Gifts for the Wedding Party They'll Love for Years to Come


Planning a wedding can be pretty hectic, but you may wonder why the heck some people seem to panic for no apparent reason. Not you, you just might be the only one in the entire wedding party that remains calm, cool and collected. That is until your future mother-in-law asks you what kind of gifts you had gotten for your groomsmen.

You may be thinking gifts? What gifts, you thought that the happy couples were the only ones who received gifts at a wedding. Not wanting to lose the edge that you created by being the only sane person left you tell her not to worry that you have everything under control. Then later you will drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what gifts to get for them. They are your best pals and it should probably be something special, you are just not sure what.

First and foremost, do not panic, that would only reinforce the future in-laws belief that she really could have done better. First you need to decide if you are going to get them all the same thing or if you will get something different for each one that may reflect their personalities.

Either way, if they enjoy playing poker you may want to consider something from the Howard, The Professor of Poker, Lederer collection, perhaps a DVD on Texas Hold’em. Or, maybe a great new poker chip set or how about a set of rare Grateful Dead playing cards. The actual item is not as important as the fact that you took the time to do something special.

Have a Special Gathering or Raise Money with Casino Night!

Have you ever been to a casino night? Sometimes they are used as a way to raise money for a charity or money for a school. They usually involve games like craps, roulette and poker. Sometimes they include things like a silent auction and door prizes.

If you are in charge of an event that will be used in this way, or even if you know someone that might be interested in that kind of fund raiser, they can be a great deal of fun and the amount collected quite often exceeds expectations. It might even be a worthwhile project to suggest at the next PTA or club meeting.

Many of the items needed to run this event can be rented or borrowed and some people may already have in their game room or home. If you are asked to help out it would be a good idea to ask around because you may be able to just borrow everything you need. If not, you may consider going ahead and outright purchasing some of the items that you will need and that way they will be readily available in case this turns into an annual event.

Since poker tables can be expensive consider getting a few table tops or felt tops, they are just like the actual table look and feel of a casino at a fraction of the cost. And since the object is to raise money they can be a great way to go. If there are going to be “dealers” or “servers” perhaps everyone could wear card player caps or t-shirts. They are not that expensive and it can add a touch of realism to the night.
