What do you get your bride for a wedding gift

gettysburgfreak · 04-03-2014, 04:51 PM

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!

Kitchen appliances.

A baby in her belly!

Budget/range?

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

kelmac07 · 04-03-2014, 06:44 PM

Her own humidor.

A vacuum and pots/pans. Chicks dig that sort of stuff.

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?

jjirons69 · 04-03-2014, 08:33 PM

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

Sorry, I can't be serious.

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.

Access to your bank account.

Not looking to go crazy, maybe 150 bucks. Basically hoping someone knew of a neat unique item out there. Ive found things on etsy I like. We both are leo's and thats how we met but dont want to get something revolving around our job. 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.

Or a scrub brush and knee pads.

How about a vice grip with 2 walnuts in a gift wrapped box?

Seriously though, check out Pinterest for some cool ideas. How about a frame with the dates you met, started dating, and got married? Try to make it different by accentuating the font of the dates and a distressed wood frame. Instead of paper use some sort of burlap material.

Or you can also get the proverbial joint account at Costco.

Ok I played Dumb and asked the wife what a good wedding present from a groom to a bride would be. Her answer "Remember that look you gave me when you first saw me walking down the isle? That was the best present we got for our wedding."
