So as the thread title implies, I'm getting married in August and all of my groomsmen are gamers like me. Having said that, I'm trying to decide what to do for the ritual groomsmen "gifts". I've thought about all of the usual guy stuff... You know, things like engraved flasks or beer steins, but truth be told, I'd like to come up with something that touches on our shared interest; video games.

Have any of the guys here tied the knot and come up with something clever that's gaming related for your groomsmen gifts? I'm looking for some suggestions. Help me, NEOGAF!

Stick with a normal gift. Don't involve videogames in it.

 

[Sibylus]

Crowbars. Lots and lots of crowbars.

I gave my groomsmen Nintendo DS flash cards and my bestman a DS and DS Flash Card.

 

[nestea]

Honestly, socks. Buy them socks.

Have everyone buy him a different pokemon toy figure.

You do now the tradition right? He buys small gifts for the groomsmen, not the other way around

 

[fallengorn]

engrave the flasks with their Wii friend code, so they'll always have that handy.

 

[Docpan]

80GB PS3 MGS4 bundles. For all of them.

Now that's a fucking gift.

Stickw ith traditional gifts...knives, pens, bar sets, wallets. If you HAVE to go with a game-related gift, go with something subtle/that serves another purpose. The best game paraphanalia are things that non-gamers would appreciate without knowing the source. Are they Nintendo fans? How about individual keychains in the shape of the four different controller ports that Nintendo has used?
How about watches with a stylized d-pad design? Something that doesn't scream controller, but something a gamer would recognize.
For that matter, you can get custom watch faces with any design...the weakpoint symbol from Shadow of the Collosus...or some other similar game reference that can exist outside of being a game reference.

You need to pay attention to the important things that matter to your groomsman. Like which one gets which bride's maid.


Oh, went to a wedding last week. 10 year old kid snagged the garter belt. He didn't look to thrilled with what came next.

Get them headbands with a foam "!" on the back of it, and come down the aisle in a cardboard box. Then have a locker next to the pastor or whatever, and when you open it, there'll be a poster of your wife in a bikini. Spinkick the door off it, then crawl around on her picture and make that Snake jackoff face to the crowd. Then have one of the groomsmen come out dressed like Otacon and ask you what you're doing.

AND GET VIDEO.

How about a wristwatch that doubles as a remote control? Geeky, but stylish and fun to wear/use:

But yeah, I'd stick with a more traditional gift.

Cigar sets are nice.
