I like reading wedding blogs, Photoshopping wedding design mock ups, making lists, and planning, planning, planning! I’m a bit of an anomaly, on one side I’m a very girlie girl, I collect shoes, I lay out my outfits 4-6 weeks in advance, and I’d never leave the house without my hair curled and makeup on. But on the other side, I’m a total tomboy, I love to go camping and hiking, play drinking games (hey, I’m Irish!) and most of my closest friends are guys. My fiancé and I are planning a DIY-focused wedding with a balance between easygoing (what he wants) and chic and stylish (what I want), and are tying it all together with elements in lavender, sage, butter cream and chocolate.
About Mrs. Cola

In my last post I showed you what we gifted the ladies, now it’s time to see what our groomsmen got!

Mr. Cola did all the picking of these gifts himself, and decided to do two gifts for each of his groomsmen, but all the same gifts (two gifts, on top of the suits, shirts and ties we got them).

For their first gift, he got them all fancy lighters with their initials engraved on them in Old English Script (yes, they all happen to be smokers).Wedding Party Gifts, Part 2: For The Dudes :  wedding alcohol groomsmen gift mountain view Old Eng  Wedding Party Gifts, Part 2: For The Dudes :  wedding alcohol groomsmen gift mountain view Lighter

For the second part of their gift, he went to a magical store called Beverages and More (or just BevMo, for those in the know).

In California we can buy liquor at grocery stores, Costco, mini marts, etc., but whenever friends come to town from states that have more strictly regulated liquor laws, it’s always fun for them to go to this store. It’s sort of like Toys R Us for grownups that like to drink, with aisles and aisles of every type of beer, wine and liquor you can imagine!

Anyway, Mr. Cola went to BevMo and got all the guys bottles of really, really nice whiskey. Like, really old, and something about number of barrels…

Honestly, I can’t tell you what kind of whiskey it was, since I’m not a whiskey drinker myself, but I know it was really good stuff! We also got a bottle of it for our officiant, as a thank you gift. Don’t worry, he’s a good friend, not a priest or anything!

Did your fiance pick the groomsmen gifts himself, or did you give input?

Mr. Cola did a great job. As for us, he’s all on his own on his as I was mine. However, we do ask what the other thinks. Don’t want to write our name on something we think is ridiculous.

LOVE the whiskey barrel. Woulda totally recommended this idea to FI if we weren’t already set on their gifts.
Might steal for the Future In Law’s gifts though!

^Oh, and I should mention that I now live in DC where if you’re LUCKY you find a supermarket that carries hard liquor. It’s always a huge pain in the ass. :)
