(This video in no way relates to the post, other than the fact that it says “boy.” And, well, is amazing.)

Bridal party gifts haven’t ever been a big question for us—we’ve known what we wanted to give our party members since the very beginning. Something that was important to us was that the gifts be fun, functional, and personalized.

I am under no impression that any of Mr. Scissors’ groomsmen read this stuff, but just for safety’s sake…

Everyone else may follow me after the jump.

OK, they’re gone. (As if they were here to begin with!)

If you recall, when it comes time to boogie at the reception, Mr. Scissors’ll be donning some custom Chucks.

We thought it would be fitting to have a pair of Chucks made as a gift for each of his groomsmen as well. Mr. Scissors will sneakily find out each one’s favorite color, and then we’ll use said color for the back-stripe and lining of the shoe. Also, I imagine one of us will make up a fake excuse to know their shoe size in order to… order them. Maybe a shoe-rental question? Whatevs, onto the goods!

These are pretend-favorite-colors, as I have no idea what their favorite colors are. Something that we have yet to decide on is what to put on each shoe wording-wise. Our wedding date? Nicknames? Wedding job? I lean towards something that is more them-related, i.e. a nickname, rather than our wedding date, just because, well, it’s a gift to them.

A second gift that we thought about getting the guys was a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, because both Mr. Scissors and I love them so.

Unfortunately, at $195, I think these might be a bit out of our budget when combined with the Chucks. Oh, sad day. We can always throw in some wonderful Wayfarer-inspired sunglasses for fun!

Both of these gifts are fun, functional, and have the added bonus of probably looking super-cool in some wedding photos. Y’all know how I love me some shoe shots.

What are you getting the guys? How did you decide? Was it a surprisingly easy-peasy decision, or something you had to agonize over?
