Getting married soon and not too sure what to get as a gift for my wife-to-be to open on the morning of the wedding. Looking for any suggestions/inspiration!

  1. Is this a thing? I recently got married and we didn’t get gifts for each other. We were too busy getting ready the morning of!

  2. A hamper of snacks and treats for her and her bridesmaids to eat while getting ready.

    A new perfume (if you know what she’d like) so she can wear it on that day and have a scent that remind you both of your wedding in future.

    Whatever you get I think a handwritten note saying how excited you are to marry her will be very special.

  3. I wasn’t expecting it and was totally floored when my husband got me a signed first edition of one of my favourite books! Obviously depends on your wife-to-be being a book nerd…

  4. I didn’t know this was a thing and would be confused at the point given its the wedding day

  5. Get on Etsy/not on the high street . Full of sentimental stuff that’s she’ll love.

    Give it to the mother of the bride to give her in the morning

  6. Gave my wife a pearl necklace on the morning of the wedding.

    She wasn’t best pleased as the wedding dress was on hire.

  7. Which ever genius said Hamper and perfume is absolutely spot on. Often it’s so chaotic that eating gets forgotten so little snacks a bottle of bubbly and a perfume would be immense

  8. My cousin got his wife a card that had a photo of their new puppy in it! Puppy was wearing a tuxedo style bib.

    An embroidered handkerchief is a nice idea.

  9. I wrote a letter to my now husband everyday for a year in a diary and filled it with photos too. I gave it to him the night before the wedding.

  10. “It’s going to be a quiet day so I got you this to stop you getting bored”

    What else is needed on a wedding day but the day itself?

  11. My husband didn’t get my anything but I got him a a small bottle of a new whiskey and some personalised shot glasses for him, his best man and his dad. Best man forgot to give him it in the morning of the wedding so he got it after the ceremony. I did get a lovely good morning message from my now husband on the morning of the wedding, which was enough to make me smile. Depends what your fiancée is interested in, but it will be a very busy morning so I suggest something small

  12. Her fav breakfast food that she can eat easily. Like a pastry or the like. It’s hard to remember to eat but it makes ye feel better when you do.

  13. I got my wife a bracelet from Tiffany’s. Just a small pearl type bracelet thing.

    She had no idea she was getting anything so it was a lovely little surprise on the day 🙂

  14. We both bought designer sunglasses for our honeymoon, both pairs are still going strong 9.5 years later!

  15. My friend’s now husband bought a new bottle of her favourite perfume to open and wrote a lovely letter 🥰

  16. My husband sent the best man over to deliver champagne to me and the bridesmaids, along with a really posh perfume

  17. We bought the male and female versions of perfume / cologne for each other, which became the scent of the wedding for us. We wear them each anniversary. Scents are time machines.

  18. My brother got his wife to be a set from Jo Malone, new scent with a candle with the same scent so the memories could be re kindled with the candle.

    The hamper is potentially a good idea but the MOH did that at this wedding.

  19. Assuming you’re staying at different places from each other the night before, have flowers delivered to wherever she is the morning of the wedding.

  20. I bought my husband a wooden watch that I had inscribed, and he bought me a football shirt with the year we got married, and my new surname. I was so happy when I wore it to our first game.

  21. Anything that will show how much you love and care for her. I think a simple rose is enough. Gradually try to understand her interests and then decide what to give her. Make a plan and surprise her with a sudden gift of her favourite things. For example, you can make a plan to gift her a [handcrafted sketch](https://mydreamlines.com/) of her dress created from the best wedding photos about which she discussed with you, I am sure it will bring her into happy tears. or anything creative that you know your wife will prefer. Good Luck!
