Let’s talk about wedding gifts for groom and groomsmen. The groom’s wedding day jewellery and accessories not only complete his look but also provide a meaningful opportunity to gift something special to the important men in your life.
Watches: A Timeless Choice
A watch is not just an accessory—it’s a statement. For the groom, a quality timepiece can add elegance and sophistication while serving as a lifelong reminder of the big day. Maleny Jewellers offers an exquisite range of watches for both the groom and his groomsmen, from sleek, modern designs to more traditional styles. Whether you choose a sleek contemporary all black timepiece or a refined metal band, a well-chosen watch will add that final touch of sophistication and serve as a lasting memento of the wedding.
Thoughtful Wedding Gifts for Groom & Groomsmen
The act of gifting jewellery to the groom, groomsmen, and fathers is an age-old tradition that not only expresses gratitude but also adds a special personal touch to the celebration. The groom may choose to present his groomsmen with matching cufflinks, watches, or rings as a token of appreciation for their support throughout the wedding planning and on the big day.
When selecting groom gifts and groomsmen gifts, it’s important to consider items that are both meaningful and practical. A personalised gift like engraved cufflinks, a watch, or a custom ring makes for a thoughtful gesture that shows appreciation for the men who are supporting the couple on their wedding day. These items will not only be cherished on the day but will serve as reminders of their important role in the couple’s lives long after the celebration.
For the father of the groom and father of the bride, personalised jewellery makes an especially thoughtful gift. Maleny Jewellers’ engraved cufflinks are a beautiful, sentimental option that will leave a lasting impression. These heartfelt gifts add a layer of emotion to the wedding day and are sure to become treasured keepsakes.
Cufflinks: Small Details, Big Impact
One standout gift idea from Maleny Jewellers is their engraved cufflinks—an emotional and sentimental gift for the groom, groomsmen, and fathers. One of the most unique sets features cufflinks engraved with the word “DAD” and a child’s fingerprint, creating a deeply personal and meaningful gift. Not only are these cufflinks a beautiful addition to the wedding day outfit, but they also serve as a cherished keepsake for the men who play important roles in the couple’s lives. This meaningful gesture will undoubtedly bring tears of joy to the fathers and create lasting memories long after the wedding is over.
Rings: Symbolising Love and Commitment
While wedding rings are the most significant symbol of commitment, the groom may also choose to wear a signet ring or a bracelet to complement his personal style. Maleny Jewellers offers a beautiful selection of men’s rings, from classic gold and silver bands to designs with intricate engravings, ideal for making a statement without overshadowing the wedding band. For a personal touch, consider having your rings custom-made, with unique engraving options to mark the special occasion.

Frequently asked questions about gifting for the men who play a special part in a wedding
Classic watches, personalised cufflinks, leather accessories, or a high-quality bottle of his favourite whisky all make timeless groom gifts. Choose something meaningful that reflects his style — and ideally, something he’ll use or keep forever.
Most couples spend between $50 and $150 per groomsman, depending on the overall wedding budget. It’s not about the dollar amount — it’s about giving a thoughtful gift that shows appreciation for their role in your day.
Gifts are usually given on the morning of the wedding while getting ready, but you can also opt for the rehearsal dinner or even a private exchange the night before. Just make sure it’s a quiet moment where you can say thank you properly.
It’s a lovely and thoughtful gesture to give a small gift to the father of the bride or groom — especially if they’ve supported you emotionally (or financially!) throughout the planning process. Popular options include engraved cufflinks, a personalised handkerchief, a framed photo or keepsake, or something tied to a shared hobby. It’s less about obligation and more about honouring the relationship.
