Gift Ideas for Wedding Ushers
-
-
Wedding ushers are responsible for escorting guests to their seats prior to the ceremony and directing guests out after the ceremony. Groomsmen may double as ushers, in which case they are responsible for walking the bridesmaids down the aisle during the wedding processional as well. An usher plays an important role, meriting a gift from the groom as a token of appreciation.
Accessories
-
Gift ideas for ushers include accessories that can be worn or carried in a pocket on the wedding day and having a practical use beyond the wedding day. Accessories can be personalized for each usher by monogramming his initials into the gift for sentiment. Cuff links can be worn on the day of the wedding and can adorn suit jackets and shirts for everyday fashion. Sports team cuff links are available with team logos and colors.
A silver or gold money clip allows groomsmen to carry and organize bills without the heaviness of a wallet and is a gift that can be used repeatedly. A silver or gold Zippo liter may come in handy for an usher who smokes and is useful while smoking a celebratory cigar with the groom on his wedding day.
Barware
-
Barware is a useful gift for an usher who enjoys indulging in drinking and partying. A silver or gold cigar flask filled with fine cigars, a liquor flask or a metallic beer Koozie can be engraved with an usher's initials. An usher who enjoys wine may appreciate a silver or gold wine cork accompanied by a bottle of his favorite wine or champagne. Or give a fine bottle of liquor to an usher, in addition to a sports mug or shot glass.
Novelty Gifts
-
Presenting an usher with a gift that gives him an opportunity to enjoy a favorite sport or pastime is appropriate. Gift ideas such as sporting event tickets to watch his favorite team are meaningful and can give the ushers and groom another opportunity to get together for a guys' night out after the wedding. Items that support tailgating and barbecuing events such as grilling equipment, cooler bags, cooler seats, sports duffel bags and team jerseys are gift options that incorporate the individual hobbies of each groomsman. Present poker sets and dart boards to an usher who enjoys gaming. Or give ushers a gift certificate, treating them to dinner, a round of golf or a massage.
