fh wedding gift

So just looking for advice when should I give him his gift. I did a surprise boudoir photo shoot that I'm having made into a small album, I ordered him a penn state quilt to use in our camper, a custom tie clip and photo in memory of his uncle and father. Should I do it after rehearsal, the morning of before we go off our sepwrate ways (we will not be staying together the night before), or leave it for someone to drop off for him. If someone dropped it off then a photographer could capture his reaction on camera or if I gave it to him it could be a moment to share alone together? What does everyone here think?

    Girl let me first say I LOVE the blanket, as a PSU Grad it gives me all the feels 🥰. I’m also doing a boudoir book for my FH and am thinking to give it to him the morning of the wedding. Still not sure if I want the videographer to capture him looking at it though. But I’m pretty sure I’ll definitely give it to him on our wedding day and not the night before. I will say tho that when he opens it I want it to be a private moment for him so he can take it in and not be embarrassed or rushed with people watching him lol. He definitely won’t see a present like this coming so I want him to enjoy it.

    I'd let him open the boudoir book more privately, but photos of the other gifts being opened could be cute! This is a know-your-guy thing though - my FH has the same "um...oh...thanks!" kind of face anytime he's opening a gift and people are watching, whether he's genuinely excited or disappointed, so I'm planning to just give him the things I've gotten him during our rehearsal dinner

    These are such thoughtful gifts! I’d speak with your photographer and see what they suggest. Since your gifts are so personal you’re bound to get an emotional (probably multiple emotions!) reaction that might be a real treasure to capture as a photo or two. I’ll bet you can work with your photographer to find a private space for you to gift the gifts and for the photographer to capture the moment nicely.

    I wouldn't be able to give them to him with the photographer we will be in two different locations getting ready unfortunately. Thank you for your suggestion . I think I will give them after the rehearsal

    My FH is very private and doesn't like attention. I'm thinking after the rehearsal would probably be best. Maybe I could video him 😊
