Getting gifts and letter to each other?

We are exchanging letters the night before, but not reading it until the morning of. We really like the idea.

We passed letters to each other through our MOH and BM

I've seen it where the MOH and best man give them to the bride/groom on the wedding day, or I've seen the presents already in the rooms they'll be getting ready in.

I plan on sending my MOH over to him before we do our first look

FH and I are getting married in January, so Christmas will be really "light" this year on the gift giving. We decided our wedding gifts to each other are going to actually be given on Christmas (for example: I really want to get FH an engraved golf club, but I don't want to lug it to the wedding). On our wedding day we will exchange a card to each other probably through the MOH and Best Man.

We skipped the letter/gift. Frankly, there isn't anything we would say to each other in a letter that we don't say to each other all the time in person. I can see how it would be a lovely keepsake though.

We did each write something to each other that we read out loud during the ceremony. In typical fashion for us, he wrote his weeks before the wedding, I wrote mine the night before. His was sentimental and sweet, mine was funny.

I have made my FH a photo blanket and a book of memories of our first 5 years together. I plan to have my MOH lay them out on our bed (at our rental) after he leaves for the ceremony. I am also going to write him a note that I'll have someone pass to him the morning of.

I can't speak for gifts/letters but I can stay that when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, my FH was their BM and I helped with exchanging things like the rings (as the photographer wanted them for detail pictures prior to the ceremony). I would recommend using your BM and MOH for this exchange!

I plan to use my MOH to delivery my gift and letter!

I will give a gift/letter to the Best Man at the rehearsal dinner who will deliver it to FH the next morning.

View Quoted Comment That’s a great idea! We are also getting married in January so Christmas will be very light for us as well lol

We aren't giving gifts because we really don't need anything. We are writing letters to open that morning. The plan is to not see each other that day until the ceremony. My plan is to give it to him after the rehearsal dinner when we part ways.

We're going to do them either the night before (after the RD), or on Wednesday before the wedding.

I'm surprising FH with a boudoir photo book (he doesn't know I even had the photos taken).

We exchanged and opened gifts the night before. At that time we gave each other letters to open the next morning. I gave my husband a boudoir book, so I wanted to see his reaction, and I didn’t want him to open it for the first time in front of his groomsmen and family.

We are getting married the day after our 5 year together anniversary, so we will be exchanging gifts then. We have also talked about writing letters to one another and putting them in our bags of get ready stuff to be read separately the next morning.

I think it depends - some people do it during the first look, but we're not doing one. We live together but won't be spending the night together, so before I leave I'm planning to leave his gift on his nightstand where he won't see it til I've gone. I will probably write a note as well but I'm not sure whether we should discuss that ahead of time or if I should just leave it as a surprise.

We didn't do gifts or letters because we did so much DIY for our wedding we were over-budget and exhausted (and to do gifts/letters would have seemed forced for us). But...when he showed me his reception outfit (we had pirate reception and changed into costumes) I was so bummed he had a weapon and I didn't he bought me a dagger and even made me a pirate coin purse and filled it with chocolate coins. I love him. Seriously love him.

We exchanged our gifts and cards via best man / moh

I am doing the morning of, MOH will "deliver" the letter - which is not really a letter but a journal I wrote about 100 reasons I want to marry him - I started 100 days before our wedding date.

We agreed on no gifts. We are paying for a wedding the way we always wanted and that's enough of a gift for us.

I'm getting FH a watch and giving it to him at our first look. He got the engagement ring so I don't expect anything on return.
