Shopping for Best Man Gifts - Top Tips

Being a Best Man at the wedding is for some people the hardest thing they'll have to do. For the vast majority of Best Men the hardest thing they'll have to do is make the speech either before or after the wedding breakfast. This task alone can take months of preparation and they'll probably be very nervous and anxious that it all goes to plan. Lots of effort would have no doubt been put into making the speech perfect and speaking in front of an audience will most probably be the most daunting thing they've done for a while. Presuming they've carried out their duties, got the Groom to the Church on time, not lost the Bride's ring and made the all-important speech it'll be time to thank him for all of his hard work and efforts with a gift. There are no set rules on what gift to give to your Best Man but we suggest a personalised gift as this will help him remember your special day. If you choose to show your appreciation with a personalised best man gift then it'd be prudent to plan ahead and make sure the gift is ordered from a reputable shop with at least 4 week's notice. If you are buying a personalised gift for your Best Man then consider whether you are going to be giving personalised gifts for anyone else in your wedding party. Ordering it all together at the same time will give you one less task to add to the long list of things to do and you can be sure it'll all arrive together rather than from multiple shops.

You needn't only consider traditional Best Man gifts such as tankards and cufflinks. What hobbies does your Best Man have? Does he support a certain sports team or is he a motor racing enthusiast? There are lots of gifts which are more unusual that can be given as a token of your appreciation. An experience day is a unique and popular choice such as a hot air balloon ride or a track day!

Giving gifts to the Fathers of the Bride and Groom is also a tradition that you will be expected to honour. Personalised gifts for Fathers of the Bride and Fathers of the Groom is a nice way to show your gratitude. Our recommendation is to give a tankard, cufflinks, hip flask, wine glass if you're looking for something traditional. Of course these can be personalised to provide a keepsake of your special day.
