Finding the perfect groomsmen gift is tricky.

Do you look for the perfect gift that your groomsmen will remember forever? Should it coordinate with your wedding theme? What if your friends already have every traditional groomsmen gift like a flask, hatchet, monogrammed mug, knife, watch, golf accessories, leather bag and even a poker set? Or worse yet, what if they have multiples of each?

The truth is, a lot of groomsmen gifts follow the same formula: find a manly gift and customize it with a name, date or monogram.

Some of the gifts end up being a home run and some end up being a throw away item that ends up in a box in the basement. If you are able to hit a home run, congratulations, you’re probably one of the first guys in your friend group to get married and you thoughtfully purchased a high quality gift or set. Nice work. Most often, however, it is easier to miss big by spending way too much on a gift that lacked the punch you were hoping for. A swing and a miss probably had less to do with the sentiment behind the gift, but rather the limited assortment of unique gifts for guys and the angle by which you approached the process.

So where should you start when looking for a wedding gift for your wedding party?

We recommend starting with a piece of attire that will be worn or used on the wedding day. By leading with items like socks, ties, bow ties, belts, pocket squares, or even shoes, you can guarantee everyone will be coordinated for the day and get at least one good use out of it, if not hundreds more. While we don’t sell belts, shoes and pocket squares (yet), we do have an incredible selection of wedding kits and personalized groomsmen gifts that are sure to get everyone pumped about the big day.

Lilac and Iris Dress Socks

As the leader in groomsmen socks, we are constantly growing our collection of wedding socks. Every year we add new colors and styles to the mix. One of our favorite trends of the past few years has been mixing colors with the same or similar shades of a popular wedding theme. We have several designs that feature lilac (light purple) and iris (a slightly darker shade of purple) and even have an option in our junior groomsmen socks. Coordinate the groom, groomsmen, ushers and even junior groomsmen, each in unique designs but with the same color scheme.
