Groom's gift...

B2BMM

Bought FI a wallet -  he wanted one.  Now what should I put in it?  I am going to put some cash...but can anyone think of something else?

Maybe a photo of the two of you? Would that be ghey? FI has a silly note I scribbled onto register paper from 7 years ago folded up in his wallet. He refuses to get rid of it. Maybe something special like that?

Cash?  That's kind of weird.  Like, hey, I'm paying you to marry me.Ditto the picture, maybe a sentimental note.  Not cash though.

cash seems kinda weird to me. but thats because i tend to think married couples sort of share money anyway, though in your case that may not neccessarily be true. i would put a nice letter for him in there, or gift cards for an activity he loves (gokarts, golf, etc)

Well - it's bad luck to leave it empty - not that I have to follow those silly rules...but I was going to put some cash and a note saying what the cash was for...we've had an inside joke going for awhile now and it would go along with the joke - as to what the cash was for.  But Idk, I wanted something else besides just the wallet.  He is getting me something more...

I second the gift card idea. I think that would be great. Something he can do with his boys.

a gift card to his favorate store or a store that you think is ridiculous to spend money at... but he loves.

Thanks!  I think I'll write a nice note and get a gift card!

Do you have a Jillian's or Dave & Busters by you? That would be awesome. Beer & Video Games. Every boy's dream.

B2BMM

Yeah...he's more into computer games though - so I know just what to get him.

a shiny new 2009 coin?That's what is done in my family but I don't really know why.  Something about being bad luck to give it empty.Along the line of not giving knives without a coin?  I don't know where that came from.
