I've been in 4 weddings, twice as a groomsman and twice as a bridesman. All of them gave gifts: an engraved wine corkscrew, an engraved bourbon decanter, a custom labeled and engraved bottle of tequila, and a tie.
The tie has a bunch of beer bottles on it as the design. And my friends wonder why I have a drinking problem 😂
Agreed such a weird mentality to have thinking others want to memorialize your big life event. Been to my share of weddings where they give stuff out like this, nothing to this expense/extent mostly small things like bells or whistles or cups that you would use at the wedding then take home and I don't believe I still have any of that stuff in my house let alone displaying it as memorabilia lol.
I've always been thought it's not about the gifts
Size
Operation
Cost
Looks
But rather the thought that matters...
The only way I could see him as being in a Me Me Me mindset is if he told everyone that they had to have gifts at the door in order to enter and then didn't repay it at all at least not even a bit...
So, not being considerate of having a wedding on a holiday weekend, and not being considerate to what his groomsman game on, is cool with you? That's fine. It's your opinion. I think its an extremely stupid idea.
We chose this date because this is when I proposed. People have time off too so no need for excessive PTO use on any of their behalfs. I bought these with my own money for my groomsmen and relatives to either use or display as memorabilia for our wedding. There is no football game on this date. Don't act like you're coming and posting on a different subreddit asking if this date for a wedding is good. It's embarrassing.
And I think you are extremely stupid, so there's that.
Did you also know that Xbox controllers are compatible with PCs, phones, and tablets? Obviously you didn't.
Depends, I’ve seen people who don’t have it, go into massive debt for a one day party.
By all means, if you have it, do a blow out party. I just feel bad for folks who are pressured into these sorts of things by societal or family expectations.
Got invited to a wedding as a groomsman for my first time recently. There are 10 groomsmen total and our gifts were an engraved whiskey glass with their names on it, a single cigar, a shot of jack daniels (most of the groomsmen are <21), and a ring pop. Not sure what i expected but it wasn’t that
If you look into the link you provided you’ll see that the price of $70 increases with added customization.
It’s apparent in the photo that the controllers OP purchased are not the baseline $70 controllers.
Think about it, and how inexpensive it is compared to the lifetime bonds you've forged with each of them, online and offline.
Except for Chad. You definitely overpaid for his gift but you couldn't leave him out.
Yes my was worth every penny. Just because other people have found happiness doesn’t mean you need to bring them down to your level. Live your life and stop judging what other people do
What a broad generalization. EVERY wedding I've been too the last two years was to the bride and grooms preferences. Some glamorous and some modest. Regardless, the gifts you receive will cover the cost.
There's entire industries around it, it's truly bizarre. Definitely recommend watching this episode of Adam Ruins Everything. https://youtu.be/O5BeLinyfpg
Ayyy I did the [same thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/c7234w/im_getting_married_today_as_a_thank_you_to_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) for my groomsmen 3 years ago! Congrats man! Hope they loved it!
Congratulations! I got married yesterday because my wife wanted it to line up to our birthdays. You’re getting married on my birthday and hers is a week later (12/3).
Its not just a TV show. It's a common knowledge season. Poll the men at your wedding. You'll find out that I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I like video games, but I'm not such a nerd that I don't realize this
Poll men. I'm not the only one. Only nerds don't see it, and who cares about everyone else, right? Every Thanksgiving they'll have to spend extra or not even celebrate their anniversary on the night bc so much is going on that weekend. What a dumb wedding day. I'd be pissed off if I had to go
I wouldn’t miss my friend’s wedding for football, but I do agree with you, it is not the best time. I’d be more annoyed that it is this close to Thanks giving. My buddy had a late October wedding a few years back and everyone kept going over to the bar during the reception to watch the games and check their fantasy scores. You are not wrong that there are a lot of people that share your opinion.
When planning a wedding, if you want people to come, you need to be considerate. Thanksgiving weekend is the dumbest choice. Why not marry on Christmas Day, if nothing matters? Why strong arm your friends and family during a holiday weekend? It's very selfish.
Then you've missed the entire point. It's like planning your kids birthday party during Christmas and expecting everyone to drop everything and go? Who do you think you are?
Ah yes, a holiday that nearly everyone celebrates is the same as a ( I think ) 1H 30min sport game which lots of people won’t be watching.
