As soon as a groom has got up from his knees after asking the most important question of his life – and as long as he got a positive answer – he must ask another very important question of someone else close to him. The choice of a Best Man may be easy, a brother, cousin, or long-standing best friend, but it can also come with complications. How to choose between brothers or friends, how to tactfully avoid some of the more boisterous personality traits surfacing on the day, and ultimately how to say thank you to someone who has stood by you on the most important day of your life? Personalised best man gifts are a great way to show your appreciation, love and friendship and provide a lasting reminder of the day.
For the businesslike Best Man, choices might include desk accessories, such as engraved pens, letter openers and business card holders. A carriage clock is a very traditional gift which will always be admired, and there is a great range of photograph frames, in engraved metals or glass, or wood, which can be fixed with an engraved plate bearing your dates or special message. If there’s a picture of the best man and the groom to go with it, the friendship will be an established part of his office or study for years to come.
After the wedding celebrations are over and the happy couple away on their honeymoon, what better way to remind your Best Man that you’re thinking of him than by buying him a drink in his own personalised glass or tankard? There is a great range of glasses, from the traditional cut class tumbler to the more modern streamlined tankard, or even glasses designed for his favourite brand of beer, all of which can be personalised with a special message. And you can personalise the drinks themselves too, wine, single malt and aged whisky, and even vodka can all be presented with personalised labels to say thank You. Other personalised drinks-related gifts include engraved pewter or silver tankards, and if he’s more of a hot chocolate man, how about a personalised mug, featuring a humorous message or cartoon?
Although your Best Man may not be able to take full advantage of his drink-related Best man gifts on the day itself, there are presents which he can wear at the ceremony, and which will be a lovely reminder every time he uses them afterwards. Cufflinks are an eternally popular present, and now that so few men wear double cuffs other than on special occasions, they will make every future occasion a happy reminder of your wedding . Humorous, classic, or modern, in ceramic, engraved silver, enamelled or pewter, there is a wide selection of personalised cufflinks for your Best Man.
And although fewer people smoke these, days and your Best Man may well have given up, a personalised gift of a classy ‘zippo’ lighter, in chrome or black, bearing your special Thank you message and the dates of your big day, will ensure that he remembers you, perhaps when lighting the candles in preparation for asking the girl in his own life a very important question…
