Weird Beer Bachelor Party

If you are looking for a unique bachelor party idea, consider toasting to the night with an array of unusual beers. We’re not talking about fancy imported beers that you can get uptown in an upwardly-mobile bar, but we’re talking about really unusual, really strange beers that will get the guys’ attention. Plus, if you are looking for groomsmen gift ideas, an oddly-oriented brew party is filled to the brim with possibilities.

Make Waves With Bachelor Party and Groomsmen Gift Ideas

With the weather warming up, you may want to start dropping hints that a water-oriented bachelor party would make waves. Usually it is the best man who heads up the guys’ night out planning, but really anyone can put in their two cents worth on the bachelor party plans – even the groom, especially the groom. If you want to turn the tide and opt-out of a night filled with strippers and debauchery (it will keep the future Mrs. happy), consider a day or weekend long event at the beach, river or lake.

A Weird Wedding and Go-To Groomsmen Gifts

Holy matrimony, Batman! We’ve seen some strange wedding ceremonies in our day, but this Superhero-inspired wedding just might take the proverbial cake by leaps and bounds. In July of 2010, a British couple, Sharon Wetherell and Neil Vaughan, tied the knot dressed as Wonderwoman and Batman while a crowd of their costume-clad sidekicks witnesses the happy event. I think Mr. Incredible, Robin, Laura Croft, The Incredible Hulk and other characters were spotted in the wedding party.

What Every Wedding Needs: More Beer

Do you love beer, do you really love beer? From brewskis and suds to cold ones and malt, perhaps nobody declares their love for beer more concisely than Homer Simpson, “Mmmmm. Beer.” If you love beer so much, why don’t you marry it? Well, that’s just silly, instead you can make beer the focal part of your wedding, aside from the bride, of course.

Make the Most of Your Toast

While not nearly as life-threatening, the fear of making a speech ranks right below the fear of snakes and the fear of dying. But, still the thought of speaking in public does make some folks get wobbly in the knees, get a quivering voice and break out in a sweat. If you are nervous about making a speech or toast at your wedding, there are some tips to build your confidence.

You “Can” Afford a Dream Wedding

Now here’s an eco-friendly way to fund your wedding – recycle aluminum cans and use the proceeds to purchase all the must-haves for the ceremony and reception, everything from the tuxedo and the cake to the food and groomsmen gifts. A frugal couple from Spokane, WA did just this very green-thing by collecting more than 400,000 empty cans to turn in for $3,800 in cash.

How To Sneak Sports Into the Wedding

Has the bride taken control of the wedding and benched your idea of an awesome sports-themed wedding? Don’t worry, we’re here to coach you through the whole planning process and help you incorporate a favorite sports or team into the Big Day. The key to gaining control of the action and scoring on your wedding ideas is to keep them understated and, even better, convince your bride-to-be that she thought of the idea independently.

Have a (Golf Club) Swinging Bachelor Event

More marriages occur in the month of June than in any other page of the calendar. We also suspect this statistic, paired with seasonably warm temperatures, means that grooms-to-be and their golf-loving gang are out on the links enjoying a few final rounds of golf. For the nervous groom, there’s no better way to work out the jitters than driving a ball down the green and hanging out with the guys. Here are some great ideas for golf-inspired bachelor parties.

Pop the Cork Off a Prohibition Era Bachelor Party

What goes around comes around and these days Prohibition-Era elegance is all the rage and wedding events. Take a cue from the dashing fashions, hush-hush shenanigans and clandestine celebrations of the 1920s and incorporate the best of the bygone decade into your bachelor party or pre-wedding party.

Man Caves For Your Wedding

Specially appointed “wedding man caves” are a trend we’ve seen recently at wedding receptions that will make your groomsmen feel right at home, even among the formal and fussy surroundings of the most over-the-top, estrogen-infused events. Instead of male guests sheepishly standing around making insincere small talk over the floral arrangements or the table place settings, men can hang out in a space designed just for them – a “wedding man cave.”

Food Trucks, Good Groom Grub

Guys should have some say in the wedding planning, especially when it comes to the food. But, forget about the overcooked pasta and dry chicken you have come to expect from many traditional caterers, mediocre is no way to start off your new life. Instead, consider hiring a food truck to drop by and serve up some unexpectedly good grub. These trendy and tasty solutions on “where to eat” will make a fun statement at your reception, rehearsal dinner or pre-wedding event.

Groom in Charge of Attire

One of the wedding details that the groom is responsible for is arranging for the attire of the men in the wedding party. Even if you hate to shop and don’t care a thing about fashion, this is one time when you need to step up to the plate and take care of decking out you and the groomsmen in style.

