1-Do all of your FI's automatically know they have to give you a wedding present? I know mine would if he knew it was the norm but i just feel awkard asking "are you gonna get me a wedding gift?" lol

Lololol.

Well, you guys don't have to go with this tradition. I blatently told FI I wanted a bracelet to wear that day, but I think we might just skip this tradition in order to save $$$.

I blatanlty told him. I dont know what I want yet for it but we have time...I keep telling him tho we have to get something for each other on our wedding day....Hes just like ok what do you want...Guys dont realize it so it wouldnt hurt to say something to him.

we didn't get anything for eachother... we just wrote notes to eachother to read the morning of the wedding. (he got me flowers..)

Yea I know my FI probably won't know unless I tell him. You could try dropping hints about what you want, but if your FI is as clueless mine he probably won't figure it out. So I am planning on buying his early and telling him I got him a great present to give him on our wedding day and I can't wait to give it to him. Then he will figure out he should get me one too (hopefully).

Or if you are close to any of his friends you could mention it to them in hopes that they will tell him.

Courtney, that is a cute idea writing notes, I think I might do that....thanks for sharing.

hahaha - I've told him all I want is a card that morning (I love when he writes to me) and he said - duhhhh, you know you'll get something out.

But what are you all getting him?? I'll probably send over a big bottle of champagne for his friends to toast while getting ready? and maybe a cool excursion for our honeymoon?

I think I just told him flat out that we're supposed to get eachother something on the wedding day. Or maybe I asked him if we should get eachother something on the wedding day.

It depends on our budget though, really

I told him I'm getting him the best gift he will ever get so he had better return the favor

I told him he had to get me a gift and it was all news to him, I know he'll think of something great.

I'm going to get him this new golf club where the head changes positions according to the swing...I dont know if I am explaining it correctly. Either that or a round of golf on an amazing course down here. Maybe a lesson with a pro? Something golf related thats just for him.

in jewish tradition the groom is supposed to give the bride candlesticks and the bride is supposed to give the groom a prayer shawl. so i have mine covered. good luck!!!

I did the same thing as Sara.  I am giving him the B-pics and probably something else as well.  I sort of feel like the B-pics are for me too.

I told him he had to write me a love letter like they do in the movies...lol.

FI said to me "stac we dont have to do all that stuff you know, we can just be us" I think it really all depends on what you want to do. I think I might do those B pics for him and if he doesnt get me anything he doesnt get me anything im not worried about it!  But if you want o just mention how a friend of yours FI bought her this that or the 3rd on their wedding day and she got him whatever...that might point him in the right direction
