Ok ladies I made the scary decision to take Boudoir pictures for my FI. However I am torn to when I should give them to him...
As I have posted before my FI and I are long distance (I'm in MN he is in OK) and will be until the wedding in May. With that thought I figured he would appreciate it more having them before we move in together thus making it a great Christmas Present.
However my orig thought was to do it as a Wedding gift making it more special... What do you ladies think?

    When I originally read this I was going to say on the wedding as I think it makes a really fun wedding present. However, I think the fact that you are long distance makes this different - I think it would be a great way to contact over the distance and feel closer to eachother - so my vote went to Christmas!

    Don't take this the wrong way but my opinion is....if he has already seen you "all natural" than I would give it to him for Christmas, but if he hasn't seen you bare and you are waiting for all of that until the wedding, I would wait until the wedding, otherwise that would be a MAJOR tease for him! haha, and might even make it harder to wait when you do see each other.

    I'm gonna do mine as a gift for our first anniversary. A.) It'll be completely unexpected for him, B.) It'll help to keep me motivated to work out haha.

    I did mine last November, and gave the to him for Christmas instead of waiting until our wedding in May.  I was SO EXCITED Ito give them to him that there was no way I could have waited that long.

    You could always leave a couple of the pictures out of the album and give them to him right before the wedding.  When I know Steve has had a bad day I like to sneak one into his pocket.  :)

    I am kind of in the same situation. I live in MN and my FI lives in Iowa. I am going to give them to him as soon as I am finished making my little scrapbook out of them :) maybe it will help lessen the loneliness!
