To gift, or not to gift...?

CFM102012

Last week I had a girls weekend with a couple of my BMs. We went to one of those places where you pick out a piece of pottery and decorate it and they fire it for you. I just picked mine up yesterday. It's a plate and in the center really big is FI's last name in red. In black and in a smaller "font" I have his name above and mine below. Around the rim of the plate in red I have our wedding date. 

The problem is I don't know what I want to do with it. I could give it to him as part of a wedding present but a "commemorative plate" seems like something you'd give a woman not to a man. My other thought is to have it be the plate we put that first piece of cake onto when we cut the wedding cake. I haven't told FI what it is and he has instructions not to peek until I say he can see it. What do you girls think? Should I make it part of his wedding present or have it be the cake plate? Or something else entirely?

Edited to fix the bad link. It should work now *link removed*

I would love to see the plate but the link is no good, I think your first slice is a good idea.

The plate looks really nice! I like the idea of using it for the first slice of cake. It's a unique idea and it makes it extra personal and meaningful for the two of you.

I like the idea of using it for the first slice of cake too! Very original.

My vote is for serving your cake on.  I think that its a really cute idea.

Another vote for eating your first piece of cake on it.

Thanks for your opinions girls. I showed the plate to FI and he liked it. Though he did say its more of an "us" thing than a "him' thing if that makes sense. We'll have the plate near the cake ready for use.
