Wedding Gift from the Best Man

Wine, wine glasses, spa certificate, gift cards to their favorite restaurant, engraved wedding frame.

I think the massage idea is perfect! Enjoy the festivites tomorrow!

WOW!! That is generous but out of my budget!!!

well you are the best man LOL
you dont have to give $2000
but you can't go wrong with money
goodluck:drinker:

I think you deff can go wrong with money too little what does that say too much what does that say way to complicated!

Massage GC's or Maybe enter them in a couples team race

I organized with the best man at my sister's wedding and I gave her something special and personal from me and BM gave my BIL something special and personal from him. For my best friend I bought them something from their registry that they really needed and bough her a little something extra that was personal. I think the gift from the BM or MoH should include something very personal between you and the person you're standing for.

Go with money - most people I guess wouldn't admit how much they want it, but they'll be glad to get it.

And don't worry about what they think of the amount. If you're the best man then they won't judge you on it.

I was best man and my present was £60. The groom was really happy with it and went out of his way to mention that he knew my money situation and that it meant a lot to him.

What my husband has done a couple of times is get really nice glassware (usually from Tiffany's) for the couple's favorite drink -- beer drinkers get beer glasses, whisky drinkers - low balls, martini drinkers, wine drinkers... When's he's in the wedding he'll add a pitcher or other bar accessories. This looks super nice, but costs a lot less than people think -- glasses run $20-$40 each and a pitcher is $125-$170. Usually we'll get 2-4 glasses. If you order or buy in-person from Tiffany's they pack it up in the signature blue box too http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/ look under Table/Barware or Table/Pitchers menus. Most nice department stores sell comparable goods if you don't have a Tiffany in your city. [I don't work for Tiffany, I just think they give a really good impression for the price, and have quality goods.]

My husband got an engraved flask, and a really nice bottle of scotch from his best man. He loved that We also got a bottle of Dom (champagne) & 2 crystal champagne glasses from someone else in the wedding, and we both loved that gift. (wow -- we really sound like boozers)

I like the couples massage idea too. Another active option might be something like cooking classes (if they both like to cook) or more adventurous -- skydiving or rock climbing.

Some good friends of ours bought us an activity on our honeymoon -- they found out the hotel we were staying at and pre-paid for a volcano tour (we were in Hawaii). That was fabulous -- we got to do something we wouldn't have done for ourselves -- this would work for the couples massage idea too.

an idea i got from a friend of mine was the enrol them in a wine of the month club. so each month they would receive a new kind of beverage to try. that way its a gift that keeps on giving. that way they can make it like a date night each month when they receive their new bottle too. and you include some beautiful glasses with it.

if they're not into wine, maybe cheese of the month!? i'd like that more than wine! :bigsmile:

a personal chef! There are all kinds. They will do a weeks worth of meals or a special dinner. It is great because it gives the gift of time back to the couple, does not expire and is specific to the couple. So they decide what they want cooked.

A gift certificate to a night or two at a romantic Bed and Breakfast in the area?

I agree with this one or a nice hotel even. Also tickets to a good play, musical, etc on broadway even.
