Gifts before ceremony

Are you/did you and your FI give gifts to each other before the ceremony? If so what did you give him? I want to send my MOH over with a gift for him but I'm having a hard time thinking of something. I know he would like something nautical with our wedding date engraved on it but I can't think of anything. Would love to hear your ideas.

  • I'm sending him a framed print of a painting he loves (that I hate) for his office.

    I'm thinking DJ Hero.  I will probably arrange for one of his GMs to deliver it to him.
  • We made our rings as a gift to each other. Soo...we gave them to each other at the ceremony.

  • I haven't actually purchased them yet, but I'm planning to get FI tickets to the SEC Championship, which is a month after our wedding.

  • We didn't get each other anything.
  • If you want to give him a gift before the ceremony, get him something personal that you know he will cherish forever. I'm thinking about going to an old photo booth and taking four pictures holding signs in each one... This is what it will say...

    Pic #2 Wait to
    Pic #3 Marry
    Pic #4 You!!!!

    Simple, yet cute and I know he will love it!

  • PS: I didn't think of that idea on my own, I found it on another website and I don't want to take credit for something someone else came up with!
  • You could do boudoir  pictures. That would be a surprise and a half.

  • I gave my DH a cool 25th anniversary edition LC-A Lomography camera.  He loved it and we took a ton of pics with it on the HM.
  • I'm giving FI a framed, autographed print of his favorite baseball player making a huge play (for those interested, Willie Mays "the Catch"). he's getting me a new iPod because mine is a piece and there isn't enough space.

  • I gave FI a vintage railroad poster of Glacier National Park (we took the train out there for our honeymoon).

    Your idea or not, that is super cute!

    I was thinking of the whole boudoir pic thing...I just don't think I could do it. I want to but I'm too scared!
