Time to don the tuxedo and shine your best shoes—the wedding approaches! And with the wedding comes the groomsmen gifts. The wedding party plays such an essential role in any wedding. From keeping you calm to breaking out the pre-wedding soundtrack, you wouldn’t want anyone but these guys to share the day with. They are the guys you’ve known forever, or the new friends with whom friendship instantly clicked. They’re all lined up in matching tuxes, and they may tear up a little before the final kiss, though they probably wouldn’t tell you. It’s customary to gift your groomsmen with a small present to thank them for participating in the wedding day—and to show your appreciation when, inevitably, they are called on to help you adjust that bow tie.
