Chris Bajda

Chris Bajda is the founder of Groovy Groomsmen Gifts and the person behind its gift guides. He started the company in 2013 with a simple idea: a groomsman gift means more when it is made for one person and no one else.

Chris has spent more than 15 years finding and designing personalized gifts for grooms and the crews standing beside them. He attends the NY NOW trade show in New York City every year to stay ahead of what is new in gifting and personalization, and he brings that into every guide and product on the site.

His approach is the opposite of grabbing something off the shelf. A name, a wedding date, an inside joke, or the role each guy played turns an ordinary object into something that shows real thought. That is the whole point of what Groovy Groomsmen Gifts makes.

Today the shop is family owned in Monroe, Connecticut and has helped more than 100,000 grooms thank the people who stood with them. When Chris recommends a product in one of these guides, it is because he would be glad to give it to his own groomsmen.
