Whether you prefer a bottle or can, keeping your drink cold is important. There’s almost nothing better than an ice-cold drink – and almost nothing worse than one that’s room temperature, especially when you’re partying the night away.

Unique Groomsman Invitation Gift Boxes

Who says the bridesmaids are the only ones who can receive fun, gift-filled invitation boxes? The groomsmen are just as important to the groom as the bridesmaids are to the bride, and they deserve the same level of attention and just as many unique, personalized gifts.

Now, the age-old question: what do you give them? A stereotype about men is they’re hard to buy for. It seems we often come back to the traditional gifts, like tools or a tie or a flask. There’s nothing wrong with those gifts; they’re practical, and with personalization, they can be amazing and thoughtful presents. 

But the way to take your gift-giving up a notch and really impress your groomsmen is to give unique, personalized accessories to go with those traditional (and perhaps stereotypical, but who cares? We all can always use another pocket knife) gifts.

Tools

If your groomsman loves to spend time working with his hands—whether it’s woodworking, gardening, or even grilling—but already has every tool he could ever want, it’s time to give him an apron that will protect his clothes and keep his frequently-used tools nearby.

Ties

Once he has enough ties, he needs a tie travel case! This case will keep his ties wrinkle-free during his trips – making it perfect for your wedding weekend and his upcoming business trip!

If he’s a more casual businessman or even a teacher, consider a desk caddie to help him stay organized; you don’t want him to lose his wedding invitation!

Or consider this docking station, which is perfect for using at the office or at home, for the groomsman who already has the watch and phone case and money clip – but seems to always forget one or the other!

Flasks

What pairs with whiskey better than cigars? Once you’ve selected the best cigars for your best men, personalize one of these stunning rosewood humidors for them too, so their cigars never go dry.

Looking for something more portable? You need this cigar flask! One side holds a cigar and one holds liquid. It’s smaller than a traditional flask, so your guys can take it anywhere.

Or, maybe your groomsmen are more into wine than liquor. If that’s the case, they need this stopper and pourer set. The two pieces fit together to re-cork the wine bottle with an easy-to-remove cap and no-spill pourer, keeping the wine fresh longer and minimizing leaks.

You've got his favorite player’s jersey, tickets to the next home game, and shot glasses with his hometown team’s logo on them – these are all great gifts for ay sports fan.

Now you're the star, because thanks to you, he can use his personalized seat at that home game while supporting his favorite player.

Knives
We all love a good pocket knife--the more tools, the better! Some pocket knives even include a pair of pliers. But do your groomsmen have a pocket knife with a hammer with their names on them? Well, they definitely need one!

Gift Box

If you don't like the look of gift boxes and hate the idea of a plain old gift bag, or maybe you’re attempting to live a zero-waste life, you can easily make the container part of the gift. This messenger bag is heavy duty and waterproof while still looking reserved and classy, making it perfect for any and every type of guy. It’s big enough to hold everything he’ll need for work or school, a perfect carry-on item for a flight, and it has enough pockets for all the gifts you want to stuff in it!

Notes

For some people, writing a letter to someone they care about is the hardest thing in the world. If you're one of these people, here are some ideas for notes to include to tell your groomsmen how important they are -- sometimes, a few simple words are all you need.

Who you ask to be your groomsmen is an easy decision. You can ensure their answers will be an easy "yes!" with any of these thoughtful and unique gifts.

Dinner Boxes: The Cute and Easy Rehearsal Dinner Alternative

Weddings are stressful. There’s no denying it takes a lot of effort to pull one off, no matter how many people you have helping out. All you want to do is sit down and relax with your family and friends and chill. Especially the night before. You want to have a calm evening before your wedding day. The last thing you need is a big, fancy dinner party after the rehearsal adding to your stress levels.

You’d rather relax in the grass at a park with a picnic basket and a bottle of wine, right? Well, you can easily do just that with these awesome dinner boxes. Fill them with your favorite picnic foods a day or two before and they will still be delicious by the rehearsal dinner.

The Food

Of course, typical picnic foods are best, because they tend to last longer out of a refrigerator. You can throw these items together up to a couple of days before the dinner and store in the fridge in small containers or you can fill the boxes themselves and store those in the fridge for an even easier dinner.

For sides, think light and refreshing foods:

• Crackers
• Cherries
• Berries
• Grapes
• Applesauce cups
• Sliced veggies
• Potato chips 
• Watermelon cucumber salad
• Salad on a skewer

For the main course, you’ll want something easy to eat, prepare, and store:

• Smoked meats and cheese
• Finger sandwiches
• Wraps
• Grilled chicken salad

Don’t forget dessert! Again, something easy to store and eat is ideal:

• Cookies

• Cake
• Cheesecake
• Gummy candies

The Drinks

Drinks can be served from a glass pitcher or in personalized cups with lids or even mason jars with cute, custom labels. If it’s a warm day, you’ll just need to make sure you have ice available.

• Cocktails
• Punch
• Wine
• Beer

Easy & Affordable Wedding Favor Ideas You'll Fall For

If you’re having a wedding this Fall, it’s time to be thinking about favors! There are always tons of options for wedding favors; it can be overwhelming to decide what to give your guests. Thank yous are important, and you want your loved ones to remember your wedding day for a long time, so what can you give them to make sure that happens?

It may make your decision a little easier if you narrow it down by the season. Here are some great ideas for Fall wedding favors you can personalize.

Food 

Maybe one of the best things about Fall is the food. Pumpkin pie or bread, candy corn, s'mores, squash, pecan brittle, and everything apples – raw, roasted, pie, candied, caramel, cider – this list could go on forever. There are so many rich, savory foods this time of year, and many people will want to incorporate them into their wedding somehow. Fortunately, food favors are usually a big hit, especially if they're homemade!

The food itself might not last very long as a favor, but the personalized container you give it in could! Check out these awesome gift boxes.

Drinks 

Because the temperatures are dropping, it's probably a good idea to provide something warm for your guests to drink. Apple cider is a must for fall weddings, along with hot chocolate and maybe even a pumpkin beer. If you home-brew, this is an excellent time to show off your homemade cider! But what good is a drink without a cup or a beer without a bottle opener?

And don't forget the bottle stoppers!

Candles

Speaking of keeping warm – most of us enjoy a good bonfire on a fall evening, or a cozy fire in a fireplace indoors in the winter. Not everyone can have a fire, though, so they rely on candles for that warm glow. These candle tins can be personalized with your names, wedding date, colors, and more. Don't forget to include a box of matches, too!

Placecard Holders
One way to stick to your budget is to use things that have a dual purpose  -- but they don't have to look like they're budget friendly! These picture frames, bells, and pumpkins are super cute ways to help guests find their seats and serve as a useful favor.
