Letter to your groom on wedding day

Bo Leigh, on April 17, 2017 at 9:05 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Can anyone who has written a letter to their groom already give me some advice? I know this is going to be pretty personal and pretty much a know your audience type thing, but any advice is appreciated.

Did you write how he has made your life better / changed your life?

Or did you write the things you love about him?

Or both?

I sat down to write it tonight (just hit me all of a sudden) and I've noticed that I'm writing more about how he has changed my life and how thankful I am for him. I'm worried that it may not be the sort of letter that you give someone on their wedding day, if that makes any sense.

    I have no real advice, but some reassurances: how thankful you are for him and how he's changed your life sounds very sweet and intimate!

    Maybe add some of the things you love about him and your hopes for your life together after the wedding?

    Just write from your heart and you can't go wrong. IMO, this is something that you can't screw up. There isn't a right or wrong way to do this one, write whatever comes to your heart and mind and he will love it. Just don't start talking about other people and you're good. Smiley smile

    Bo Leigh, I understand your concerns regarding if it's something you give someone on their wedding day. I absolutely love this gesture but I will let you know if not given in complete privacy, the impact could be interrupted.

    Should the letter be written and given? 1000% absolutely YES!!!! If done the day of, make sure it is given to him when he is alone and has a couple of minutes to himself. If you don't personally give it to him, plan the timing with his BM or DAd and have him stand guard outside the room he is reading it in so he is not interrupted. Or simply give it to him the night before.

    My husband wrote me a letter. It was wonderful.

    Thanks! I'm giving it to him the night before with the instruction of open it the next morning before anyone comes. Same with his gift.

    I gave mine a card and wrote some things in it similar to what everyone else is saying. He wrote me a letter including his "real vows" (the church we were married in allowed only the traditional ones during the ceremony), and it was very sweet. I think anything goes with this!
