Wedding Characters Ceramic Oval Ornament
August 6, 2007
If you can’t afford to shell out the thousands of dollars it can cost to have a professional photographer record your wedding day moments, why not consider having a series of ornaments painted with images of you and the wedding party? They’re just $14.95 each, though I have no idea how large they are. Really, these ornaments could be the size of a bottle of nail polish and there’s no way to tell.
Though, if you’re willing to risk potential gift-related embarrassment and willing to be turned into an impersonal cartoon, I suppose there are worse gifts that you could give.
Then again, don’t the bridesmaid face choices look sort of evil? I think it has something to do with the eyelashes. Yes, those are perhaps the creepiest eyelashes I’ve ever seen. Well, that and they appear to have the largest mouths known to any cartoon character in existence.
Bridal Party ornament is available at Personal Creations and comes with three skin color choices, a bazillion hairstyle choices, and totally creepy faces. Ugh, like little zombie cartoons all coming to get me. I’m totally going to have nightmares now.

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.

Bad Gifts for Groomsmen
June 7, 2007
Everyone needs a business card holder/pen holder/clock. In fact, I really don’t have enough clocks in my life, what with the cell phone and the watch and the computer, I can never tell the correct time. Which clock could I possibly trust?!?
American Bridal to the rescue! With the help of this lovely $23.96 wooden-framed clock/pen holder/business card holder, you can let all of the groomsmen in your life know that you have no clue what sorts of things they really like.
Instead of this gift, you could get your groomsmen bottles of booze (wait until after the wedding to bestow that one), some time on the driving range, or a bachelor-party lap dance. Not that I’m condoning lap dances (I don’t understand the purpose), I’m just saying that there are much better things to purchase with your hard-earned wedding budget.

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.
