I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.

Golfing Groomsmen

We didn’t have the budget to give Mr. Avocado’s groomsmen anything that they would want to keep for a long time, so we started looking around for “experience gifts” instead. We wanted something more personal than gift cards, and it just so happens that our reception venue had the perfect solution!

As I am awkwardly demonstrating below, we will be treating our groomsmen to an hour of golfing in the virtual golf club at Hotel 1000! I think that my form in the photo below shows you why they will not be inviting the bride down for a round.

The club offers a variety of course options, which means that they will be able to experience the excitement of Pebble Beach and still make it to the ring ceremony on time. I assume that they will want to do a little competing, and the longest drive or closest to the pin competition options should be just what they are looking for.

Did you give your groomsmen an “experience gift”? What was it?

I think experience gifts are great. I was hoping to give our FGs & RBs family passes to the MN Science Museum or Children’s Museum, but it didn’t work out.
