The Budget Savvy Bride

Guess what? I’m MARRIED! Will be back soon with recaps but wanted to share this post about how we thanked the men involved in our big day. Now that all the gifts have been handed out, I can share with you our awesome groomsmen gifts. I’ll start by being honest, I was all for buying cuff-links, an engraved flask, or a money clip… but Derek and I decided to go for something more unique.  We used The Knot  for ideas and once their cooler chairs went on sale, we pounced!

I mean how cool and functional is this gift?! It’s a cooler. It’s a chair. It comes with a shoulder strap! We just thought it was perfect for the guys who tailgate, the guys who camp and even the guys who just want to sit in their back yard and enjoy a beer haha.

It also came with FREE monogramming/embroidery for each guy’s name.

In the front pocket we put a couple extra presents….

A pocket square (that I sewed from material that matches the bridesmaid’s sashes)

Along with a tie we bought for each guy to wear on the wedding day.

We were super excited to give our favorite guys such a cool gift. (And I’m pretty sure Derek and I will be ordering these for us to use at football games.)

    Oh my gosh! Were the bridesmaids totally jealous? I want one of those for the beach or picnics, or even those long hours stuck waiting for the local parade! Great find. *Steal*

      In the words of my husband, reading over my shoulder, "that is awesome! If I had a history of going to ballgames, I would have gotten those for my groomsmen!"

      Nice pic. And congratulations on getting married! :)
