DIY Groom Gift Ideas

There are a ton of options for things to give as a groom gift. The best gifts are those that are peronsalized, created with the groom in mind. Making a custom gift is easy when you know how. Try one of these fun DIY project ideas when considering gift ideas.

The friend photo album

Have friends of the groom contribute photos you can combine into a nice album. Encourage people to share photos from both childhood and adult moments for a fun recap of the groom’s life. Make sure to include pictures of friends, the groom and the bride for an extra “and so it begins” section. For additional personalizing, add notes or have each contributor add their own personal comments/notes to their photo.

Happily ever after coupons

Just because the groom is gettin’ hitched, doesn’t mean he’s no longer available to hang out and have fun with his friends. Remind him of this with fun friend coupons. Make up a book of “coupons” for guy’s night out, beer meetups, a day of golf and other activities he enjoys with his buddies. For added fun you can include photos of each activity. Don’t put expiration dates on these coupons, they should always be valid.

Personalized photo frame

You can purchase a photo frame that you can have personalized, or you can make your own. To make your own there are a number of options depending on what you want to create and how involved you want to make it. You can do glass etching, decoupage and even stenciling. The idea is to make something that is uniquely the groom and also creating something he would be proud to show off. The frame could be for his wedding or engagement photo or a picture of his bachelor party pals. Maybe its something he hangs at the office or something he keeps at home. A personalized picture frame is one gift that never goes out of style.

Relabel it

You can create custom labels to apply to the groom’s favorite items such as beer, soda, golf ball containers, etc. One fun idea is to create labels for beer and also recover the case or 6-pack carrier the beer comes in. Make up your own fun brand name and include pictures of all his buddies or the bride.
