    I'm getting him socks and a boudoir book of pictures of me. I'm giving him the book the day before the wedding after our rehearsal and the socks I'll give him when everyone else gets their gifts like the WP and parents.

    I’m getting FH a boudoir book to open the morning or while he’s getting ready. I haven’t fully decided yet. I might have one of the girls give him a gift the morning of the wedding before we go get our HMU done

    I gave my husband a silly card and cufflinks in the morning before anyone arrived. I didn't want it documented 🤣

    I’m thinking about giving FW a boudoir book and maybe a watch or a hand written note I’m not sure yet but I to know I want them to be opened while she gets ready with her party.

    I know I am going to write a letter, I don’t know about a gift though.

    We agreed not to exchange presents. I was originally thinking of cuff links but he wears suits almost never ( or even dress shirts). We're writing each other letters/cards but we agreed not to read those on camera.

    We're not. Getting married to each other is present enough for us!! But we're also not the sort of people who give each other presents on anniversaries either. Just birthdays, Christmas, and if we see something the other would like Smiley winking

    We’re notoriously bad at giving each other presents way too early, so have already exchanged our day-of wedding gifts Smiley xd But, I got him an Original Grain Yankees watch (he’s a huge fan) and special cufflinks. He gave me a second wedding band Smiley shame

    Whether or not you exchange gifts is a personal choice. My FH and I might write letters to each other for the morning of but apart from that the wedding itself is enough of a gift to one another.

    My FH had no clue this was even a "thing" Smiley smile . So we're probably not. It would be something to think about budget wise. Since my ring costs more than his, I am also buying him a watch with the difference.

    We had decided to not do gifts for each other. But then after the wedding my husband surprised me with a beautiful jewelry box engraved with our names and our wedding date.

    I did not know this was a thing!! LOL! I wrote him a note and left it on his pillow the night before, telling him I would be the one in white! We were together five years, engaged for over two, so it good to be finally getting married.

    We picked out glassbabys for each other, and they were also the gifts for the entire wedding party.

    http://www.glassybaby.com/ They are really beautiful, handmade glass votives in lovely colors and with fantastic names. The company also donates some of the profits to charity.

    I love the votives mentioned above! We are gift people, so we both have fun with it and try to go personalized. I gave him a boudoir album. Just a mini one and he gave me a sketch of my dress along with his suit. https://mydreamlines.com Both turned out really well and something we can cherish forever.
