For those of you that are gifting their FH something on wedding day- what are giving him? And if you’re a guy, what would you want? I’m considering a watch but it seems so predictable and I also don’t know of any really nice ones that aren’t a million dollars lol.

I’m giving him my lifelong commitment and affection. Definitely worth more than a million dollars.

Totally understandable. This post was intended for the ones who are though 😊

I am giving my FH an engraved pocket watch. He’s into that kind of thing (at least I hope!) and the engraving will make it more personalized. I spent about $200 in total so definitely don’t need to break the bank.

Other options might be cuff links or a decanter/glass set if your FH likes alcohol/mixology.

You can always just write him a heartfelt card also as that’s very personal.

I’m gifting my fiancé a needlepoint belt I’m hand stitching for him, with icons showing his/our favorite things and wedding date. My mom gave my dad a stunning antique Duke’s chair for their wedding (so random but cool). I feel like you can truly do anything that he’ll keep forever, not just something for the wedding day.
What about a pair of cuff links that feature something he loves?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue.

I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
