Who says your groomsmen gift has to be something tangible? Nobody, so why feel compelled to give something they can hold. Why not give them an experience instead?

Groomsmen Gift Experiences

Sporting events make for great times if your guys are into sports. Professional sports like the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL are all great options that come with a hefty price tag and you need to live in a city with a professional team. If funds are an issue or you don’t live in a city with a professional team then try the minor leagues. Minor league baseball and hockey are often just as fun as the big leagues at a fraction of the cost. Not only does it cost less but you are likely to have better seats because the teams play in smaller stadiums.

Staying with the sports theme but taking a little more active role, a round of golf is a great way to spend time together, make memories, and have fun. Shared activities like golf are conducive to sparking conversations between members of your wedding party that may not know each other or give people the chance to reminisce about times long gone.

Most cities now offer some form of a pub crawl or have micro-breweries that offer tours. These are perfect opportunities to sit down with your wedding party and enjoy a cold one. A beer festival is also a possibility if planned out far enough in advance.

Camping trips are a great way to take a break from the every day with your wedding party. Pitching tents and reconnecting with wilderness and your friends can be a memorable experience. If your groomsmen have higher standards than camping can provide consider stepping up your game to glorified camping or glamping. Rent a nice cabin and experience nature without giving up the conveniences of modern life.

Everyone likes to be treated well and your groomsmen are no different. The bride’s wedding party could definitely go for a spa day so why not the men? Your groomsmen may object to the idea of going to a spa with other guys but everyone could use a facial and a massage. Both will have your groomsmen relaxed and looking good for your wedding. Not to mention, going to a spa with other guys could be a bonding experience.

Maybe the experience shouldn’t include you at all. If all of your groomsmen are married or have serious significant others why not give them a date night at a nice restaurant. Not a bad idea to get on the good side of everyone’s significant other and they will definitely hold you in a different light after providing them with a night on the town.

The beauty of a personalized baseball bat or football won’t resonate with everyone. In that case, you can get your groomsmen their own personalized pilsner glass. Every time they take a drink of their favorite beer from their new favorite drinking glass they will think of you.

Depending on the wedding attire you chose these cufflinks can even be used for your wedding. It’s especially great if everyone has a different favorite superhero but if not, you can get all the same cufflink so nobody is jealous they aren’t Batman.