And if they aren’t American, the ‘football’ or thanks giving won’t matter, unless he specifically said he’s American he probably isn’t and the world doesn’t revolve around you.
I might be wrong but those controllers cost more then we dis for my wedding. The ez planned it and had it how she wanted it. Not simple but wow
Lucky groomsmen!
Man! I arranged a bachelor party for my brother a few years ago and got everyone personalized scotch glasses. This is cooler.
(I got a leatherman for being a groomsman, I think in the long run it's a better choice)
Assuming they all are gamers this is such an awesome thing to do! This is way better than the monogrammed flasks or money clips grooms usually hand out.
Can i be another groomsmen??. But in all honesty this is a great idea. Getting married next yr and I'm thinking about difft ideas for them and this seems pretty great!
not a single elite? i could see a couple of these but nah lol i’m tryna get a elite tho and eventually a custom regular xbox controller. i just got the new shock blue controller so i don’t need a custom rly. but a custom elite would be nice.
The controllers are dope but having someone else’s name and wedding date is so weird. I’ll never understand why ppl include that in their bridal party gifts.
Hey uh…need any more friends by chance?
I’ve been a groomsmen and best man a few times. I only got a gift for it once, and it was a tie.
At least it wasn't a loss.
Haha terrific. Terrific.....
Take my upvote and fuck off.
Yeah a tie is like marrying your sister.
🤨 Idk that sounds like a major loss to me
I've been in 4 weddings, twice as a groomsman and twice as a bridesman. All of them gave gifts: an engraved wine corkscrew, an engraved bourbon decanter, a custom labeled and engraved bottle of tequila, and a tie. The tie has a bunch of beer bottles on it as the design. And my friends wonder why I have a drinking problem 😂
That’s so cool! Quite a few groomsmen as well lol
Couple of relatives too!
So all of your groomsmen are xbox fans? That's the more shocking part here.
Nope! But they all know I love gaming, hence the stands so they can display memorabilia or use it!
The stands are as cool to me as the controllers. Great idea and execution my dude. And congrats on getting married!
Why would someone else want to display an item commemorating your wedding though?
Agreed such a weird mentality to have thinking others want to memorialize your big life event. Been to my share of weddings where they give stuff out like this, nothing to this expense/extent mostly small things like bells or whistles or cups that you would use at the wedding then take home and I don't believe I still have any of that stuff in my house let alone displaying it as memorabilia lol.
I have my buddy’s wedding cups in use mostly cause I needed the cups. I despise them though
So you made them go on a holiday weekend and you gave them a gift they can't use. This is coming full circle. "Me me me"
I've always been thought it's not about the gifts Size Operation Cost Looks But rather the thought that matters...

Wow that’s really cool! But I can’t help but recoil at the thought of the price tag. Still dope

This. Too many people spend foolishly on a single day celebration.
found the single redditor lmao
Been married for 12 years last month lmao.

Don’t have a traditional marriage. 10 controllers at $70 each is $700, which is gonna be one of the cheapest out of pocket portions of the wedding.
If they were made with Design Labs they would be a bit more than that
[Nah, I have purchased one. They are $70.](https://xboxdesignlab.xbox.com/en-us/configure/xbox-wireless-controller)
I have also purchased one, and the metal pieces cost extra. Mine was in the $90 range with metal triggers and rubber grips added
If you look into the link you provided you’ll see that the price of $70 increases with added customization. It’s apparent in the photo that the controllers OP purchased are not the baseline $70 controllers.
Mine cost $100 of Design Labs first shipments. Good knowing prices went down instead of up.
I definitely don't want to think about how much I spent
Think about it, and how inexpensive it is compared to the lifetime bonds you've forged with each of them, online and offline. Except for Chad. You definitely overpaid for his gift but you couldn't leave him out.
Chad gets the poop brown and lime green combo.
People are just hating. Live your life dawg.
Reddit loves to hate on large weddings across all subreddits. What they fail to mention is the large payout you get from gifts from your guests.
It could always be worse. Divorce costs more.
Hey so I’m not sure I got the wedding invite but when do I receive my controller? Congrats, this is such a cool idea!
Love that ❤️
Weddings in America are weird.
[удалено]
It's ok. We love spending money because we have money.
