Buying the same gift for everyone in the bridal party is easy-breezy plus you avail of bulk purchase discounts too. But if you ask us to put in our two-penny worth, then gifting each individual a different favor rather than similar presents is a great idea keeping the general rule of thumb in mind i.e. give gifts that range between 10-25% of total expenditure that the groomsmen had to do towards your wedding including their suit or tux, accommodation, and flights. Don’t get tempted by the discounts given on bulk purchases of the same item and do not skimp on something they need or would love to have. You know them the best and who needs or likes what! Bob's your uncle! You can never go wrong if you think of adding variety to your groomsmen gifts to match their different lifestyles!
