they would get the band, food, and booze without being in your wedding and without having to spend all other money on you

True, but I want to get something practical and not something that will go into the closet.

True but shelling out a grand for their tuxes isn't really thoughtfukl either. I want to get them something.
If I could think of something that was awesome and they would love I'd gladly pay a grand for it.
Not to mention 1 of them has his tux already, and 4 are brothers so...

What kind of stuff does your groomsmen like?
Maybe consider hobbies of each one and go from there?
Our best man loves to mountain bike like my husband, so we got him a soft cooler deal that also has this stool thing on it that folds out to where he can sit on. He can fill it with beer and a snack and have a place to sit at when he is done with his ride and just relaxing at his truck with his buddies.

"110 bucks a rental x 10 (8 groomsmen and 2 ushers)
Can't afford that with a 480 invite wedding.
Well I can but that is way too much.(Not trying to be a tool)"

Those gifts don't go into a closet because they aren't practical, they go into a closet because they have no meaning.

Hmmm...I guess you're right, I need to specify. If you are getting married in Arkansas, perhaps hunting boots are of occasion.
For all others, consider a gift they will have forever, and can use often.
