How to Find Bridesmaid Gifts for Bridesmen
Inspired by movies like "Made of Honor," gender-bending bridal parties are the newest wedding craze. He may be your best childhood friend, a close coworker, or special sibling, so why wouldn't you want him by your side? Since bridesmaid gifts are for bridesmaids, finding a gift (and an outfit) for your bridesman presents a challenge. Keep in mind that the bridesman deserves an extra-special something for having to endure relentless teasing and being asked if he's going to wear a dress a million times.
Use Bridesmaid Gifts to Pop the Question
He might be your best friend (besides your fiance), but that doesn't mean he wants to be your best man or man of honor. Asking a guy to stand up on the bride's side deserves special attention. An edible cookie card reminds him how sweet you are and gives him a little time to chew your proposal over. We recommend not going with pink, it might scare him off.
 Gender Neutral Bridesmaid Gifts for your Boy Best Friend
Chances are giving our best guy friend one of the more traditional bridesmaid gifts like this pedicure set is out of the question. Scheduling a girl's night out at Chippendales and leaving your bridesman behind is also considered a faux pas. If you want to include him in on the bonding, go with a gender-neutral activity like wine tasting, a baseball game, or beach barbecue. Don't try to force him into getting facials with you and the girls (unless he really wants to). This personalized wine box and personalized wine stopper make great bridesmaid gifts for everyone in your bridal party -- male or female.
Dressing up the Bridesman
No matter how hard it is to resist, don't dress your man of honor head to toe in taffeta. Instead, match his tie or cumberbund to the bridesmaid dresses for uniformity. If you give all your girls necklaces as bridesmaid gifts, don't leave him out. Give him the male equivalent to jewelery -- personalized cufflinks. This way, he'll be dressed appropriately for the big day and feel appreciated for going out of his comfort zone. To search for more gender-neutral bridesmaid gifts, shop WeddingStand.
