DIY but not wedding related... and ties for the groom

...sorry but I've been in a wedding slump/burnout mode lately.  I've sloooowed way down.  I have to work on a few unfinished DIY projects but need a break before new wedding DIY.. (i.e., starting into the invitations).. but I had a sudden sewing urge for DIY mother's day trinket bags (following the successful flower girl bags experiment)... for someone really determined, these could also work for BM gifts or something of that nature, I guess:

Here's the one I've made for my mom for mother's day:

Here's the one I made for FI's mom for mother's day:

Aren't they cute?  I'm so proud of myself! 

One burning non-DIY question is what type of ties for FI and groomsmen (2).  These are the cufflinks we chose (they should arrive from the etsy seller any day!) and I'm so excited about them...:

FI likes tall collars on his white shirts (with french cuffs, of course!) and we can tweak the suit/tux choices based on neckwear (yes, seriously)... so which tie should I choose -- the colors for the wedding are navy/hunter green/ivory and the style influences are mostly late 1950s?  My dress has a navy accent, BMs have navy dresses and the FG have hunter green dresses with navy trim (so.. Im thinking maybe the ring bearer tie will also be different).

Here are some options... there are many more to consider:
