Groomsmen and Ushers: I've got 2 things in mind. Custom Cutting boards with their last names and also tailgating chairs with a cooler under the seat with their initials on the back. Should I get both or just one?
Father and Father in Law: Did you get them anything? If so, ideas?
Fiance: How many gifts? Ideas?

I usually tell people to just get the groomsmens gift cards, but the tailgating chairs sound kinda cool

I don't like the idea of customizing stuff with their names. Just get them the cutting board and chairs w/o customization.

The ring isn't enough?

1. The chairs sound pretty cool. The cutting boards could work if their really into cooking/grilling.

2. Not sure what the protocol is with fathers. Both mine and my wife's fathers were already dead when we married. I'd guess a good gift for them (if it is needed) would be something like a nice flask with either their name or favorite team engraved into it.

3. Never heard of giving your bride a gift on the wedding day other than the ring at the wedding and your peen that night.

Man, give the groomsmen a flask with some alcohol in it, it's easy and they'll appreciate it

I gave my groomsmen personalized swiss army knives. Gave my brother a really nice golfbag, as his was literally falling apart.

Didn't get anything for the father/in-laws.

Gave my wife a diamond heart necklace.

Got mine hatchets with a leather sheath that I burned their initials into. Everyone seemed to like them.

Wife and I didn't do anything individually for each parent, but got a gift for each couple with a note expressing our thanks etc.

I would say nothing, but then I remembered that I got her a new pair of Costas for our honeymoon. I also picked up breakfast for her (that she had told me about months before) that morning and got one of her bridesmaids to take it to her.

actually I just remembered that I bought the fiance/wife a new camera, but that wasn't a wedding gift, it was something we both wanted, and I figured I would surprise her with it for the honeymoon
