Default What do you get your bride for a wedding gift
I have been racking my brain like crazy trying to think of a nice gift to give to my fiancée on our wedding day. Hoping a fresh set of ideas might push me in the right direction. Thanks

A resident card. Seriously though we were pretty poor college students so the though of a wedding present was out. We did go the a B&B for the weekend though.

Congratulations on your forth coming nuptials!

Our first date was to the san juan islands off washington state and first kiss was on a bench there down by the harbor. Trying to find a small wood bench would be cool.

Are you really asking this group for an idea of a "gift" to give your bride on your wedding day?

I'd go with a cookbook packed full of bacon recipes.



Did you know it's said that the marriage license fee is the smallest possible down payment on the longest possible installment plan?

Go for something like the bench. Something special that shows you actually gave a **** and thought a lot about it. Anyone can go buy a Mixer (Not in reference to what anyone said in here.) It's like going in Walmart and grabbing the first thing you see, ya know?

Do you have a buddy who's good with wood work and could help you make a bench?

For our first anniversary, I bought the Dr. Suess book, "Oh the places you'll go" and crossed out and re-wrote (I have good handwriting so it didn't look bad) the "I" and "you" to "we" and "us", and then wrote a really long love note on the first page. We didn't have a lot of money to work with, and it showed I actually put thought into it. That's my 25 year old opinion anyways.

A white washing machine and dryer to match her dress. Always a favorite!

Sorry, I can't be serious.

Or a scrub brush and knee pads.

Default Re: What do you get your bride for a wedding gift
I gave her a wedding ring. Oh, and a house. I bought the house a month before we married then worked together with her parents fixing it up a bit prior to the wedding.

Hoestly I think an additional gift is not mandatory. But, if I was going to get one I would aim for something with a lot of meaning rather than something shiny with a big price tag. Like something that was passed down in your family or something that has a connection to how you met or how you fell in love.
