When it comes to wedding parties, much of the focus goes towards the bride and her bridesmaids. While most see the wedding day as the bride’s big day, it is just as much the groom’s day too. Before the big day, the groom and his groomsmen should also help in the preparations. This way, the presence of the groomsmen is more than just decorative.
Although much of their job focuses on the bachelor party, the groomsmen can also help in other ways. They are the support system of the groom, as much as the bridesmaids are the support system of the bride after all. Giving them unique groomsmen gifts is a great way to thank them for their help and support.
If you and your closest friends are avid whiskey drinkers, choosing a whiskey decanter as their gift makes a lot of sense. Here’s how to choose the right one:
The Seal
As one of the highly recommended unique groomsmen gifts, a whiskey decanter is only as good as its seal. Tight seals will ensure that the liquor inside the decanter stays as fresh as if it were in its original bottle. Take the time to double-check that the seal is airproof so that the bottle can protect the whiskey even while it is on display.
Your friends will truly appreciate the gift, especially if it helps preserve their favorite bottle of whiskey.
The Size And Shape
The options for decanter size and shape is unlimited. The best way to choose the right one for your friends is to either go sleek and simple, such as the classic filigree design that will class up any home or to find decanter shape for each groomsman. There are countless shapes that range from a globe for friends who love to travel to the ever-popular Bormioli Rocco decanters.
As for size, going for decanters that can hold an entire bottle of whiskey is the best way to go. It is better to have extra room left after pouring the whiskey than to have some of the liquor go to waste because it can’t fit inside the decanter.
The Material
Decanters can be made of using different materials, depending on the liquor. However, when it comes to whiskey the best choices are glass and crystal. The clear glass and crystal perfectly showcase the deep golden-brown of an excellent bottle of whiskey. Opting for decanters that may affect the display color of the liquor will make it look less impressive once transferred.
Personalize It
As a way to make the groomsmen gift extra special, always choose to personalize the decanter. This can contain a short message of thank you for their friendship, or even just their initials. Any form of personalization adds sentimental value to a gift, and a decanter from your wedding is one that your closest friends will find useful and heartwarming.
A whiskey decanter is an excellent groomsman gift because it is elegant and classy. It shows how you and your friends have moved on from being college buddies who drink cheap beer to men who savor the taste of fine whiskey.
