One of my concerns with getting married is obviously the cost. Even though I have no regrets at all proposing to my wife, I m concern about how much the wedding will cost us. We are trying very hard not to depend on Jenny’s parents to fork over the cash for the wedding. We are both very independent and would love to be able to say that we paid for our own wedding in the years to come.

One of the cost has to do with various gifts for the wedding party. Jenny tells me that there really is no way around it. Giving original groomsmen gifts and other wedding party gifts is simply part of the tradition of getting married. But since we have lots of friends and a very big wedding party, I am afraid it is going to be quite prohibitive. Since we are going to spend the money anyways, I would like our perfect groomsmen gifts to be exactly that, perfect.

Jenny suggests I go online to see what types of bargains I can find. And you know what? She was right. I was able to locate a number of online shops that offers cheap groomsmen gifts and bridesmaid gifts. The selection was also excellent. I saw their personalized pub signs that would be perfect for my buddy Timmy. Another all time favorite is engraved shot glasses. I can see it now. During the reception, all the groomsmen would bust out their own shot glasses. They are head over to the open bar and then the bar tab would be sky high. It is ok. It is my wedding and I do not mind spending on it.
