‘Guys Only’ Showers

Categories Inspiration

Men, here’s your chance to claim a right of passage that should have been yours all along.  Take advantage of the growing trend in “guys only” wedding showers.  We girls get 2-3 showers thrown for us and yes, co-ed wedding showers are fun, but… it’s your turn!

Good for the goose.  Good for the gander.

C’mon dads, brothers, cousins…throw that groom of yours a party that’s testosterone room only, from he-man to sophisticated, whatever seems appropriate for the group.  Inviting all the men from both sides, gives them a chance to get to know each other in a relaxed setting.

And, there’s gifts…

Wedding registries are being offered at lots of places that men would be interested in, including home improvement stores.  You can also spread your wish list via word of mouth for speciality stores and items.  Here are some ideas:

  1. Home Improvement stores
  2. Hardware stores
  3. Specialty stores: lighting, flooring, windows, etc.
  4. Magazine subscription
  5. Specialty retailers for the man who loves to: cook, bedeck and organize his home, etc.
  6. Bigger retailers i.e. Walmart, Target, etc.
  7. Sporting goods stores
  8. Gas cards

You know you want a pressure washer… that would be a great gift for a group to go in on.

Have a great weekend!

Tuxedo Accessories

Categories Fashion
Grooms, how will you and your merry men be set apart with a unique look?
I’ll go ahead and assume you won’t be sporting accessories like this fellow…
There are other ways to use tuxedo trimmings to achieve the look you want. You can stay traditional or move towards the outside of the box. For example…shop antique stores for vintage cufflinks or handkerchiefs.
What about diy? Go to your nearest craft store for a pattern or use the step by step directions found here at HGTV and make your cummerbunds and bow ties.  Choose a pattern and fabric and make your own statement. Cool!
(Can you see getting the guys together on some Friday night with 3 sewing machines and going at it lol?!)
If you need some more ideas or simply want to throw tradition out the window, check out this line at Dann Clothing that features cummerbund and tie sets that are just plain FUN! These sets would be great for themed weddings or to draw on a certain characteristic. For example there is a sailboat pattern for the nautical kind of guy, or for the connoisseur type, a set with vineyard vines, grapes and wine glasses. Oh, there are even pink elephants and alligators for the animal lovers.
Of course, accessories do not stop with cufflinks, cummerbunds and ties; you can also set yourself apart with distinctive footwear, buttons, vest, hat, gloves, cane, etc. And, if your bride isn’t too keen on this non-traditional accessorizing idea, you could have a second set for fun at the reception….
What is setting you apart?  Let’s hear your ideas.
