Becks and the Cities

Hi! It’s been a hot second since I last posted! I’ve been busy prepping for our wedding, which has somehow crept up on me (despite being engaged since Nov 2020)! I’m beyond ready and excited to share everything I’ve created for our big day (new post coming soon)!

In the meantime, I’ll share what gifts we put together for our amazing groomsmen! Tristan recently came back from his bachelor trip to Charleston, SC!

Tristan is a big golf and bourbon guy, so that’s where I started when looking for gifts for our guys! For the custom golf balls, I shopped at Zazzle (link)! We used this company for a few of our other wedding projects, so it was an easy add to the cart! They sold a variety of brands, including Wilson, Callaway, Bridgestone, Srixon, Taylor Made and Titleist. You can also go directly to a golf brand, like Titleist, and buy custom balls there (link)! We picked up a few dozen from each store and uploaded our wedding monogram. Easy as that!

I think Tristan’s crew will put these to use the week before the wedding when we’re in Greenville, SC!

If you’re interested in creating a two-letter interlocking monogram like we did, head over to Shuler Studio, which allows you to buy and download print and embroidery files with your letter(s) of choice. Fun fact: this monogram will be popping up all over our wedding! Stay tuned!

Next, Tristan and I went to our local Total Wine & More store and picked up 375 mL bottles of Woodford Reserve’s whiskey (link). I then went onto Woodford Reserve’s website where I was able to create FREE custom labels that were sent to me within two weeks! We chose to write “Cheers to the Best Man” and “Cheers to the Groomsman” on ours! Our wedding date is included, too! While I think these labels were originally designed for 750 ml bottles, they work well on the smaller bottles (note: the labels don’t specify a size)! Etsy also has great sellers (here, here, and here) that offer customized stickers to fit other alcohol bottles (depending on what your group likes). I just think it’s such an easy way to elevate your gifts!

If you’ve been following our wedding journey, you’ll know that our wedding colors are blue and white! (I think I’ve mentioned that a time…or twenty). The bridesmaids are wearing a dusty blue dress in their chosen styles, so we thought we’d stay on brand and carry the color over into the guys wardrobe, too! They will be wearing tuxes, but a little pop of color never hurt! We picked up these socks from a wonderful seller on Etsy, who sold several patterns and colors! I ended up creating the labels on Canva and printed them out on cardstock, but there is also an option to buy the labels! After printing, I used a paper cutter to cut them out evenly, then taped the back down to hold.

But Rebecca, your template is perfect to me! Well then, you’re in luck- here’s the link to create your own (for freeeee)!

My brother is underage, so no whiskey for him! Instead, we found a Civivi Baklash folding pocket knife (link) he would like (FYI – he’s a Boy Scout) and had it engraved with this name and our wedding date!

Can’t wait to give the guys their gifts in a few (short) weeks!

P.S. Looks like they had fun in SC (missing you, KC)! And if you’re a groomsman who saw this post, no you didn’t 🙂
