My Holiday Wedding Gift Guide is one you won't want to miss as it's filled with gifts for the bride and groom, the groomsmen, the bridesmaids, and even your flower girl. Of course, each gift can also be for anyone on your list this holiday season. Today, the spotlight is on hot gifts for the guys - the groom and the groomsmen.

The first gift idea is a Groomsmen Group Caricature from Groovy Groomsmen Gifts. You can bring your groomsmen together in a custom made caricature with your choice of background. Each of the caricatures are hand drawn and are $30 per person in the group. You will receive the final image via email so you can print the pictures yourself (at home, your local pharmacy, or office supply store). You can then frame each one for the perfect guy gift. PS: you can even get bridesmaid group caricatures.

The second gift idea for the guys is a Personalized Wall-Mount Bottle Opener from Cap Catchers. This Bottle Opener makes a unique and affordable gift at $19.80 for groomsmen, father-in-law, husbands, or any other beer-loving man in your life. The Bottle Opener can be personalized with up to 3 lines of text and installed on any convenient cabinet or workbench.

The last gift idea is a Monogrammed Copper Money Clip from 2 Sisters Handcrafted. This personalized gift for $38 will let you create the perfect custom men's gift. It features initials or a monogram on the front and a secret message hand stamped on the back.

It's time to start planning your holiday parties and maybe there's even an upcoming holiday engagement party in the works.

If you're like me, you'll likely want to tackle a few of the party goods yourself - I'm a bit of a crafter and love adding my handmade touch to the holidays. If you're planning to create your own holiday party invitation or printable menu, you will certainly want to check out this amazing winter font bundle. It's just $29 and includes thousands of Christmas and winter resources like fonts, backgrounds, patterns, textures, styles, templates, and much more, plus some extras for Thanksgiving and New Year's. Continue reading for even more holiday party inspiration for the diy host . . .

Other Holiday Party Inspiration for the DIY Host Include . . .

1. Dress up your entryway with a pretty Sweet Bay Laurel & Olive Branch Swag. The best part is that after the party, the dried bay leaves can be used in soups and stews and the dried olive leaves can be used to brew tea. Add a pretty bow to match your party and you're all set.

2. Send the newly engaged couple on their way with homemade cookies in a handcrafted Cookiebox Wood Cookie Carrier. This cookie carrier is built of sturdy pine and has four partitioned segments with a sliding lid to keep your precious cookies safe, intact and from touching each other.

3. Treat your guests to a cheese bar with this Deluxe DIY Cheese Kit. This kit requires no aging - you only need the cheese kit and fresh milk and you'll have your own hand-crafted chevre, mozzarella, ricotta, crumbly goat cheese, paneer or queso blanco, ready in an hour or less.

4. No holiday party is complete without hot chocolate so treat your guests to these Holiday Hot Chocolate Sticks and swirl each into a steaming cup of milk. You might even want to top the drinks with Holiday Flavored Marshmallows.
