5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Groomsmen Gifts
5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Groomsmen Gifts
----------
It is very common to make simple mistakes, in buying your groomsmens gifts, which will either make them a complete waste of time or money. The first most common error made, is to overextend yourself financially. It is often thought that any groomsmens gifts you buy should only be the best that you can afford, because of the fear that you would offend your friends and family with anything that is too cheap. However, it is not the material worth of the gift that makes it, but the consideration and usefulness of the gift that they will remember. Nothing can be more devastating than spending over your budget on groomsmens gifts.Once you have spent most of your available funds on gifts, you will find that you have sacrificed many important aspects to your big day. Such as the wedding cake, the wedding gown, the selection of churches to choose from, and in the worst case scenario, even the wedding bands.
Number two on the list of common mistakes, is to buy gifts that will never see the light of day. Even though its the nicest looking business card holder available, it may end up it the bottom of your friends desk drawer. Only buy gifts that are practical for use. Things like a stylish money clip or key ring are very practical gifts, and they are sure to be used on a regular basis. It is also important to make sure you are thinking of what your groomsmen will want and not what you would like. These two desires, although similar, are very different and can bring on a negative reaction to any gift.
The number three mistake on the list, is to buy a gift that makes and pokes fun at anybody. Although you may think it would make a great joke to give your best friend, who is always loosing his keys, a lanyard; he may not think it is as funny as you make it out to be, and he will most likely take it personally. This mistake could not only ruin your wedding rehearsal, but, it could also destroy a long-time friendship.
The number four most common mistake you can make is by not personalizing your gifts. Try to avoid buying each of your groomsmen the same set of matching cufflinks; at least not without having them engraved. The simple touch of a persons initials on a handsome accessory will make all of the difference when it comes to identical groomsmens gifts. Another remedy to not making this mistake is to buy each of your groomsmen different gifts that will suit them perfectly and have that personal touch that appeals to each of their unique taste.
The last mistake on our list, is to not order your gifts in a timely fashion. Make sure that you plan accordingly, so that your gifts will have plenty of time to be shipped to you before the rehearsal night. A helpful tip in ordering gifts, is to make sure that you know how long it will take your gifts to arrive, so you can set the ideal date to receive the shipment. As you count the days left to your wedding, you will find that there is hardly any spare time on your hands. This aspect could potentially cause you to miss the delivery and ultimately leave you empty handed at the rehearsal dinner. On tip we can give you is, to make sure that if you are not available to receive the shipment, that someone else is.
To sum it all up, you should buy groomsmens gifts that are practical, useful, personalized for each groomsman, under your set budget, and able to be shipped in time. By following these guidelines, you can avoid any embarrassment, and be assured that your wedding day will be a big success.