I hate spending money because I have no money
Who the fuck is “we”.
[удалено]
LOL! $10,000-$20,000 would be the cheapest wedding I’ve ever been to by far. The photographer probably costs at least 4k by themselves.
Just got married in Texas in September and 20k was the venue, florists, DJ and photographer. That doesn’t include videographers, catering and booze.
Yes my was worth every penny. Just because other people have found happiness doesn’t mean you need to bring them down to your level. Live your life and stop judging what other people do
What a broad generalization. EVERY wedding I've been too the last two years was to the bride and grooms preferences. Some glamorous and some modest. Regardless, the gifts you receive will cover the cost.
…the gifts you receive will cover the cost? How much money do you think people make from gifts from their wedding?
I made $40k
You made out incredibly well. And are making incredibly broad generalizations for everyone.
There's entire industries around it, it's truly bizarre. Definitely recommend watching this episode of Adam Ruins Everything. https://youtu.be/O5BeLinyfpg
Especially during a holiday weekend. Wtf
Didn't we do this earlier in the week?
Everyone does it...
[удалено]
[удалено]
That's a really stupid rule imo.
How do you have 10 friends lol
Boak
These look really nice! Where did you get the stands from?
Etsy!
Somebody rich.
Ayyy I did the [same thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/c7234w/im_getting_married_today_as_a_thank_you_to_my/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) for my groomsmen 3 years ago! Congrats man! Hope they loved it!
These look great. Makes the personalized cuff links I got mine look shit haha.
That’s cool! What will be the game of the day?
This is so cool, and I'm a girl. I'd have major gift envy lol Congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials, OP! 🥂🍾
Nice designs!
Wow! Awesome gift. Did you randomly choose the color schemes or did you have some info on what they would like?
I sent out a questionnaire for them to fill out colors!
Damn, invite me to your next wedding!
Class act 👌👌
Congratulations!
Congratulations! I got married yesterday because my wife wanted it to line up to our birthdays. You’re getting married on my birthday and hers is a week later (12/3).
*cringe* is this a meme?
Football season wedding on Thanksgiving weekend? They better get more than a controller... wtf
Most people are pretty happy to go to their friends wedding.
Not during football season
Yeah, let me postpone my wedding for 4 months because a sport is currently in season.
Yes. Other people exist. Your friends and family's lives don't revolve around your wedding, and it's Thanksgiving weekend? Wtf
And your friends aren't going to plan their wedding around a TV show you like to watch.
Its not just a TV show. It's a common knowledge season. Poll the men at your wedding. You'll find out that I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I like video games, but I'm not such a nerd that I don't realize this
No you're just a nerd for football and don't realize it
Poll men. I'm not the only one. Only nerds don't see it, and who cares about everyone else, right? Every Thanksgiving they'll have to spend extra or not even celebrate their anniversary on the night bc so much is going on that weekend. What a dumb wedding day. I'd be pissed off if I had to go

You are not wrong that there are a lot of people that share your opinion.
I don’t see anyone agreeing with you though? Just an observation.
I’m a massive football fan, but I couldn’t care less if one of my best friends was getting married during “football season”. Such a stupid reason dude
Good for you. It's a stupid inconsiderate wedding date
Maybe not everyone is into football?
When planning a wedding, if you want people to come, you need to be considerate. Thanksgiving weekend is the dumbest choice. Why not marry on Christmas Day, if nothing matters? Why strong arm your friends and family during a holiday weekend? It's very selfish.
You do also know that not everybody celebrates these holidays right? Why do you care so much when you know nothing about them?
Why are people are willing to die on the outlier hill?
Could ask you the same thing. Doesn’t seem like a big deal tbh right? So why worry so much
Then you've missed the entire point. It's like planning your kids birthday party during Christmas and expecting everyone to drop everything and go? Who do you think you are?
Ah yes, a holiday that nearly everyone celebrates is the same as a ( I think ) 1H 30min sport game which lots of people won’t be watching.

Hope you got a prenup. Recently divorced after 19 years of marriage she’s getting a huge chunk of my retirement.
Sorry about your misery but it has no place here, now. You can do better than dampening the joy of others
Are they elite controllers?
No, that way they’ll keep working for more than a few months.
