When do the bride and groom exchange wedding gifts?

Question

Before or after the wedding?

Answer 1

It depends when YOU TWO want to do it! However, I think before is best!

Answer 2

I don't remember if we even did that....   and it's only been five years. We don't need occasions to give eachother gifts.  

Answer 3

In my case it was after I was digging for something under the bed and someone decided he was done trying to hide my gift.

There’s no set time though. You can do it at any point you’d like.

Answer 4

I was always told the morning of the wediing but I gave my husbands gift to one of the groomsmen the night before..i gave him a watch and guess what he got me....nothing :)

Answer 5

Whenever you want.

Answer 6

You've exchanged rings, vows and spent money on a wedding...why do you need to exchange gifts also?  Let everyone else give the two of you gifts.

Answer 7

I'm giving him mine before.

Answer 8

Have the best man give it to him right before the wedding when they are getting ready for the ceremony it gives him something to think about while he is away from you.

Answer 9

I'm also doing it before.. but it depends what it is... if it's lingerie of course after.  I'm doing cuff links that I want him to wear.. so I'll probably give him them the night before.. I'm also making a scrap book, and don't want to lug it around.. so again probably the night before.

Answer 10

I've never heard of the bride and groom exchanging gifts but I guess after the rehearsal, the night before, would be best.  

Answer 11

After the wedding and reception is over

Answer 12

Usually before.

The bride's gift is often delivered by the Best Man, and the groom's gift is often delivered by the Maid/Matron of Honor.

Answer 13

Before the wedding but without seeing each other if you believe in that

Answer 14

I think a lot of people do it before the wedding on the wedding day with the best man and maid of honor doing the actual giving of the gift so the bride and groom don't see each other before the ceremony.  You could also do it at the rehearsal dinner.

My husband and I weren't going to exchange gifts but then when I was getting ready the morning of the wedding, one of the bridesmaids gave me a gift that was from him.

Answer 15

Before the Wedding.

Most people do it when you'll are apart getting ready.

They send the best man and the maid of honor to give the gifts.

Answer 16

We did it the night before, after our rehearsal dinner. Part of his gift was cuff links, and I wanted him to wear them the day of. He gave me the earrings I wore, so I needed to have them before.

Answer 17

you exchange them whenever you want to. my husband and i exchanged ours at our rehearsal dinner
