We discussed it and we are buying each other gifts for the wedding day, in addition to our rings. It won't be a surprise though. We both picked out what we wanted. He wanted a nice watch. I wanted a pair of Louboutins (to wear with my reception dress). However, we have money for these additional expenses, so we decided to do it. I think that if our budget was tight, we would have decided against it and wait until our anniversaries down the road for such an superfluous gift.
I haven't talked to him about it...but I'm sure we will. I plan on giving him a gift, but don't necessarily expect one. Even a sweet note or card with flowers would be cute.
we decided not to get each other anything and save our money for things we wanted to do on the honeymoon but im sentimental and couldnt give him nothing so i bought this bottle with a cork in it from michaels and wrote him a letter to open before the ceremony - message in a bottle type thing - i also gave him a jar full of paper and each peice had a reason why i love him.
I definitely want us to give eachother gifts on the wedding day, along with heartfelt cards. I have no idea what to get him though!
@acingthelace: We did. But they were simple gifts well within our means.
I got him cufflinks that had "314" engraved on them. 314 is pi for inifinity and also happens to be the # of the firts apartment we lived in together (he has a physics degree)
He gave me a book made up of all the emails and facebook posts over the last 3.5 years of our relationship. (pictures too!)
With each gift we gave each other a letter as well.Which was what i wanted more then the present!
We did. I gave him his gift the week of the wedding since he said mine wouldn't be ready until after. It's been almost 6 weeks and mine's still being made! No idea what it is.
Instead of a gift you could get each other cards. I think those are so sweet.
We had originally planned and budgeted for gifts but as the time got closer and we went over budget we decided not to do gifts. I didn't get him anything, but he sent me a dozen red roses that morning.
We gave eachother gifts. I got DH a watch that he really wanted and I got this cute little right hand ring. I love this sucker.
You all have such cute ideas!! Whether we do gift or not I will definitely be doing a card or a note, and I hope he does the same :)
I love seeing what gifts you guys all got/plan on getting! Awesome ideas!!!!!
I will probably give him something simple and meaningful... we haven't talked about it really, so idk if he is getting me anything. He is paying for everything, that is enough of a gift for me :)
My wedding day was also my birthday. However, NotFroofy and I decided not to exchange presents that day. Having each other was the best present possible, anyway.
we haven't really talked about it or anything, but i'm making a gift for him as a surprise. i'm making a blurb book with all of our pictures of us / engagement pics. Not sure if hes planning on anything for me though, i'll see i guess! :)
I got him a necklace with a small key charm on it. He once told me he'd love a necklace like that, but we haven't spoken of it since...but the key has a heart in part where the chain hangs, so it's the "key to my heart" idea...I have no idea if/what he will get me...but I don't really mind either way! I'm marrying my best friend!
i was planning to get him something without telling him, but am considering just telling him so i can get a gift too! lol. it was actually more going to be a gag gift. he has a bunch of flasks already, but i wanted to get him a personalized one with his initials with a bottle of whiskey to be sent to him prior to the ceremony with a note with something to the effect of "to help loosen you up" haha :D
We've already talked about it because I didn't want the poor guy to not realize he was "supposed" to get me something. :) We didn't tell each other what, though.
We won't be exchanging gifts (as far as I know) and never heard of doing so until I came on WB. At best, I may decide to get him a card.
We talked about it and since FI and I are paying for the wedding and honeymoon ourselves we decided that was our gift to each other, LOL. Plus we are getting married only a month and half before the holidays there really isn't a budget to do otherwise.
But we will still do cards for each other. FI and I are sucker for cards. He even "hand makes" me them from time to time ;)
We considered our gift to each other to be "half a wedding!" We paid for the wedding/honeymoon ourselves and did not see a need to get each other gifts. I also didn't realize that people even did that until I read about it on the internet.
We are exchanging gifts and notes to each other. FI actually already gave me my gift because he said it was a mix between a VDay, engagement anniversary and wedding gift. He got me a coach watch! I plan on getting him an intense swiss army knife, cufflinks and a tie clip and a bottle of expensive scotch.
We didn't. Like your fi, I was worried about money because we were already spending so much. I also didn't feel like we needed gifts to remember the day, since we have photos for that. I was his gift, and he was mine.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
My FI and I have talked a little bit about this. I want to get him something on our wedding day but he says that since we are already spending a ton and are on a tight budget that we should probably save our money and not do gifts. I just feel like it is such a special day that I would like us to have something special to remember it by. It doesn't have to be anything big or expensive.
It seems like many people do, in fact, buy gifts for each other. Do you all plan on buying gifts/did you?
