Meet the Expert
Kennedy Bingham is a bridal stylist, bridal content creator, and influencer in LA that focuses on working with non-traditional “nearly weds.” Her goal is to continue to educate brides on the endless options in the industry and redefine the way we think of “bridal.”
What to Look For in Bridesman Gifts
Wedding Essentials
If you’re stuck, a great rule of thumb is to think about something that will help them through the wedding day. “I find that when I’m working with a group of bridespeople, the bridesmaids are often familiar with the traditions while bridesmen generally come in blind,” says bridal stylist and expert Kennedy Bingham. “Think little things they might not know they needed, like cufflinks or a tie clip.” Modern Black Elegant Personalized Monogram Name Cufflinks are a gift he can use for your wedding and well beyond.
Budget
With so many wedding costs and fees to consider, it’s important to come up with a budget for your bridesman gifts to help you stay on track. Everybody’s budgets are different, so there’s no “correct amount” to spend. You can get something great for less than $25, like AndSons Chocolatiers Signature Collection, or splurge on a several hundred dollar gift. Both are totally acceptable choices, as long as they are meaningful and special to you and your loved one!
Personalization
Think about your bridesman’s favorite hobbies, special interests, or unique needs. Is he an avid golfer? Consider Mark & Graham Personalized Golf Ball Gift Set. Big time coffee drinker? EspressoWorks All In One Barista Bundle Set is the type of gift he may not buy himself. Consider these types of questions when shopping to find a unique gift that’ll speak to him.
