Frequently asked questions about groom wedding gifts
What should a bride get their groom for a wedding gift?
Giving your groom a wedding gift a few weeks – or even a day – before the wedding day is an exciting and sentimental gesture. Because you know him better than anyone else, you’re the authority on what a perfect gift for him would be. Some things you can consider when finding a wedding gift for your groom includes:
- What might he want or need in the lead up to the wedding that he might not have treated himself to?
- What is an activity or hobby he’s been craving but has potentially put on hold due to wedding plans?
- What is something he’s been longing to do with you before the wedding?
- What is an item of clothing or accessory that he loves but hasn’t purchased for himself?
Is a wedding gift from groom to bride given?
Yes. Just as you might want to further show your love and commitment to him, he also likely wants to surprise and spoil you too! Whilst you’re planning to surprise him before the big day, you could let him know that you’re planning to gift him something small so he isn’t empty-handed and has time to spoil you also!
What are some good groom gifts ideas from the mother of the groom?
As the mother of the groom, you get to experience this exciting time in your son’s life, where he begins a family of his own with the bride-to-be. A small gift to the groom to show how proud and excited you are for him is always a special gesture. Some ideas for a groom gift from the mother of the groom can include:
- Photos of the family over the years, including when you and the groom’s father had their wedding.
- A sentimental hand-me-down, like his father’s or grandfather’s wristwatch
- A gift card to enjoy a special holiday or experience together as an extended family after the wedding.
Does a best man get a gift for the groom?
Often, the best man will choose to surprise the groom or couple with a small gift. As the best man, he will likely know the groom well and can give something specific to their relationship, including a handwritten letter and a small gift to say congratulations. It's also customary for the best man to give a gift that both the bride and groom can enjoy. Often, a gift like a Prezzee eGift Card is a popular choice as it allows the couple to choose exactly how to use their gift together.
Do groomsmen get gifts for the groom?
Whilst it’s not a traditional expectation, giving a gift to the groom as a groom’s party or an individual groomsman is a thoughtful and sentimental gesture. If the gift is given as a group, this can allow for a larger congratulatory gift like a luxury gift card. Or, if given from an individual groomsman, a bottle of their favourite liquor or a small hamper is an equally perfect groom’s gift.
Does the groom buy gifts for the groomsmen?
It is customary for the groom to give a thank you gift to their groomsmen/groomspeople. This is a gift to say thank you for their help with the planning, organisation, and good vibes they brought you and your partner in the lead up to the wedding. Gifts for the groomsmen are typically given at the buck’s party or on the morning of the wedding day, and can consist of something small like a personalised glass, their favourite alcohol, or, a small thank you Gift Card.
