Hi Jasmine,

My fiance is having a bachelor party and we want to give his buddies a small token of appreciation with personalized groomsmen gifts. Our problem is we are college students on a strict budget. Do you have any ideas what we could give for less than $20? Please don’t suggest cufflinks as these are not the type of guys who would wear them. Thanks Tanya

Hi Tanya,

Congratulations on your engagement! I think a personalized bottle opener or keychain would be great gifts as they are relatively inexpensive and something the guys can use in the future.

Engraved Dog Tag Keychain Bottle Opener

Keychains and bottle openers don’t have to be boring. I found some unique keychains that double as bottle openers on a site called Pop Tag. This company will hand-engrave up to four lines of text so you can personalize each gift.

Or how about a fun Dog Collar ID Bottle Opener. This would be a one-of-a-kind gift for the guy who loves his dog. Plus for every dog tag sold PopTag donates $1 to a local SPCA shelter to help find homes for future best friends.

Bottle openers come in all sorts of styles. You can go for the whimsical to the more tradtional like this stainless steel tradtional opener.

Cufflinks Don’t Have to Be Boring

Deciding on the perfect gift to give the best man or groomsmen at the time of your wedding can be a tricky task; fortunately the answer is simple - a pair of stylish cufflinks.

Practically every man wears cufflinks at some point during the year, and for this reason they are undoubtedly one of the most appreciated gifts you can give. Cufflinks can really set off any formal outfit, whether in the business environment or for a special occasion such as a wedding.. Nothing adds that final bit of sophistication, class and sense of importance quite like a pair of designer cufflinks. You could even say that cufflinks are for men what diamond earrings are for ladies.

Because of the worldwide use of cufflinks in all sorts of circumstances, the range and variety of cufflinks on the market is incredible. Cufflinks can be purchased in just about every imaginable color, style, material and size. In fact, it is even possible to order completely unique engraved cufflinks etched with a message or monogrammed with the man’s initials. There is no doubt that it is possible to find the perfect cufflinks for any groomsman or best man, however because of the massive choice on offer it can prove to be a challenge for even the best shopper!

Here are some top tips to help you choose the ideal cufflinks to give as a best man’s or groomsmen’s gift:

Pick cufflinks which are affordable, not cheap - Remember, the wedding is a once in a lifetime special occasion and your groomsman surely deserves some cufflinks of a decent quality. That doesn’t mean you have to blow the budget completely but silver and chrome metal cufflinks are normally great quality and make an excellent choice.

Pick cufflinks to suit the outfit - If you are intending that the cufflinks will be worn as wedding accessories for men then of course they need to be suited to the chosen outfit. A good tip is to make sure the color of the tie will compliment the chosen cufflinks. Also bare in mind that your groomsman will want to enjoy the cufflinks for years to come, so choose a style and design of cufflink which will be suitable for most occasions and that will have good versatility.

Pick cufflinks which are suitable for various occasions - If your best man works in a business environment then it might be best to choose cufflinks that are quite understated and formal. Going for something quite simple in design will be a safe choice and will ensure that the cufflinks are enjoyed for many years even as fashions change. If, on the other hand, your friend likes to be the center of attention and has a more exuberant sense of style then you it could be appropriate to choose a more unusually designed pair of cufflinks.