Time to Grow Up and Get Groomsmen Gifts

It seems just like just yesterday you were playing ball in the sandlot with your best friends and then riding bikes up to buy soda and candy that you wouldn’t tell your mother about. But now you are all grown up and on the cusp of getting married, my how time flies! One thing that will never change is the bond you share with these great guys you’ve known forever and will soon be standing by your side in the wedding.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Cufflink Backs

For decades, marrying men have found a pair of cufflinks to be a great pick in groomsmen gifts that can range from traditional to trendy. There are so many choices in personalized cufflinks, they’re available in a variety of metals, enamels and stone inlays making them inexpensive or cheap groomsmen gifts depending on which you pick and your overall budget. Another choice that comes along with picking out the right cufflinks is the type of backing that keeps them fastened on the wearer’s shirtsleeves. Often, this can be confusing unless you know how each type works.

Extra! Extra! Groomsmen Gifts the Newspapers Are Talking About

Wedding season is in full swing, just take a look around and you’re likely to see brides-to-be eagerly tending to every last detail if the momentous event with glee. The grooms-to-be, to be honest, are a bit less joyful, kicking themselves for procrastinating over the last several months alleged wedding planning. Groomsmen gifts, that’s usually one of the most sticky wickets that a guy finds himself in at the 11th hour, scratching his head in the middle of the mall or surfing endlessly online wondering what in the world to get the buds that have agreed to provide support on the Big Day.

When a Pint's Not a Pint

A bit of change in public beer drinking is brewing over the pond in jolly old England. Apparently, the long-mandated law is that British pubs and establishments selling beer and cider on tap can do so in the 19.2-ounce “imperial pint” only. However, there is new legislation in Parliament hoping to legalize a “two-thirds pint.” Lobbied for, in part, by the British Beer & Pub Association, this proposed law would make a 12.8-ounce serving available for those who desire less.

Avoid DJ Dilemmas

Unless you’re marrying a bridezilla who insists on controlling every aspect of the wedding planning, you may be appointed with the duty of picking out a DJ for your reception. Most women are more interested in the overtly “oh-my-gosh-that’s-so-cute” aspects of orchestrating the event such as choosing the flower arrangements or picking the party favors and will happily leave the task of “tunes” up to the groom.

Golf, Not as Easy as it Looks

Golf weekends for bachelor parties have become so popular these days, it’s a great way to unwind and relax over a common interest before the big day (and also share groomsmen gifts), However, if some of the guys haven’t ever played a round of golf, they may be bragging beforehand just how simple it must be. All you do is swing a stick at a ball on the ground and try to roll it in the hole – how easy! But unless they’ve actually had a go at the game and been stuck with a seemingly stuck handicap, the newbie golfers really have no idea how difficult the sport can really be. Despite any inexperience, you guys can still have lots of fun at a bachelor golf outing. Just gear up the guys with lots of great golf-inspired groomsmen gifts such as a custom golf shoe bag or personalized golf towel or other inexpensive groomsmen gifts fit for the day. Plus, if spirits and scores start to sag, let them know they’re doing a great job despite the difficult obstacles – here are some facts that will keep things all in perspective:

Coasters, What Are They Good For Anyway?

Drink coasters have been around for a long, long time. Back in November of 1893 a fastidious guy by the name of Koch received a patent his idea for a beverage coaster used to protect furniture from the condensation on the outside of the glass and accidental spillage from the top. While this neat-freak may have been the first inventor named on the books, we have a suspicion that coasters have a history that goes even further back – probably back to those conscientious cave women slipping pieces of bark under the beverages of their less-than-modern men.

Honor Favorite Stadium with Personalized Print

Remember the good ole days when your school buddies just had to walk across campus to cheer on the football team? Once you’ve graduated and moved away, watching the big game at a sports bar or your own media room can seem second rate without being surrounded by the atmosphere of the fan stands. But with a great personalized sign, you can deck out a bare wall with loads of school spirit. In fact, if you’ve got a wedding coming up, consider thanking your gridiron-happy groomsmen with these sports-inspired groomsmen gifts.

Take a Shine to Moonshine

Once the banned brew of mountain folk, ‘moonshine’ is making a very refreshing revival across the country. A little more refined than the throat-scorching potion of the past, today’s new mountain dew is a hip new refreshment that is bound to sprout hair on your chest. This is ‘the’ drink for your bachelor party or pre-wedding festivity. So, break out the engraved flasks, and fill ‘em up with some clear corn whiskey, better known as good ole Southern moonshine.
