What to buy my wife-to-be on morning of wedding?

Question

I am getting married in 2 weeks time and am looking to buy my wife-t0-be a little gift which she can open on the morning of the wedding. Nothing too expensive but a little something she can have as a keepsake for years to come. I'm really struggling to think of much apart from the usual like jewellery. Any decent ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

www.personalizationmall.com has great gifts and www.thingsremembered.com also has great gifts but they are more expensive.

Answer 2

make a scrpbook of memories that you guys had and then at the end leave a few pages for your future and you and her can fill it out during your honeymoon or however you want

Answer 3

How about an embroidered handkerchief with maybe your names and wedding date on it ...then she can carry it down the aisle with her and use it to dab her eyes during the ceremony.

Answer 4

A wine glass that's been engraved with her NEW name.

Answer 5

I like Mrs. Maintainence's idea.  Something to incorporate her new married name.  The wine glass is nice.  Maybe a sign for your house that says "The Smith's" (insert married last night)?  

Answer 6

A teddy bear that says "i love you" on it.

This is what a friend of mine did, and it went over SO well. He got a beautiful journal and wrote the text of their vows in the front (they wrote their own vows and shared them with each other beforehand, but you could use the normal standard wedding vows). Then in the pages that followed, he scattered lyrics from their favorite songs, memories of special times that they had spent together, notes about how happy he was that she was going to be part of his life forever, pasted photos of the two of them, etc. He left some of the pages blank so that she could write in it as a journal.

Another idea would be to find a first edition or antique copy of her favorite book or something by her favorite author (eBay has all kinds) and write a heartfelt inscription in the front.

Answer 8

Are her parents around -- or yours? Go to the mother of either you or your wife or both and try to find something from early childhood, a favorite blanket or doll or if you can pry it out of her mom's hand,  maybe something she has forgotten but has always cherished, or a lock of hair from you both. Maybe some old black-and-white photos. Maybe something you'll know will have in your wedding.

then go to a good frame shop and  get them to mount it nicely. Have the frame or shadowbox engraved with something super romantic, something you sit down and think about and that is an original thought -- maybe an inside, lovers joke thing -- about from the beginning, you were the woman of my dreams, I don't know.

Women Don't like diamonds nearly as much as they like something they can show their girlfriend that is manly-sentimental, romantic and takes a whole lot of thought and shows how much you put into it. I think women like things that are sentimental and don't appear to have cost that much, but they actually know that the time and the quality of of like the frame shop are top (in other words don't try to do it yourself there, by going to walmart) And women get all gooey when they think you went and planned soemthing special by going to their mothers or getting something from yours. I don't know. I'm a woman and it doesn't make sense to me,  my husband is rarely romantic, but always pulls off the greatest romantic feats and diamonds haven't been involved in five years.

Okay, diamonds are nice, too.  

Answer 9

perfume that she doesn't already have...  something light, possibly floral...  a good wedding day scent is sheer veil by vera wang.  its a nice sentiment because everytime she wears it from that day on, it will remind you both of your wedding day!

Answer 10

Maybe like a Necklaces with like a locket maybe with a picture of you two when you first started dating thats really sweet that you want to do this
