The very rich have friends from all backgrounds but only a few are considered as their best friends. You might be one of these friends because you're honest and sincere and not star-struck with their wealth. So when you ask them to be your groomsmen, they'll fly all the way from their Bahamas foxhole to be with you on your wedding day. They'll ask you not to bother with flashy tuxedos and gifts. Forget the tuxedos, but don't forego the Groomsmen Gifts.

Expect your rich friends to shower you with expensive weddings gifts or pick up the tab for the stag party. Their gestures are genuine and you can feel their affection for you so why discard the idea of getting Groomsmen Gifts because they said so? Frankly, your rich buddies will be secretly pleased with your gifts, no matter how humble because it is the thought that matters most.

The problem is choosing the gifts for these men who have diamond studded cellphones and a gleaming Mercs. Since they are your friends and they know you're no bigshot, they don't expect you to give those Groomsmen Gifts beyond your means; they would be embarrassed instead and may be put off by your show. This is a form of insincerity and insecurity, the mark of false affection. So beware of the expensive gifts even if your intent is honest.

One way to go is giving them a treat of your mom's savory home cooked meals when they are all gathered in your home. You can go out of your way to toast to their friendship, their good health, and continued good fortune.

A round of beers and cheers can go along way in their memory bank and mind you, these treats are rare for them. You can have the dinner videoed and save in individual CDs for them to take home. One day, they'll watch this and remember the fun. Those CDs are your Groomsmen Gifts they will keep among their souvenirs.

If a home cooked dinner is not your idea of Groomsmen Gifts, you can always go for fun gifts like a title or deed to a homestead property in the moon, which is actually getting on with the fun crowd; perhaps you can have their busts made and present these with a flourish after the wedding furor is over.

Some kooky gifts for the playful big boys will be naughtily cheered on and expect your friends to hound until you show them where you got the hoard. Take the executive ball scratcher and potty putter. Oh, expect the laughs non-stop. They'll be talking of these gifts and tell everybody what these are for and blatantly display it on their desks just for the laughs.

Don't you think these Groomsmen Gifts for your Richy Rich friends are cool? But if you want to stick to traditional gifts, an engraved cigarette case or cufflinks will be fine as long as you don't go overboard and spend a fortune on them. You're sincere and your friends will respect you for that.
