According to Anglo-Saxon history, the groom kidnapped his bride in order to get married. The original best man, or the groom's warrior friend, helped the groom fight off other men while "bridesmen" or "bridesknights" made sure the bride arrived safely to the ceremony. Nowadays, the best man and groomsmen still have very important tasks at hand. In addition to being the best friend and right hand of the groom, the best man gives a toast during the reception, organizes the bachelor party, holds the bride's wedding ring, and witnesses the signing of the marriage certificate. Groomsmen generally serve as ushers, act as chauffeurs for out-of-town guests and help with last minute tasks before and on the wedding day.
As important members of your bridal party, the best man and groomsmen deserve gifts that portray the groom's gratitude. A little thought goes a long way with groomsmen gifts. Your wedding party gifts will act as a long-lasting memory of the excitement and anticipation of your wedding day. Some of the best groomsmen gift ideas include those that are individualized for each guy; think of each groomsman's interests and give a gift that is along the same theme.
