser etched with the groomsman's name is a practical and touching gift that won't cost hundreds of dollars. Select from a variety of mug sizes and shapes based on your personal preference. Thick glass mugs keep beverages the coldest, so choose a sufficiently thick design that will last for years. Order your personalized mugs online at any wedding gift website or store. Avoid personalizing the mugs with painted names instead of laser etching, which can peel and fade in a few years.

Money Clip
-
A personalized money clip made of stainless steel or gun metal is a classic gift that your groomsmen can use for years. Even if he's always been a "wallet kind of guy," a monogrammed money clip is something every adult man should own. Personalize each groomsman's name by monogramming his initials on flat side of the clip. Avoid engraving nicknames or other initials from his youth that he may no longer use.
Personalized Key Chain
-
A personalized key chain adds elegance and maturity to any key ring. Reduce the price by choosing a key chain made from nickel plated zinc alloy or stainless steel instead of silver. Choose from rectangle, oval or circle shaped key chains and have each groomsman's name or initials monogrammed across the flat surface. Determine the size and styling of the engraved letters before ordering by viewing sample engraved key chains.
