Excellent Bachelor Party Gifts the Groom Appreciate

When it comes to bachelor get-togethers, guests typically aren’t expected to come bearing a gift. Your presence means more than any item, but you may want to bring the groom a little something special, too. When that’s the case, don’t find yourself stuck in a gift-giving quandary. Our list of bachelor party gift ideas has excellent options for every budget.

We break down the best gifts to give the groom, from the humorous to the practical.

Gift Budget: How Much to Spend?

Before choosing a gift, you have to decide how much money to spend. Let’s face it- weddings can be costly events for guests. There’s the gift for the couple, plus any money spent to celebrate the groom’s final night of freedom. It’s understandable to want to keep your spending in check.

Most grooms will be more than happy that you’re celebrating with them at their bachelor bash. They understand that the event itself can be an added expense for guests. Quite a few factors can impact your gift budget, so don’t feel pressured to spend any certain amount. A small token gift is a nice gesture that will surely be appreciated.

One easy way to determine the budget that works best for you is to consider your relationship to the groom.

The category that you fall into can influence your spending decision:

Relatives

Immediate family members typically have close personal relationships. As a loved one, you’re in a position to know the groom better than most. Close relatives may want to spend a little more to give a meaningful or lavish gift. If the groom is an important person in your life, you might want to wow them with a great gift to show how much you care. An experience gift can be the perfect way to plan more time to spend together in the future.

If you’re a relative but don’t have a close relationship, look at more budget-friendly and basic gift options. Impersonal presents are perfectly acceptable when you don’t share a close connection.

Friends

Friends of the groom can get away with giving hilarious gag gifts. If you’re a friend, you’re tuned in to the groom’s personality, hobbies, and interests. Friends are in a great position to come up with a personalized gift he’ll love. Give an experience gift that you can share together, or choose something related to one of his hobbies that you know he’ll get a kick out of.

Any budget is acceptable for friends, since the groom cares more about sharing your company than anything else. Go big and spend a lot on a lavish item or experience, or keep it budget-friendly with a hilarious gag gift.

Acquaintances

It can be challenging to choose a present when you don’t know the groom very well. Acquaintances should aim to give a simple, thoughtful gift. Something like a pack of golf balls or tees, a bottle of wine, or a bar accessory are basic, affordable options to consider.

Classmates or Co-Workers

Classmates or co-workers of the groom who don’t quite fall in the friend category can stick to something simple. Your relationship is more professional in nature, so a classy, impersonal gift could be in order. There’s certainly no expectation that a classmate or coworker should spend a fortune on a bachelor gift. Consider something practical and useful.
