    Getting married in June. Not sure what to buy my best man (my brother) and groomsman (best friend) and also my dad and fiancées dad. My brother got me a watch when I was best man for him last summer so don't really want to get him a watch. My friend doesn't wear watches so that's out of the question for him.
    Any ideas? Cheers!

    Have you thought about cufflinks. They can wear them on the day & also have something to remember the day!!

    Exactly what I was going to suggest.

    You can get really nice cufflinks on the internet which have their title on the day engraved e.g. Best Man, Father of the Bride, etc. That's if you want something quirky.

    Thanks for the ideas guys. None of above mentioned wear suits regularly or shirts even so I think cufflinks would be wasted on them.

    How much do you want to spend? You could get something cool like a flying lesson or something?

    Between €70 & €100. Flying lessons or something similiar would actually be a great idea. I probably wouldn't get much for my price range but I'll shop around.
    Thanks for that idea!

    I have the same predicament but I was thinking of paying for them to stay overnight in the hotel the night of the wedding

    We are doing this too for the best man and his wife and we bought shoes and cufflinks for him. Is this enough?

    I got gift bags for my bms and grromsmen. Each of the groomsmen received cuff links and some smelly stuff, both bough from next. All of the bridal party received a nice frame also. It ended upo costing around 60 each for the gifts.

    I got my groomsman engraved hip flasks. A shop in St Stephens Green shopping centre supplied and engraved them for me.
