Gifting the Guys

March 3rd, 2011 @ 12:06 pm by Mrs. Elephant

I don’t want you to think I’m a slacking since we’re only talking about gifts for the guys today. Gifts for my girls have already been purchased but I know that they read this so I won’t be posting pics until after they get them. Love you ladies, but I think you would be too tempted to look! For BM Cali and BM Aggie—no telling your husbands what their gifts are. ;)

Mr. E loves the Chucks that we ordered for our engagement pictures so he designed some for his groomsmen to change into for the reception. They are black with a couple of blue touches. We had a very interesting time coming up with nicknames for each of the guys.

This pair is for Elephant Bro - “Black 24″ is his favorite number on the roulette table

The stack of shoes (please excuse the messy table)

It’s hard to tell, but the eye holes for the laces are blue

I’ve got the gifts for the bridesmaids, readers, and house party so the only people left to shop for are the ushers. For me, it always seems easier to shop for girls than for guys.

What type of gifts did your groom select for the guys standing up for him?

This is such a nice gift :-) My fiance will be wearing custom chucks with his tux :-) and I want the groomsmen to wear them too. I’m getting a pair for myself for the reception in hot pink glitter :-)…Do you mind me asking how much you got the groomsmens shoes for?

@pinkmnm220: @debaby01: Mr. E says they were $62 a pair. If you don’t do custom ones, I think they do sell various colors in store.

I love these! I used to wear Converse all the time, so I’d be sorely tempted to get a pair for myself. ;) We’re a bit stumped when it comes to Mr. T’s groomsmen, but at least we’ve paid for their attire!

For our GM, we purchased red Old Skool Vans, ties, and monogrammed flasks filled with Johnny Walker gold label scotch. They loved their gifts : )

I think you all had me at “hot pink glitter.”

I love the Black24 reference - so great to personalize like that!

Personalized shoes are such a cool gift.
