Yes or no to boudoir?

FamilyJewels, on October 17, 2016 at 11:40 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 30

Have any of you done boudoir photos? I like the idea but am naturally nervous about it, never having done anything like that before. I feel that it would be a very special gift for him to have. Thoughts? Experiences?

Also, if you are not doing this, what are you getting as a wedding gift? I see watches as gifts often but he never wears watches. Thanks!

    I am doing one. I've heard people suggesting to drink before you take your pics to loosen up lol. I would meet with some local photographers and find someone you would also be comfortable with as well. I'm using the same woman who did our engagements which we had a really good experience with.

    I'm not doing one. In my FH's words, "If I want a naked photo of you, I'll take it myself." Basically he thinks it's a waste of money and we take sexy pics anyway so it's not necessary. We're not giving each other gifts. We'd rather just save money for our future together and just pay what we have to for the necessities.

    I think it's a great idea, and totally plan on doing this. I think he'd love it.

    I think the trick will be finding a photographer you're comfortable with and who is knowledgeable about giving you direction.

    I'm with @mustlovecats... My FH can take a picture of me whenever he wants. The book would be looked at and then stored away. I would hate someone to happen to stumble upon it. Just seems like a lot of money that I could spend on something else. But if you want to do it, I say go for it!

    Yes times a million. If you have the right photographer you will not feel awkward at all. They had wine for me to drink right there, and it was just a really fun time.

    That's a total personal question. My FH would be horrified, because that's not us. But you do you.

    Not doing it. I wouldn't feel comfortable or enjoy it, and I would hate the pictures. FH would be horrified.

    FH is really nerdy, so I am going to get him a Nerd Box filled with stuff I know he'd like - If you've heard of it, think Loot Crate (but better). It may not seem like it, but it's a very personal gift with a lot of thought behind it.

    I am not doing it. I would hate for those pics to get out in some way (especially being a teacher). And the book would just end up being stashed somewhere and it was extra money I could save for something else. We also aren't doing gifts for each other. We are giving ourself to the other person and both agreed that was enough of a gift!

    My FH would also be horrified. It all depends on you and FH.

    It would depend on your style. My husband and are I quite sexy together. I gave him this as a wedding gift. Our photographer gave me a deal. It was so much fun to do as well, but you have to be open to it. My hubby loved the gift.
