Will it be ok to not get my fiance a birthday present so near to the wedding?

Question

his birthday is 6 weeks before the wedding and all our money is going towards saving for it. i was thinking of taking him out to his fave restauraunt for a meal but as far as gifts go was only going to get him something small as like i said all my wages will be going towards the wedding but i feel bad...should i splash out and not put as much towards the wedidng that month?

Answer 1

I guess the best way to answer this question would be to answer it yourself.  Would you be o.k. receiving a smaller gift for your birthday knowing full well that the bulk is being used toward your future life together?  Of course it's o.k. to give him a smaller gift!  Best of Luck in your upcoming marriage!

Answer 2

Bloody h**l a little gift wont hurt will it?

Missy.... I'm only joking!!

Answer 3

He should still get the same gift as normal. It's like when someone's birthday is near Christmas and people think its alright to get them something little since christmas is coming up, compared to what they give others for their bday. And I know some people that situation, they find it offensive. If you don't want to spend as much, just ask him if its alright. Hopefully you have open enough communication for that much since you are getting married.

Answer 4

That sounds good diner sounds relaxing and that is just what you guys need and buy him a little something if there is any thing he collects or something he has been wanting or likes.

Answer 5

yeahh just get something small and not expensive he obviously understands that the wedding is coming up oh and congrats on your wedding :) x

Answer 6

Yes it perfectly fine to gift something small as its not the price of the gift matters its the feelings and the love that count.

So don't worry i am sure he will not mind

Answer 7

why don't you talk to HIM about this?

Answer 8

Get creative...you don't have to spend money to celebrate.

Call some of his family and friends over to chill with your fiance...they'll bring goodies.

Write a poem and recite it to him. He'll remember that for the rest of his life.

Put on some s**y clothes and seduce him with dancing and other stuff. Oooo, find a white dress (not the wedding dress) and let him practice the wedding night. He'll be SO into the wedding from then on.

FInd a picture of you two and frame it.

I tried to find a site with creative birthday gifts, but there are too many! So I linked the google search.

Answer 9

you can do something special and not spend a lot.  Do dinner at home, make a great meal, jsut the two of you, rent some of his favorite movies, give him a samll gift and them paper him with a back massage!

Answer 10

I think treating yourselves to a nice quiet dinner at a restaurant would be a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend your time 6 weeks before your wedding.  Good idea!

Answer 11

yes, that is fine, if you take him out for a meal and then buy him a little something to open that will be fine.  He will understand that your both saving for the wedding.  Also you can make it extra special by treating him nice, and making a fuss over him, and that doesnt cost anything.

Good Luck with the wedding

Answer 12

Why not go romantic on him.  Buy him small inexpensive gifts, wrap them individually then bundle them all together.  Write out in calligraphy  (or make on the computer or have a friend with pretty hand writing fill out) gift tags and place with the gift.   Get inventive!!

Candle-You are so hot

Fancy lighter-You light my fire

Candy-You are so sweet

Cuddly toy-I love to cuddle

Warm shirt, blanket, hoodie etc-You Keep me warm and safe

s**y undies for him-s**y undies for my s**y man

Etc etc etc...get creative!

Make him dinner, then sit in his lap and feed him.  

Birthdays are not always about the money...but the thought that goes into them I think.

Though, I can say from experiance....it hurts when the person you love gives you a card and a kiss and considers that your birthday present. (Oh man...does that make me shallow??)

Answer 13

My fiance made a no birthday present pact this year since his birthday is next week, three weeks before our wedding and mine is 10 days after.  We are just doing cards and dinner (and a visit to NFL training camp for the Eagles apparently) but no gifts.  Maybe you guys could work out the same kind of thing?

Answer 14

A beautiful card and a nice dinner or something small to wear at the wedding (cuff links?) would be nice :)

Answer 15

i think it is fine especially if you make him something as homemade gifts are the most apprechiated.

He won't care! Its from you x

Good luck with the wedding

Answer 16

Its his Birthday

Buy him a present

Answer 17

I'd say stick with a small present but then make a big splash with things you can do for free... i suggest breakfast in bed to start off with (assuming you have keys to his house).  A good back/neck massage, a walk in the park or whatever he loves to do, vege out infront of the TV with him controlling the remote 100%... and you handing him his beer and chips... that kind of thing...

I also suggest making a "coupon" book that he can claim after the wedding - like, "fun in bed with whipped cream"... that kind of stuff.

Congratulations and Good luck!

Answer 18

i think it's ok to get a small present instead of big splash since you both are saving for the wedding. it would be weird if you get nothing at all.

Answer 19

I hear you...my fiance's birthday is a mere 3 and a half weeks before our wedding, but I'd feel terrible not getting him a present at all.  I think I'm still going to get him a small gift, maybe something he can use on the honeymoon (like I could pay for an activity like swimming with dolphins or snorkeling or something).  It won't be as elaborate as his b-day gifts have been in years past, but he still needs to know that I remembered his special day, regardless of all the wedding madness.

Besides, if he can buy b-day gifts for me every year just one short month after Christmas and three short weeks before Valentine's Day, I can cough up a present even though I'm a bit tapped from wedding expenses. : )  Go with the small gift and dinner out- he'll be fine with it as long as you celebrate his special day somehow.

Answer 20

Meany !! lol

Answer 21

Take him out to dinner.. then, when you get home...you be the present!  Get a big bow and put it on..let him unwrap you for his birthday!
