Great Gift For A Groom With A Sense Of Humor
If you are looking for fun gift ideas for the groom, you could always go with a novelty, or gag, gift. First, make sure that the groom has a great sense of humor. The last thing you want to do is insult the groom at his bachelor party.
Here are some great gift ideas for a bachelor who enjoys a good laugh:
- Gag Reel: You could make a funny video or slideshow of some of the groom’s funniest or “most embarrassing” moments. The point is to entertain, not to humiliate. So be thoughtful and do not include anything that would embarrass the groom or make him feel uncomfortable. You could make this at home if you have the right software. Or you could have it made via an online video or photo site such as Free Prints or Shutterfly.
- Lovers Dice: This is a novelty item for the groom to use with his bride. Also known as “Dirty Dice,” you can purchase these at Amazon.
- Marriage Survival Kit: This could be something that you personalize for the groom to help him “survive” married life. It could contain such items as aspirin for headaches (from the bride’s nagging), a calendar with all of their important dates such as anniversaries, birthdays, etc, and small bottles of alcohol for the groom to keep hidden from his wife.
- Marriage Coupons: This is another homemade gift idea. You could make a coupon book for the groom to use for his wife to save him during fights. They could include items such as “I promise to do the dishes for a week.” or “I will give you a back rub every night for a month.”
- Gift Card to His Favorite Pub: Purchase a gift card for the groom’s favorite pub, so he has a place to escape when they get in a fight.
