The wedding day is almost here and you’ve got all of the
planning, preparing and sweating out of the way. All that’s left to do is take that walk down the aisle.
Not so fast. Have you thought about what your
gift to the bride is going to be?
We know you’ve spent a ton of money and time already throughout the wedding planning process, but finishing strong with a great gift for your soon-to-be wife is key. We know that money is always a big concern with newlyweds, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money (if any) to give your bride special something before the wedding.
If you’ve got room in the
wedding budget to make a purchase, here are a few recommendations:
Jewelry
• Pair of
diamond earrings to match her
engagement ring/wedding band
• Necklace to match her
wedding dress (make sure she hasn’t already picked one out)
• A bracelet to wear down the aisle
Non-jewelry (because who isn’t sick of jewelry stores by now)
• A framed family photo of you and the bride that she can display at work or in her office
•
Digital camera or camcorder for the honeymoon
• Dress and matching
heels to wear to dinner on the first night of the
honeymoon
• Create a photo scrapbook of your love story
• Gift certificate for a spa or manicure/pedicure
• Season tickets to the couple’s favorite team (works great as a
gift for the groom as well)
Sentimental gift ideas that don’t cost anything (Free = good)
• Write your own heartfelt vows
• Prepare a home cooked candlelit dinner before the wedding festivities start. Call it your
last date night as fiancés.
• For the artistic minded, write her poetry or paint a picture for your home
