Gift for Fiance

So my fiance and I decided not to do gifts for one another as we didn't want the added expense and our gift is one another that day isnt it?  But I still want to do something small and meaningful.  Do you guys have any suggestions?  What are you doing for your fiance on the morning of the wedding, if anything.

    We are broke and I am just going to have someone deliver a card to him the morning of the wedding.

    I made DH a little book (8.5x11) pieces of paper folded in half.  I wrote a message to him on the first page.  Then I had pictures of funny things about being a wife (its my style to crack a joke and not be all mushy).  I had someone give it to him as he was getting ready that morning.I had pictures of the bride doing a keg stand, 'the good wife's guide', a wife carrying cases of beer while the husband walks w/o anything.  Stupid funny stuff.

    A card is a GREAT inexpensive way to get the thought a crossed.  I have also seen someone take a picture of a the place they met or where he proposed and have it framed with a nice note written on it.

    Oh, I have also seen someone purchase a calendar for the following year and write a different message on each day.

    this is kind of an inside thing btwn FI and i, but i'm going to find a (nice) rock, and write our wedding date on it. it goes way back to when we first started dating, its free, and it has a lot of meaning. i'm sure there's something in your relationship that's meaningful that you can allude to, either in a card or otherwise :-) GL

    I'm not sure why you all think your FI are all mushy lovey dovey like this. They aren't. They're guys. They think this stuff is gay. Buy him a flask and fill it with his favorite whiskey. Or buy him tickets to see a good concert.

    I second the alcohol- any guy getting ready to marry would love anything that takes the edge off.That being said, I think you should find something meaningful AND funny, because not all are not mushy- I know my FI has repeatedly said he wants me to write him a letter and find an appropriate card for the day of.  But also, add that touch of humor, and it will help take the "gay-ness" out of receiving something he personally thinks is awesome, but doesn't want the guys to know.I hope that made sense.

    I got my husband 3 things: Bagpiper - it was a HUGE surprise and he was SOO HAPPY about it! I think he shed a few tears when he found it wasfor him!Photo - I took his favorite photo from our engagement photosin B&W and wrote on the back in 100 different languages, "I love you".  It turned out so cool.Dressed up stuffed animal - The first stuffed animal he gaveme was a gorilla.  I bought a black bow tie and "dressed himup!" There are pictures of my DH laughing @ this.

    How can a gift have a sexual orientation?  Confused.

    for the record, the rock doesn't have a mushy connotation. it will (hopefully) make him laugh his head off. but it still has meaning, so it has the mush factor for my sake anyway.

    I've seen girls have sexy pin-up portraits taken ahead of time-  ... and if you are anything like me, you'll want them airbrushed and they do that as well.   And PS - these are NOT trashy photos... I've seen finished products and they come out looking super HOT!Check out www.kamilaharrisboudoir.comorwww.pinkkittystudios.comBoth very different styles.

    Yes but boudoir pictures are not cheap!  I just spent $400 on them not including the outfits and jewlery!

    I bought 'him' (but really me) a 54 inch flat screen TV, now, he thought THAT was thoughtful!! But, in all reality, we didn't get each other anything, we spent enough time and money on the wedding, that's all I needed anyways.
