Should you also do a gift for you soon to be significant other??

Amber, on March 2, 2020 at 1:14 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 13

I know most people do a gift for the parents, the in-laws and sometimes the grandparents. I also know its a great idea to do a gift for the bridal party, but what about the one your getting ready to tie the knot with? should you do a gift for them too?

    I got my husband something super small aha it was some socks that said in case you get cold feet. It’s a cute novelty, nothing big. So no you don’t have to but if you find something small or even just write a letter it’ll be cute

    I got him a nice tie bar with the words “Best Day Ever” engraved on the back. I’m also going to write him a letter. I might get him a cologne or something else along those lines. Something for while he’s getting ready.

    My FH is very much into video games so I got us matching shirts that say "Leveled up to husband".... Also the running joke is that he should cry when he sees me for the first time so I'm getting him a hot sauce 😂😂😂

    I got my husband a boudoir album. I also gave him a handkerchief the morning of our wedding before we parted ways that had "Keep your s*** together" embroidered in blue lettering. It made him laugh and he even had to use it during the ceremony when he was tearing up (thankfully the writing wasn't visible to his very religious grandparents lol).

    We exchanged gifts with each other but we decided months before the wedding to do so.

    We got each other gifts that we opened the day of our wedding while getting ready.


    I got him an acoustic guitar and he bought me a purse.
    In my opinion, it’s not necessary to give each other gifts. We ended up buying each other things we’ve always wanted but could never justify buying for ourselves so it was fun.

    I don't know anyone who gave their parents or grandparents gifts before the wedding. Letters of thanks ( not gifts) for helping, yes. And after the wedding, albums or framed pictures. Until this craze of giving everyone gifts every time you turn around, Parent gifts are not traditional at wedding time. Except photos , after. Parents have their own birthdays, Mothers or fathers day, their own anniversary, and holiday gifts. ... I figured I was gift enough for hubby. We gave each other jewelry weeks after being engaged. A month later, My birthday, 6 weeks later, his. Enough in a 4 month period. And with winter holidays to follow. If there is something romantic you want to do, fine. But except for wedding party, 1 individual gift for the entire time, given in the week or days before the wedding, all others are a recent trend set by TV promoted by the wedding industry. See what is extra in the budget, first. And think if you might rather have a memento from your honeymoon.
