Groom's or Bride's Gift

That sounds great! If he already has the gun, you could get him a fancy holster or gun cleaning kit. I've heard of weddings where the 'maid of honor' is a guy (he wanted to be called the dude of honor.) or where the 'best man' is a woman. I think it's totally a personal choice. I'm also thinking of of having it given to him before our first look.

LOL My FH accidentally showed me a photo of my engagement ring before he gave it to me.

View Quoted Comment His parents and brother have all passed away so I gave him a lapel pin with all 3 of their pictures to wear on our wedding day. I also bought him several other things (personalized cuff links, a special whiskey glass, and a golf marker with our wedding date), but that was something I wanted to surprise him with that morning.

That's such a good way to include those who have passed on!

Hmm, that's neat! Thank you!

View Quoted Comment His passion project right now is working on his 68 Chevy, so I put in a new sound system and radio. We set a dollar limit to spend on each other so he has a credit for another project on his truck that he wants to cash in after the holidays. You’ll find what works best for you two and it will be perfect! One of the reasons he gave me my earrings early is that I wear them everyday and he wants me to get the most use out of them.

I got my guys some smaller items. He's a big Green Lantern fan who plays D&D, so I appealed to his nerdy side lol.

I’m getting a lingerie photo shoot and going to make a book out of them for not FH. My MOH will give it to him the morning of.

I really like the idea of giving him something for his car. That way, he'll think of you when he drives it!

My FH is already pretty overwhelmed by all of this planning and timing he's going to have to do..as nice as it would be to gift him something and he gift me something I think asking him to try and find something meaningful and get it to me the day of would be hard for him.

We have enough to worry about LOL!

That's great! Thanks for the photos!

That sounds excellent! I don't think I could do a photo shoot like that without nervous giggling.

Some responses have said they'll give their groom/bride gift after the celebration. I think that's a good way to make sure the gifts don't get lost!

We exchanged gifts at home Thursday night before our Saturday wedding. We wanted it to be just between the 2 of us, and we knew things would get crazy with people from when we drove up to the venue Friday afternoon. Also, it would be more things to remember to pack up with us, and bring back.

I'm glad we were alone, because I cried like a baby. I gave him a Night Sky poster of our first date, and he gave me a music box that plays our first dance song, with the words engraved in the top.

We got each other gifts. We both wrote letters to each other, then I got him a hunting rifle and personalized bible. He got me a fox fur jacket. We just gave it to each other privately at home after the wedding.

Wow! What wonderful ideas!

That's so sweet. I like the idea of waiting till after the wedding day to give gifts to each other. It's a nice way to end the excitement.

Just found out about this myself, we are going to give them the morning of the wedding. Got him a cute wedding survival kit that I am putting together.

I love that idea! What does it include?
