groomsmen's gifts

[Jtds2713]

WE are getting souveneir t-shirts from CAbo Wabo (quite expensive though - $ 25.00 each!), Reef sandals that they will also use for our wedding (the one with flask at bottom) and J&J Havanos cigars. We are also sponsoring fishing with Redrum for one day. Our boys are spoiled... just kidding! We don't really have a lot of people coming but those who are coming we just want to show our appreciation to them.

how much is the fishing trip? Is it deep sea fishing? I wanted to plan something like that, but it all seemed so expensive!!!!

[Jtds2713]

You are right-- it can be expensive--it is a little over $600.00. And ideally the boat can only take about 4 people. So we are getting 2 fishing boats. November is a great month to fish in Cabo. They are world famous for marlin fishing.

All of my guys are pretty big Eagles fans, so we thought it would be cool to get everyone new football jerseys with favorite players of theirs on them... They'll all definitely use them, and it should make for some great pictures!!!

Ditto --- My FI's has a few from being a groomsmen - they are nice and engraved ... but collecting dust!

I have flasks, beer steins, mugs, etc... All are very nice, but most never get used.

It was my goal to avoid this, and thus the idea for jerseys. I'm way too practical to get something that people won't be using!!!

Hardest part for me was figuring out what player and color to get for each guy!!!

We bought them their linen shirts to wear at the wedding and reef leather flip-flops. It's not very exciting, but definitely added up!
