Groom gift from bride

Valerie, on April 5, 2017 at 9:06 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 40

18 days out from the wedding and I still haven't gotten my FH a wedding day gift yet. Would anyone mind sharing ideas on what they are doing for their FH on the wedding day? I'm debating on just sending him whiskey, shot glasses, and a hand-written note. Does that sound sufficient?

    I am probably getting him a new watch for the day of, but my actual gift will be a new grill that he has been looking at. I also had boudoir photos done that he will be receiving the night before the wedding.

    I think so. We didn't bother with exchanging gifts.

    I'm getting him a smart watch. He's been eyeballing it for months now & he never spends any money on him. Along with a handwritten letter.

    We wrote each other love notes to read the morning of the wedding. It was free. After spending $25k on and event and buying a house a few months earlier, we didn't feel the need to spend more dollars on a material item.

    What @Miss S. said. I am getting him a wife, and maybe a note.

    I made a themed photo album from our time together. Not expensive but memorable.

    I am getting him a GoPro, but he's been talking about getting one since last year, especially since the DSLR we bought for product photography is the ONE camera that doesn't focus properly when using the video feature. Like @Hannah, he never spends money on himself. Plus, it will dual as an amazing way to capture our honeymoon.

    I got him a lovely aviation-themed desk clock from Pier 1; he loves vintage aircraft, and he really needed a clock in the office. It caught him by surprise, as he wasn't expecting a gift from me. Oops. ;-)

    That sounds good to me! lol

    @FutureMrsAllen I like that one.

    I dont think were doing an exchange, although I was thinking about doing the free photoshoot I won to give him a little black book before the ceremony.

    We decided to get each other's cologne/perfume for the day of. I also ended up getting him Darth Vader cuff links and a little book that was a fill in the blank book of "Reasons I Love You" or something like that. I also wrote him a note. He ended up getting me the perfume and earrings.

    FH is OBSESSED with watches lol. That's always a gift that he's a fan of. I found this watch online and plan on doing something similar with a letter and possibly boudoir photos.

    So I always used to joke with my dad that for any man to marry me he would definitely have put out a dowry, and my dad would joke back that he would give 2 cows. Anyways years last this became a running joke between my FH and my dad, that FH would take the 2 cows. So for his wedding gift I got him beautiful white gold cuff links, that are cows!

    I know some will think this is odd, or weird, but he, like myself will find it hysterical.

    I am giving FH a journal thing I've been writing in since 9/15/16. I would give him a card or a note with something sweet inside, no need to do anything crazy/spend a lot of $$!

    @Sunshine, I've also been writing my FH a journal! I've had to start a second one because I went a little crazy on the first...I've been including pictures and things like business cards from restaurants we've been to, ticket stubs, etc in it along the way.