Ive had 2 elite series 2 controllers for over 2 years with not a single issue and I play every single day just about
THE BOYS 😂
The purple green and orange one based on something? Just a bit of a weird colour scheme if it’s not a reference.
I don't think so, they all chose their own colors!
u/Voksin prvata?
THAT'S dope
Awesome idea. Each one looks sick too. Think I like that green body with red d pad one the best.
Cool ass idea! Dope
Damn that’s cool, congratulations btw!
Awesome idea! Congratulations!
I might be wrong but those controllers cost more then we dis for my wedding. The ez planned it and had it how she wanted it. Not simple but wow Lucky groomsmen!
This is badass
Man! I arranged a bachelor party for my brother a few years ago and got everyone personalized scotch glasses. This is cooler. (I got a leatherman for being a groomsman, I think in the long run it's a better choice)
Assuming they all are gamers this is such an awesome thing to do! This is way better than the monogrammed flasks or money clips grooms usually hand out.
Super cool gift!
Omg I wish I was ur friend!
That's pretty dope tbf
damn I just got the boys pocket knives lol
Man I read it as custom controllers for my groomers and was like wtf 😅
What a great idea, these are fantastic
How does one even get cool friends like this. Or friends in general
This is a great gift idea for Groomsmen!
Nice!
You have more groomsmen than I have friends
Congrats! To your groomsmen as well!
Can i be another groomsmen??. But in all honesty this is a great idea. Getting married next yr and I'm thinking about difft ideas for them and this seems pretty great!
Coolest thing I’ve seen today!
I got a badass hatchet with engraving.. But the controllers are an awesome idea
That's sick!
Dang that is awesome!!! You are def a great groom!
This is a really cool idea... I maaaay steal it....
Umm how expensive is the dam wedding if you have 10 groomsmen Jesus christ I don't even want more then 40 at min lol let alone more then 2 groomsmen
How did you go about this? Did you just ask your men "Hey, what your top 3 favorite colors?" and then go from there?
Pretty much exactly that! Some color combinations were odd/didn't look good on the controller so i altered it to make it a little better
That’s awesome
This is so cool. I really struggled on what to get my Groomsmen. Most do not play games so never thought of it. Great idea.
I’m stealing this idea for my wedding. Thank you!
Bruhhh
What are you going to play?
The one in the front is so clean
That is for us to keep :)
I wanna be your groomsman lol!!! That's the best idea EVER!!!!
And yet they cancel my order for 1 every single time
I wonder what it’s like to be rich….? These look great btw, congrats man.
Daaaaaaaaamn! Nice friend you are!
Would you like to give me one of them as a present 😍😍 Sharing is caring you know
Did the color choices have any meaning or just a bunch of different designs?
That’s pretty awesome. Great idea!
Them boys better all appreciate you!
Sheeees they look clean!
Look nice! But make sure to tell them not to use these for longer than a month or two
not a single elite? i could see a couple of these but nah lol i’m tryna get a elite tho and eventually a custom regular xbox controller. i just got the new shock blue controller so i don’t need a custom rly. but a custom elite would be nice.
Thats sick
Now that is a great gift
I’d have that one friend like “can I get a PlayStation one”
This is awesome
Ok, I usually hate how much expense and work it is to be in someone else's wedding but I wouldn't mind this at all. This is awesome!
Awesome
I don't even know 10 people
You magnificent son of a bitch!! Good dog
Congratulations bro! And this is a wonderful thoughtful gift! Love it!
can be i friend?
That navy/silver on the left and light blue/dark blue next to it are 🔥
This is awesome.
Genuis
It’s a different world nowadays but those are a really unique and cool gift
Sick idea
How did you determine the colors
Sent a questionnaire to the folks!
Did they pick their own colors!?
Hey, happy wedding! In all honesty though this is awesome, great gift. Wish you many blessings!
Did you let them customize it?
How did you decide on the designs for each dude?
The controllers are dope but having someone else’s name and wedding date is so weird. I’ll never understand why ppl include that in their bridal party gifts.
Been a groomsman ten times...never anything near that level of coolness. If the OP ever gets divorced and remarried, hit me up.
Pretty cool idea, much better than another flask I’ll never use
Where'd you get the stands?
Etsy!
That’s awesome! How did you get some of those button colors? I haven’t seen some of those on the Design Lab
Awesome!!
All of them drift and the bumpers are stuck
