Are you doing Bride-groom Presents?

We skipped the gifts for each other part since the wedding was enough for us to look forward to. The cost of gifts was priceless since we have each other to cherish and go out throughout the years for dinners.

I agree with you, actually. I said to my fiance "so.. we're not doing husband/wife gifts for each other, right?"

his response was "what?? I didn't even know that was a thing?? The marriage is the gift, is it not? lol".

So no. We're also paying for the wedding ourselves, so yeah. That'll be gift enough! Plus a killer honeymoon (hopefully)

Oh I misunderstood. No we’re not doing those. We buy each other gifts all the time.

I’m torn. I think I’d like to get the ladies something small, like wine tumblers. And ties for the guys. But I do find that and favours very confusing.

My fiancé and I haven't discussed this, but I imagine our honeymoon and the day-of letters will be more than enough for the two of us.

It’s about letting him know that you are excited for the day. Usually you give sexy photos in an album or calendar. It’s more a DIY then spending a lot of money

We decided on no wedding gifts... Our honeymoon is going to cost a small fortune so we decided that we would rather put money towards doing something fun out there we wouldnt normally do

But then i do what i always do and get excited about getting him something so i booked a boudoir shoot so he will be getting an album of my boudoir photos...

I wanted us to trade perfume/cologne. we Would pick what we wanted each other to wear but honestly cost is getting to us so i think it would be best just to write a cute note to each other and leave it at that

I honestly haven't thought too much into this. I honestly wouldn't know what to get him because he has everything he wants/needs lol.

View quoted message Thanks, I’ll probabky just do a letter too. I think it’ll be more special anyway

We are paying for the wedding ourselves - we are doing gifts, but they are small things rather than some big elaborate gesture. I'm giving him a photobook of boudoir pictures - I've traded my sewing skills for my amazing photographer friends skills, and I'll be using a groupon to purchase the book, so all in it will be less than 50$. I don't know what he's getting me! We are also exchanging letters at the same time.

Yeah I personally think this is the best idea! Save up and maybe do an extra excursion or something!

We didn't give each other gifts. We decided to put a little extra money into our honeymoon instead.

View quoted message Agreed. Just shaking every last dollar out of the brides and grooms. Haha.

Nope. I can’t imagine having that on my list as well. The wedding is our day and sharing it with friends and family is the best gift. I love the idea of a note the morning of to each other. That’s perfect. But don’t feel obligated to do anything that is ‘suggested’. Do what feels right for the two of you ☺️

We aren't doing gifts. The day is going to be special enough!

We to are paying for our wedding ourselves. He doesn’t want a wedding band but I will insist that he wears one. So I’ll be buying that for him and then after that I thought I’d like to get him some cuff links with our initials on them for him to wear on our wedding day but nothing else. I don’t need a gift either.

I really think it’s just more of an individual decision. I think if you want to get your partner a gift, great! If you don’t want to get your partner a gift, great! I think I’ll send my FH a love note with a nice bottle of bourbon (his fav) but I don’t want him to know, because I don’t want him to get my anything. It’s nothing major at all, Just a little something. We are paying for our wedding ourselves as well, so it’s not going to be an extravagant gift

Ohhhhhh man! No offence to anyone who is doing it, but this seems like such a scammy "trend" made to get more money out of brides and grooms. I plan on writing a note for him to read the morning of, but no gifts. I'm his gift, and he's mine. I think my life is certainly gift enough Don't spend the money. Save gifts for important anniversaries.

We are not doing gifts, we thinks it is an unnecessary expense. We are going to write each other letters and I think that is more meaningful.

We are paying for the wedding ourselves as well and thought it was silly to add 1 more expense! We don't want to add more stress. If you guys both don't know or care- o say skip it. You can treat eachother for the rest of your life

We are doing a letter to each other. I'm not sure if we'll do gift as we already received a beautiful baby girl.

We are writing a note to each other and giving a $5 gift. I am getting him a Smirnoff Ice (for those who know about "icing" people with them) and I think he will love it!

My fiancé and I agreed on not spending money that we don’t need to. Our wedding is a month before Christmas. And it’s a week before my birthday. Extra stuff is not necessary.

I’m doing boudoir for him - it’s a surprise, he’ll get an album on the day of and we’re writing each other letters but I don’t really expect a gift. Weddings are expensive and I think it’s up to you what you want to do. You could skip it if you don’t want to give gifts I don’t think it’s necessary totally up to you!

We got gifts for each other, but we'll give them more so as a celebration of our 10th anniversary after he comes home

We did the same thing! Skipped wedding day presents and treated ourselves on the honeymoon!

No. We decided to save that money for our honeymoon!

We decided that we will buy each other a little something on our honeymoon as our gifts to each other. Just a little souvenir or something to help us remember our honeymoon.

I think the concept of "gifts" has gotten really big, and people go overboard... Traditionally you give each other a little something... something more personal, with perhaps a love note/letter to open before the wedding.

My friends gave each other letters, and she gave her hubby a watch, engraved with something cute/cheesy.

I'm considering getting my fiance a boudoir shoot of me... A calendar, or book or something. A gift just for him. Or possibly a watch (he loves watches), that he'd wear for the wedding.

I was gunna say.... i think I AM the gift ahahah!!! I'm kidding (mostly) but I don't think we'll give each other gifts? I plan on getting something for his parents but I think I'd we'll save our money for the honeymoon... or maybe our new home hahah!!
