 |
|
| I have NO idea what to get my fiance for the wedding gift. Our wedding isn't until July, 2009 but I don't want to leave it until the last minute. He already has a nice watch, and isn't really into any other type of jewelry. He LOVES baseball, so I was thinking something to do with that, but I don't know what a guy would actually want and what I could give that has sentimental value as well. I'm from Canada (he's American, but we're moving to Canada after the wedding), so tickets to a game isn't really an option. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? It doesn't have to be baseball related, just thought I'd throw his hobby out there as an idea.Also, when do I actually give him the gift? Before the ceremony or after the day is over? If before, how do I get it to him without him seeing me? |

| We gave each other our lives together. I know it sounds cheesy, but we wanted to save up for a house, and we had already spend money on the wedding, so gifts would have just been an added expense that we didn't feel we needed. |

| This may be a stupid idea or rather stupid as far as what I did for my fiance once for a gift (it was thought out and from the heart though). I got an autographed picture of our favorite football team (or you could do player) you can write his favorite team - publicity dept or just the team itself and they will usually send you a picture - explain what a huge fan he is and you would like to see about getting a picture. Of course the autographs are not real (photocopied) and put in a frame with other sentimental things like ticket stubs or whatever (or memorbillia that could be put in there ( you could get off off that auction site that starts with an E - I can't say the name or my answer will get deleted by yahoo answers as solicitation- they do that to me when I mention something to help people find something or whatever). I put in his ticket stubs from games we attended together and stuff. It was kind of like a framed collage of a sort. So if he still has any ticket stubs from a game he attended you could get it and put in there in a real nice frame for him. I don't know, but the idea may give you a start to your own idea of some sort. Sorry I couldn't be more of help. Good luck. |

| My Fi is a die hard cubs fan. I was planning on getting him cufflinks made from the seats at wrigley field. Check out the link below, they may have something that works for you. I know they do a few other things similar to that as well.. Give it to a bridesmaid or your MOH, even your mom and have them pass it over to him as you're getting ready.. or just give it to him yourself the rehearsal night. |

| I bought my FI a 21 year old bottle of Scotch for our two year anniversary. We get married next month, so it is sort of our anniversary/wedding present. |

| Something baseball related would be great. A signed jersey or baseball or a book on all the baseball greats. Another nice thing is a tie pin for his tie in the wedding. You give the gift usually after the rehearsal. |

| Generally the gift is given right before the ceremony, when you both are in your separate rooms. Have your maid of honor deliver it or a family member. |
