Gift Ideas for Beer-Loving Groomsmen
June 13, 2007
The Innovation Workshop has the perfect answer to the question “What is a good gift for groomsmen?” It turns out that every groomsman wants a stationary bottle opener. Yes, all groomsmen would prefer a wall-mounted device engraved with the happy couple’s name instead of something more fun, but less practical. After all, a round of golf or a bottle of gin is an impermanent reminder of the role these special men play on wedding days. According to Innovation Workshop, “Guys keep ‘em, guys use ‘em.” I believe there’s some truth to this statement, because if you ever install one of these in your home you aren’t likely to remove it from your cabinet. After all, it would leave enormous, gaping holes in the drywall.
Or you could just spend the $14.50 on one for yourself and be reminded of your anniversary date every time you open a beer.
Ok, due to some insightful comments, I’ve amended my thoughts on this one. Get your groomsman a personalized bottle opener and cap catcher from Innovation Workshop, just don’t put your freaking wedding date on it.

Personalized Brands for the Bride and Groom
June 11, 2007
There are a lot of people (and by a lot, I mean 8 in the entire history of this site) who are coming to Stupid Wedding Crap via a Google search for ‘Stupid Wedding Gifts.’ Now, if you’re out there Googling ‘Stupid Wedding Gifts’ it probably means that you’re looking for something supremely tacky that you can give to people that you don’t particularly like. Well, have I got the gift for you. This personalized meat brand is an especially dumb (or evilly smart) wedding gift for vegetarians and couples who hyphenate their names after marriage.
While I don’t personally condone revenge-themed gift giving, this brand was just too great to pass up. And at just $39.95 from Gifts.com, it is a much cheaper option than a crystal punch bowl with matching glasses.
If you really want to put the vegetarians in your life into a moral quandry, then give a gift from Heifer International in their honor.

Bud Vases for Your Bridesmaids
May 31, 2007
This bud vase reads “Friends are flowers in the garden of life.” A more honest inscription would read “I could have just bought those ugly gold shoes for you and saved you the pain of purchasing something that is both metallic faux leather and clear vinyl. But I decided that this matching bud vase and jewelry box that I got online for $37.80 plus shipping was more indicative of our friendship: fragile and tacky.”
But if you think that flowers (not included) say it best, then you can pick up the bud vase and jewelry box for $18.90 each at WeddingSolutions.com. I love their tagline “For All Your Wedding Needs.” It is a much easier phrase to swallow than “For all of the crap that the wedding industry tries to convince you you’ll need, but you really don’t.”

My Business is Weddings
May 29, 2007
This is the ideal gift for wedding party members that suffer from occasional bouts of amnesia, binge drinking, or ecstasy overdoses. Can’t remember your name or your role on this big day? Just pull out your insanely shiny personalized business card holder and be reminded of your moniker and your sole purpose in life: Groomsman.
With a business card holder like this, you don’t even need business cards. The next time you’re at a networking event, you can just whip out this baby and announce your calling to the entire world. Nobody will forget you, I promise.
This personalized business card case is available for only $22.00 (including engraving!) from Beau-Coup.
