There are only a handful of companies in the country that specialize in personalized groomsmen gifts. Coincidentally, two of us are based right here in the Kansas City area. Recently, the other Kansas City groomsmen gift company was reported to the Better Business Bureau for failing to ship orders to their customers. This led to them being negatively featured in a local news segment. Because of the similarity of our businesses, this caused a few of our friends, colleagues and customers in Kansas City to wonder if this segment was about us. We’re taking this opportunity to respond and assure everyone that this isn’t the case. The Man Registry team remains dedicated to providing world class service to each and every one of our valued customers.
We’re extremely proud of our 11-year track record of positive feedback. You can learn more about our company and our values here — and read some of our 5-star reviews on The Knot and Wedding Wire.
Cheers!
You popped the question and she's said yes - congrats! But have you planned your groomsmen proposal yet? What is a "groomsman proposal" you might ask? I’m sure the simple answer is glaringly obvious: a groomsman proposal is when you ask the important men (or women) in your life to be a part of your wedding party. This type of proposal has been on the rise in recent years on both sides of the aisle. Having a wedding party is a social rite of passage for both you and for the wedding party members. Your groomsmen will be both your support system and your comic relief throughout the whole planning process and the big day. Show them your appreciation by making a big deal out of their involvement!

Stuck on boring wedding favors? Skip the cheesy, run-of-the-mill options you’ve seen a million times before and consider one of these creative, guy-friendly wedding favors for your guests instead. (Hint: The bride will love these ideas, too.)
Make a killer homebrew or have a favorite local beer? Send guests home with a bottle with a personalized tag. These are great to tuck into welcome bags for guests at the hotel as well.
Consider sending your guests home with a taste of your signature blend of liquor. Consider adding personalized tags to your bottles, including a mixer like cola, or pairing them with a cigar.
Give guests a favor they’ll actually use, like a personalized shot glass — both for toasting with at the wedding and to take home as a keepsake of the big day.
A great favor for outdoor weddings, offer guests a pair of cheap sunglasses to keep them comfortable on the bright wedding day and all summer long.
For barbeque lovers or grill masters, offer a sample of your own homemade spice rub or a favorite locally-sourced BBQ rub or sauce.
Share some of the bride’s and groom’s favorite candies or other sweet treats by setting up a treat bar, along with take-home bags, so guests can help themselves.
Are you a devoted hot sauce fanatic? Give guests a taste of your favorite (DIY or store-bought) fiery special sauce to take home.
If you’re a musician or like to play DJ, give your guests a taste of some of your favorite music or a selection of favorite songs played at your wedding reception.
Offer your guests a cigar with a customized label and a set of matches, so they can continue the celebration after the reception comes to an end.
Stock mini hangover kits with instant coffee, ibuprofen, antacids, a bottle of water and a light snack. Your guests will thank you in the morning.
