With all the wedding planning and all the hype before the big day, getting a gift for your soon-to-be spouse may be the last thing on your mind. Exchanging something special can alleviate some of the wedding stress! This tradition of buying a gift can be fun and so heartwarming right before the exchange of vows – and who doesn’t want their spouse to tear up a little before walking down the aisle?
We’re here to help with ideas that will make this special pre-ceremony tradition one that you both will remember forever. These gifts don’t have to be expensive or extravagant to be meaningful and let’s face it, the wedding in itself covers that. Something sentimental or personalized is the way to go! Think about what makes you a couple. What do you like to do together? What reminds you of each other?
Here are a few gift ideas and ways to make it personal:
Is your partner always late? Maybe a new watch is in order… and don’t forget to engrave or emboss it!
You can’t go wrong with jewelry on this day – make it special by choosing something they can wear every day.
Like going to the beach or being outdoors? Consider a Yeti cooler or drink tumbler. Does your significant other love sports? Surprise them with something to represent their favorite team.
Does your partner love adventure and functionality? A pocket knife or multi tool that they can keep in their pocket everyday sounds like a perfect gift!
Are you going on a honeymoon? A stylish yet functional travel bag or maybe even those expensive sunglasses you can’t justify buying on a “regular” day are perfect for your getaway and future travel excursions.
Each of these items can be easily personalized by a simple engraving or embossing - choose something that will put a smile on your partner’s face. Go beyond the typical wedding date and engrave your favorite saying to each other, their nickname or even the title of your wedding song! Also, don’t forget to write a note to let your partner know the meaning of your gift.
Remember, make this process fun and heartwarming and choose a gift that shows your partner how well you know them and how much you cherish their love.
