None. Spending enough on wedding and honeymoon. Buying a piece of art or home decor on our honeymoon together, instead

Not planning to get him anything. We are already living together so whatever each of us wanted, we usually get. Plus, I think it's too cheesy.

I got him engraved cufflinks (one with our initials, the other with our wedding date). I did have to spill the beans early though so he wouldn’t buy any.

A Rolex

Thanks folks! I had already gotten him the Rolex for the engagement, and he has cuff links coming from his parents, he’ll get a ring on the wedding day so I think my only jewellery option is a necklace of sorts! I got him a simple silver chain, and a Lego bride and groom at the alter set (he really likes Lego 😂) I’ll put a nice handwritten letter with it - that was a nice touch suggested!

My partner and I are planning to elope. We want the wedding and the trip that will go with it to be for us. That being said, we want to throw a party of some kind to celebrate with our friends. We're pretty lost as far as the general etiquette around this goes. Do you have to tell venues it's for a "wedding" reception? Is it expected that we will still make a gift registry?

Getting married in September, have a vax only policy for guests.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette. I really do not want a gift from them at the wedding. Full disclosure, my fiancé and I have great paying jobs and my bridesmaids are grad students, artists, and teachers. How would you frame this? Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.
