Father of the Groom Gifts
We can’t understate how important this gift is. As much as you love your partner, best man or maid of honor and the rest of the wedding party, you need to nail the father of the groom and father of the bride gifts.
But no pressure. He’s your partner’s dad, so that kind of makes him your dad now. Hell, he’s everyone’s dad at this point.
If the couple is fortunate enough to have both fathers in attendance, there is no one else throughout the day who will have a bigger grin on their face. It might get a little emotional during the walk down the aisle and final handshake before the ceremony, but don’t think for one second your dads aren’t going to have a good time on your wedding day. This makes shopping for a father-in-law gift easy.

The Simplicity of Dad
Here’s what’s most important to dad, in no particular order:
- Is the fridge stocked?
- Is his lawn cut?
- Is his wife happy?
- Are his kids okay?
We can’t control the first 3, but with a wedding, he knows for a fact his son or daughter is doing just fine.
Is There a Difference Between Father of the Groom and Father of the Bride Gifts?
No, there doesn’t have to be a difference. The fathers of the bride and groom are already receiving the ultimate gift — their child's happiness. But if you want to go the extra mile, photos are the way to go.
Depending on the personality of the fathers, you could go a couple way with this. You could give the father of the bride a picture frame that has a photo of the groom when he was younger. You could do a series, so he can create some sort of life narrative of his daughter’s husband before the two met.
This is somewhat of a gag gift, so if you want to play the safe route, get the father of the bride a gift he’ll put on his desk at home forever. Take the bride’s favorite photo of her and her dad together and put it in a sturdy, personalized picture frame.
