Groomsmen at the Pool Hall

By the time the hubby and I got married, a number of our friends had already done so. I doubt our friends—mutual and ones that are less so—had any profound concerns that we would disappear from their lives, or become entirely different people. However, I do remember how we felt when our friends first started getting married. We were unsure of how our friendships would change, or whether we would stay in the married couple’s life, and we both figured such a topic was far too self-centered to be appropriate conversation with two people very busy planning a wedding.

When you’re getting married, one way to let your friends—particularly those who are helping out with all the wedding festivities— know that you’re not going anywhere is to keep things light with a gift that reminds them of your friendship as singletons. To that end, I think that these 8-Ball Cufflinks would make a great groomsmen’s gift from a guy* who likes to play pool with his friends:

They’ll let the groomsmen know you haven’t forgotten them, and will still be able to get out for a game every now and then.

*Or bridesmaids’ gifts from a gal, or attendant’s gifts… although not all of us play pool, who among us didn’t spend some of our adolescence seeking guidance from a so-called “magic” 8-ball?
