Men's wedding ring

I just bought my fiance wedding ring. I have an engagement party on 81812 should I give it to him then or wait till the day of the wedding. I am so clueless

Usually you give him his wedding band on your wedding day.

You can do whatever. We're going to pick them out together.

H picked his out because he doesn't like jewelry and was very picky about something he was going to wear FOR-EV-ER.

Are you asking about showing him? I am kind of confused are you talking about a men's engagement ring? I would check with him before giving it to him in front of people to make sure it is something he wants to wear and he is okay with it.

H wore his wedding band on his right hand as an engagement ring before we got married, then it got switched to his left hand during our ceremony. If you want to give it to him now, that's fine, but if you're exchanging rings in your ceremony then you'll need to use it for that as well (or buy another one).

I don;t know if I'd GIVE it to him at the engagement party, but I'd definitely SHOW it to him. He'll be wearing it forever, so it would really suck if you put it on his hand on your wedding day and he made a sour face because he didn't like it...not sure how your photographer would capture that:-P

I know, this GOES AGAINST the fact that my engagement ring was a suprise, but unless you really, REALLY know his style and what he would want, I would show it to him before the wedding so you have the opportunity to return it if he doesn't like it or go and pick it out together (this is what we did, and we wound up choosing from two different stores).

We picked our wedding bands out together and just kept them in a drawer at home until the wedding day. So it wasn't a surprise for either one of us. If yours is a surprise (sounds like it might be? Not sure), I still think it's fine to give it to him on or right before the wedding day if you are sure he will like it. If not, show it to him beforehand.

If it is a surprise, have you talked to him about what type of ring he wants?

Does your fiance not know what his ring looks like? I find this fascinating. It never even crossed my mind to not pick out my own wedding ring or to pick his. In my mind, that's his choice to make.
