What Should We Give to Male Guests on the Groom's Side as a Thank You Gift for Their Help at the Reception?

To guests who helped with the reception at the wedding, we will express our gratitude with a gift.*

For friends on the bride's side, it's fine to choose cosmetics from their favorite brands or famous sweets from well-known stores, but (there are various gifts for women!)

However, the problem lies in choosing a gift for friends on the groom's side...!

If he is not well-acquainted with popular items or trends, it can be a common dilemma for couples to figure out what to prepare...

In this article, we will introduce classic gift options that are perfect as a thank you for guests on the groom’s side.*

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ① Men's Cosmetics

The men's cosmetics industry is often mentioned as gaining popularity and seeing market growth.

Beauty cosmetics made for men's skin may still not be very familiar, and few men might buy them for themselves, but wouldn’t it be a bit nice to receive such a gift...?

They can be used on special occasions!♡

A classic item that will be well-received is the SHISEIDO MEN skincare set.♡

The kit includes lotion, a face towel, and a small facial cleanser for a reasonable price of 4,400 yen (tax included), making it perfect for a gift.*

Those who already use men's skincare will surely be delighted, and those who haven't might be thrilled with their first skincare experience!♡

For makeup, how about the British brand WAR PAINT, which landed in Japan in 2020?

Common products include BB cream, foundation, and concealer, but the appeal is that it allows for "undetectable makeup."

It helps even out skin tone and texture, allowing one to look stylish as if a filter had been applied.

It's a great gift for men with photoshoots or a wedding planned! The monochrome design is also stylish.

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ② Body Soap

While it may not be necessary to give something as elaborate as men's cosmetics, a refreshing body soap gift would likely be appreciated by men who travel frequently or enjoy trips.

Well-known options include men's body soap from LUSH and shower gel from the British brand Molton Brown.

Since this is something to be given on the wedding day, it might be better to choose compact items such as travel-sized sets instead of large sizes.

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ③ Starbucks Card

The Starbucks card is a classic.

Since it is something given to men, it might be a good idea to choose designs that are black or simple.

A recommended option is the black card limited to Reserve locations. It has a cool design!♡

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ④ Ballpoint Pen

A ballpoint pen as a gift is also a classic.

It might be suitable for guests working in sales or consulting, for example.

Brands like Parker, Waterman, and Pilot have good quality products that also match the budget for thank you gifts.

Some brands also offer the option to have names engraved, which could add a nice touch.

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ⑤ Accessories Like Handkerchiefs and Socks

Fashion items such as handkerchiefs and socks are things you can never have too many of, so they should definitely be considered as gift options.

For handkerchiefs, well-known brands include Brooks Brothers, Tommy Hilfiger, Macintosh, and Ralph Lauren.

For socks, I recommend Tabio's initial socks.

They offer embroidery of the alphabet, giving a special feel and making them look stylish.♡ Compared to women, men seem to have fewer opportunities to receive named gifts, so this might be well-received.

Thank You Gift for Guests on the Groom's Side ⑥ Catalog Ticket

Recently, there are many catalog gifts that specialize in a single area, such as leisure, outdoor experiences, and gourmet dining.

Therefore, it is also recommended to choose catalog tickets according to your friend's hobbies.

On the site Sou Experience, you can find:

Burger tickets

Tickets focused on sleep items like pillows and aromas

Tickets for experiences like sports, fitness, or bouldering

Travel tickets that can be used with family or a partner
