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.

FAQ

  • According to Bingham, a bridesman’s role is the same as a bridesmaid. Your bridal party should be there to support you through the hard parts like planning stress and decision making, but also be an uplifting and celebratory friend to join in on the fun. 

    “Your bridal party should be made up of the people you believe will best support you through the wedding planning process,” says Bingham. “Whether that’s helping you decide a color scheme, or late night snacking sessions venting about how stressful the process is. If in your mind you picture your brother, male cousin, male best friend, etc. then they’ll be a perfect fit.”

  • “Yes! You may just have to be more creative and really know your bridesmen,” advises Bingham. “For example, your bridesmen might love the idea of a skincare mask, but not really wear a bracelet or necklace.”

    Just like any gift, the most special ones are tailored to the individual receiving them. Think about their hobbies, interests, personal aesthetic, sense of humor, or simply something you know they’d love but never buy for themselves.

    While there are no hard and fast rules, some gifts are more widely considered gender neutral. These include items like cookware, food and alcohol, games, or tech gadgets, so they make easy gifts for the whole crew. 

  • “I love the idea of getting bridesmen (and bridesmaids!) personalized bottles of cologne,” suggests Bingham. “It gives them something to wear on the wedding day the same way you might give your bridesmaids earrings to wear on the wedding day.” 

    If you don’t want to give a physical gift, you can also provide a fun dinner party, wine tasting experience, or simply write a heartfelt letter.
