Alright, let’s talk about this groom and groomsmen stuff. You know, weddings, they ain’t just about the bride. The groom, he’s got his crew too, and they gotta look sharp and get thanked right.
First off, the suits. Them boys gotta match, or at least look like they belong together. The groom, he picks it out. Maybe it’s fancy suits, maybe just nice pants and shirts. Sometimes they rent ‘em, sometimes they buy ‘em. If the groom’s feeling generous, he might let ‘em wear their own stuff, saves a bit of money, you know? But they gotta look good, standing up there with the groom.
Now, about gifts. Folks always askin’, “Do the groomsmen give the groom a gift?” Well, not really. That ain’t their job. They’re there to help the groom, not buy him stuff. If they wanna give something, maybe a little somethin’ for the couple, that’s fine. But it ain’t expected, you hear?
But the groom, he’s gotta give his boys somethin’. Can’t just expect them to show up and do all that work for nothin’. It’s a thank you, see? A way of sayin’, “I appreciate you standin’ up there with me.”
- Think about what them boys like. Don’t just buy any old thing. If they like to drink, maybe some nice whiskey glasses or somethin’. If they’re stylish, maybe some fancy sunglasses. I heard them Ray-Ban things are real popular with the young fellas. Or those cool socks, the ones with the funny patterns. My grandson, he loves them crazy socks.
- You can get ‘em personalized stuff too. Like a watch with their names on it, or a flask with their initials. Makes it special, you know? Shows you put some thought into it. There are these gift box sets too, all kinds of things inside, like little knives, keychains, stuff like that. Makes it easy, everything’s already put together.
- Don’t wait till the wedding day to give the gifts. I mean, you could, but it’s kinda awkward. Imagine the groom handin’ out gifts during the speeches. No good. Best to do it the night before, maybe at a dinner or somethin’. Or after the rehearsal. Keep it small and personal.
And listen, it ain’t about how much money you spend. It’s about showin’ your appreciation. A thoughtful gift, even if it’s small, means a lot more than some expensive thing that nobody really wants. Remember, these are your friends, your brothers, the guys who are there for you. Treat ‘em right.
So, yeah, that’s the lowdown on the groom and his groomsmen. Get ‘em lookin’ good, give ‘em a nice gift, and thank ‘em for bein’ there. That’s all there is to it. Now go on, get hitched and have a good time!
And one more thing, don’t go stressin’ too much about it. It’s supposed to be a happy day. If somethin’ goes wrong, just laugh it off. That’s what life’s all about, ain’t it?
So there you have it, plain and simple, just like I told it to my own boy when he got married. Just common sense, really.
