    Hi,

    I am getting married in a months time and have no clue what present to get my Wife for the wedding day? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    A nice photo album of your memories to this point might be nice.

    Very thoughtful if she likes that sort of thing.

    Might be a silly question but have you both agreed to give each other gifts?

    It has been mentioned yes, but not agreed.

    I gave my wife a small diamond cross necklace; gave it to her in the car after the church (I'm resisting the Ooooh errr missus reference!). It was a complete surprise and she loved it and still wears it 18 years later. It wasn't expensive but it was for me at the time (if you get me).

    Best thing I ever did - she still tells our kids about it.

    I gave my wife a wedding ring charm for her charm bracelet. I originally proposed with the engagement ring charm so it had that extra layer of meaning for us. It doesn't need to be expensive - thoughtful wins the day here.

    My husband gave me a new bottle of perfume. The scent always reminds me of our wedding.

    Is it the norm for the bride and groom to exchange gifts? Seems odd to me...

    I hope it's not as I hadn't planned for it.

    That's the reason I asked - I know it's something that's floated around these days, but I will be having a quick word with my OH to let him know that I'd rather if we don't do it. There will be enough special things happening on the day without us needing to buy something for each other.

    I gave her a nice watch and bracelet...

    I'm wondering about this too.

    She has quite a lot of necklaces/bracelets, and received more gifts of the same for her 30th birthday a few months ago. But I suppose it is probably the one gift that has longevity.

    I'm also worried it will be another thing I have to think about on the day, so thinking of maybe leaving a gift for her at her parent's house for the morning of?

    It seems a bit surplus to requirements, imo. You're getting married - is that not pretty much the best gift you could ever give eachother anyway???

    I would have thought so too!

    I'm sure she wouldn't notice if I didn't give her a gift, but at the same time, might be a nice surprise on the morning!

    A Limerick jersey!

    My husband got me the earrings i wore on our wedding day.
    Speak to her bridesmaids for ideas.

    If going on honeymoon, might be nice to buy something special whilst on it.

    We agreed not to do it. Where was enough going on with the wedding, honeymoon and we were building a house without adding another expense/thing to do on top of it. Plenty of anniversary’s ahead for presents.
