What should be included: |
- The gifts usually are presented to the groomsmen at the rehearsal dinner or on the morning of the wedding day. It is a good idea to take a few minutes privately with each groomsman to thank him for participating in the wedding. TheKnot.com offers a primer on the basics of groomsmen's gifts.
Additional costs: |
- Having a gift such as a wallet or flask or money clip monogrammed adds a personal touch. Monogramming is sometimes free, but usually does not cost more than $10 extra.
- Having the gift professionally wrapped, or purchasing gift wrap and ribbons, will cost $3 to $15 extra per gift.
