Our story
It started with a lot of forgettable groomsmen gifts
Chris Bajda stood in a lot of wedding parties and kept noticing the same thing: tacky gifts and a total lack of creativity. Nothing said anything about the guy holding it.
So in 2013 he started Groovy Groomsmen Gifts with a simple idea. Planning a wedding already takes every spare minute, so make it easy for a groom to thank his guys with gifts that carry their names, their roles and the date, made with care and backed by people who answer when you call.
Today we are family owned in Monroe, Connecticut, and a real person still reads every name before it is made. The goal has not changed: a gift your groomsmen keep, not one that ends up in a box in the basement.
A real person reads every name, date and message before anything is made. If something looks off, we email you first.

We make it in our workshop
Most gifts are engraved, embroidered or assembled right here in Monroe, on the laser engravers you see in this photo.
03
We pack it and ship it fast
Most orders leave within 1 to 2 business days, and an order for 6, 8 or 12 guys ships just as fast as one gift.

Fun photos, because we take the gifts seriously and ourselves a lot less.

Bill Goncalves
COO & Thread Master
Our COO and head of embroidery production. When a gift is embroidered, it runs through his side of the shop.
George Keklik
COO & Lasers Master
Our COO and director of laser engraving. While the rest of us sent in goofy photos, George sent a proper headshot, which tells you exactly why we trust him with the lasers.
Plus the engravers, embroiderers and packers in our Monroe workshop who make and ship every order.
Why grooms trust us
Real people, real follow-through
Three reviews about working with our team, in the customers' own words.
★★★★★
I wanted to start with customer service first. I ordered 3 box sets for my best man and groomsman but selected the wrong option. I emailed the customer service department and they responded the next day and was able to make the adjustments with ease! The products arrived within a week and the quality is great! Will definitely recommend
Super nice groomsmen and besty gifts and I like that you can customize what goes inside. I had to make a late change on one box due to one of my groomsmen backing out. Called customer service on a weekend and got a follow up and change of name and contents the following Monday. I'd recommend Groovy Groomsmen to anyone looking for wedding party gifts.
Our best man wasnt expecting such a beautiful and high quality gift, and honestly we were a little surprised, as well. I looked at hundreds of wedding party gift sets and bought several others for some of our wedding party but this one was better in every way. Totally recommend this for any of your personalized gift needs!
