You’ve sat through cake tasting sessions, helped pick out the venue, and gone for tux fittings.
Now, it’s time for something a little more fun: picking out gifts for groomsmen.
If your wedding party loves their sporting events, make it easy on yourself with sports-themed gifts. You can find a variety of options to keep everyone in the party happy.
Check out these seven gift ideas.
1. Sporting Event Tickets
Give your favorite people a sports experience with tickets to a sporting event. You can turn it into a group activity and bachelor party by getting tickets to an upcoming sporting event just before the wedding.
Upgrade the experience by securing a suite at the game. Everyone gets a great view, and you can have a more personal experience. Suites often come with food and drink options to keep everyone satisfied.
Pair sporting tickets with physical sports-themed gifts to give your groomsmen a memento from the day.
2. Sports-Themed Drink Containers
Whether your groomsmen prefer coffee or whiskey, drink containers with a sports theme keep them satisfied.
Personalized NFL tumblers hold a variety of hot and cold drink options. Choose each guy’s favorite NFL team, then personalize the tumbler with a name and special message. Throw in a bag of coffee beans or K-Cups to give them something to enjoy out of the tumbler.
If your best guy friends prefer something a little more loaded, consider a personalized NFL flask for each groomsman. Add to the gift with a bottle of each person’s favorite alcohol.
Various tumblers, flasks, pint glasses, and other drink container options make a versatile gift. You can give everyone the same type of gift, but the choice of team logos and customization options lets you make it personal for each person.
3. Jerseys
Do your groomsmen all love the same team or does everyone root for someone different?
Grab a jersey for each guy from his favorite team, whether they’re all the same or different. You can get them customized or buy a jersey sporting the name of each person’s favorite player on the team.
Don’t forget to have your wedding photographer snap a photo of everyone in their jerseys.
If your wedding crew isn’t the jersey-wearing type, consider other wearable sports-themed gear. Caps and T-shirts are popular options. You might also choose a tie, socks, cuff links, or other clothing or accessories based on the preferences of your groomsmen.
4. Wall Art
Give your groomsmen a reason to redecorate with sports-themed wall art.
A framed photograph of each groomsman’s favorite sports stadium is one option. If you have a photo of yourself with each groomsman at a sporting event, you can blow up the image and frame it for a personalized gift.
Another option is a canvas print with a sports theme. Our personalized NFL option lets you add each person’s last name to his art print.
A shadowbox of sports memorabilia is a creative wall art option. You can choose a premade shadowbox, add your own memorabilia, or leave it empty for each person to add their own favorite sports memories.
5. Team Money Clip
A money clip is a classic groomsman’s gift. Add a sports theme to the gift with an NFL money clip with a built-in bottle opener.
A colorful team logo makes the metal money clip stand out. You can add each groomsman’s initials to the money clip for a personalized touch.
The money clip is a great companion gift for sporting event tickets. Slide each groomsman’s ticket in the money clip for a creative presentation.
6. Sporting Gear
If your wedding party members prefer to participate in sports than watch, get them sporting gear.
Consider the types of activities each of your groomsmen enjoy doing when choosing the sporting gear.
If everyone loves the same type of sports or outdoor activities, get everyone the same gear. If each guy has a different favorite activity, get each person something they’ll love.
Personalize a duffel bag for the athletes in the group. It’s the perfect way for them to carry their gear to the gym. A monogrammed gym towel or water bottle is another option.
For the golfers in the crew, you can choose golf club covers, personalized golf balls, or engraved divot tools.
A personalized cooler chair is ideal for fishing fans, but it’s a useful gift for anyone. It’s perfect for sitting on the sidelines or taking a break during a pickup game.
Sports sunglasses, wireless headphones, and similar items work well for active groomsmen. They can use the gear while they exercise or enjoy sports with friends.
If you have guys who prefer virtual sports, consider giving them the latest video game featuring their favorite sports. It’s all about knowing your guys and giving them something they’ll love.
7. Sports Experience
Organize a sports experience for you and your groomsmen to enjoy together instead of giving them a physical gift. Everyone will carry the memories with them forever.
Many cities have unique sports-themed experiences. That might include a hall of fame or interactive sports venues.
You can find halls of fame for almost any sport, such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, or the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina.
If your wedding falls around Super Bowl time, consider taking your crew to the Super Bowl Experience. It’s an interactive experience with games, autograph sessions, challenges, and other activities.
The NBA Experience at Disney Springs is a year-round basketball-themed interactive experience that’s perfect for a guy’s day.
Consider sports experiences that are nearby, or plan a weekend getaway from the crew. You can turn the sports-themed experience into your bachelor party to bond as a group.
