I got my best man a Camelbak. Not very wedding-ey, but it was August, so he needed it.

Nothing, I had no wedding party. My gift to my friend that showed up was an afternoon by the pool drinking and hanging out and dinner at Nobu. You should really elope. (is that how you spell that word?)

I gave them all watches. I have received - a monogramed flask, a monogramed beer stine, a Taylor Made Driver and a Ping Golf bag. I was the best man at the last 2.

My friend's husband got his party cool beer glasses with the flag (or crest or something) of the country of their heritage and their last names on them. They looked pretty cool... too bad he's an idiot. :rolleyes:

I got one of them an EMS gift card (he camps a lot). I got another guy a Swiss Army knife. I had two other ushers and my best man and I can't remember what I got them.

I gave one of my bestmen a Dukes of Hazard watch that I found at the dump and an autographed publicity shot of the entire cast that I found on ebay. That sounds pretty odd I know, but when we were little kids growing up we watched the Duke boys together every Friday night religiously. It was actually a pretty thoughtful gift.

My other bestman, I gave this insane Russian whitewater rafting video. These guys had to make everything by hand because they couldn't buy it in Russia then they ran Class V+ rapids in the middle of nowhere Siberia. At some point during the movie they all got drunk, naked and started flogging themselves with branches. It's pretty freaking hilarious. Anyway, my buddy is a die hard whitewater boater and a bit of a freak himself so I thought he'd get a kick out of it.

Thats what I wanted to do for my guys... but... I'm like totally out of creativity.

We had our wedding out on a double-decker boat at the beach here in NC. We all wore flowery shirts and linen shorts. I bought the guys their outfits. That's pretty much it. Since our wedding was held 3 hours away from where we live, we just asked that the guests bring themselves and not worry about giving us a wedding gift or anything like that. Just a big-assed party that we threw for our closest friends and family. It was awesome.

I gave them Multi-tools engraved w/ their initials and a 6 pack of the best beer I ever brewed.... damn I wish I'd kept that beer.

One wedding I was in, the groom gave us engraved money clips w/ Mariner's tickets in them. That was cool, we all went to a game together after they got back from their honeymoon.

Bs were made available after the rehearsal dinner, when my boys got their flasks...which were unfilled. A 9oz flask full of hash oil would have certainly done the trick, but I was not so blessed with supply as to be able to do that. :evil:

That's what I got for my groomsmen, except they weren't monogrammed. They did however contain a 12 year old single malt scotch. :drool: I also gave them matching pairs of sunglasses, since the wedding was at the beach, and a sterling silver penannular brooch since they both play the medieval game with me.


All in all, I'd say they made out like bandits.

Hell yeah! I would have loved one of those too :evil:

We got our party non-traditional things (all were into biking/hunting etc. so we went with their likes and got them things along those lines). Earl has received an engraved beer stein, good bottle of bourbon, etc.
