Bride and groom giving wedding gifts to each other?

I think this is more of a new think not really a tradition. I didn't do it with my husband because we both couldn't think of anything to give and it seemed sort of forced. If it's something that the both of you really want to do then do it, just remember you don't have to do everything that is deemed a "tradition". I didn't do the something borrowed, something blue *GASP*.

We were going to do the gift think but didn't thought that our money is better spent elsewhere.

We did it because we wanted to. I got the Kate Spade "mrs" necklace, and he picked out a Fossil watch he wanted.

I would like to do this, but it will depend on $. If I do, it will be photos from a boudoir shoot. If he got me anything, I have a necklace I'd love to wear on my wedding day, that I'd never splurge on myself for... but I haven't even said anything, so who knows?

We probably wont do gifts but will write eachother a short letter

I bought DH new bed slats. It's not terribly romantic, but that 's what he wanted, and it was kinda expensive, so that's what he got. He gave me blue diamond earrings to match my e-ring and be my something blue.

We got married 26 years ago and exchanged gifts before the wedding (he got me a diamond pendant he wanted me to wear that day). I had a money clip made for him.

I wouldnt say its a tradition more a thing some people do and some don't.

We aren't, we are getting a wedding and a kid that is enough presents for a lifetime

I think this is more of a new thing. We're doing it because we want pictures of us exchanging them before the ceremony starts. We aren't doing a first look, but we'll have a wall or door between us as we exchange gifts so we can't see each other - but hold hands and so our photographer can capture the moment. I'm just getting him a personalized pocket watch or flask - not sure which one yet.

I want us to get each other cologne/purfume to wear that day and every year on our anniversary. Along with a note to read the night before.

Many people choose not to, but some do. It depends on what you want to do. We did. I bought H a gun and he bought me a car.

I'm with Erin, with our budget stretching at the seams, this is something to easily cut for us.

Its often sent over while you are dressing, ive seen schmancy rich people send eachother a watch to the groom and diamonds/tiffanys to the bride before theyve seen eachother.

I'm with Erin, the only gift we are giving each other is the honeymoon. We share everything money wise so it just wouldn't make sense to give any more.

Yah the gift thing is over our budget. so instead we are going to write each others vows and pass it to each other while getting ready!!

I'm a giving presents, so I'm going to do it. Either cufflinks or a bracelet.

My husband gave me a piece of art. He had a sketch of my dress created. It was breathtaking. My best friend and husband to be will be exchanging this gift for after the wedding. I have been giving this as shower gifts too. I love personalized and this is perfect. https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/dreamlines-dress-sketch-o-fallon/312df29d678919b5.html
