Didn't know that it was tradition to get your groom a pressie? What do you get? Really stuck! Also I want to get something special for my sister (maid of honour) and mum and dad? What are you all doing?

It’s so great to find that one special person

i have bought Mr lala ...
silver sixpences cufflinks .. minted the year he was born and fret cut a solid silver fob watch and chain a gold,pearl,and diamond tie pin
Think traditionally the groom buys just the bride a gift but people seem to do whatever suits them. We said we weren't going to bother but secretly we both did :-)
I got mine an ipod and had a laser engraved message put on the back and spent hours secretly loading all his mucis on so he could listen on the plane to our honeymoon.
Got my 2 bridesmaids a necklace to go with their outfits which i gave them on the day, but presented them both with watches during speeches and had them both a thank you for being my bridesmaid card from **************. But I know people that have bought groupon spa experience vouchers for theirs.

PS sorry forgot i bought my mom a white gold necklace and dad a watch. xx
I didnt want to go with the traditional cufflink idea so i am getting him a personal photobook made of our life together so far. It isnt expensive and is very personal and professionaly put together. You just go the website, put in your words, upload your photos and your done! Im hoping he will love it!
CommentAuthormcquire81
Oh and the bridesmaids will be getting a necklace that they can wear on the day too :-)
CommentAuthorDee37
What a lovely idea mcquire he will love that I am sure.
Those photobooks are great, think we're going to do one of our honeymoon pics x
CommentAuthormcquire81
Yeah i think its a bit different and will chart our relationship together along with some romantic and personal wording from me :-) I had a photoletter done for christmas morning to trial it and i was really pleased with the results :-)

My bridesmaids are all having tiffany hearts necklaces ...all different though as they are my 3 daughters..... my son was the hard one .. he has no use for a hipflask and i have bought him a fab watch a couple of years ago so after a long think about what he would appricate the most i have decided to wipe out his debt to me, i figured he would benefir far more from that than having something sat on a shelf gathering dust
That's nice paying for the room and i'm sure they will really appreciate the goodie bag. Seeing the state my dad ended up in as he doesn't drink much maybe a box of alkaseltzer in the basket too :-) x

im planning on booking h2b in for a tattoo as my prezzy- we both love them and have agreed not to have anymore till after the wedding because were saving and he's itching to add to his collection, guna design one as a suprise all ready for him :0) ... not sure about the bridesmaids yet, im buying their dresses and was thinking maybe some make up as were having our make up done in a department store so was thinking of purchasing them some 'posh' make up from them. mil and fil have been so great really want to get them something special xx
CommentAuthorSkamer
I have spoken to our photographer and we are doing a boudoir shoot as a gift for my h2b. I do like the idea of a goodie bag in the rooms, I might extend it to my moh as well.

Mcquire, that sounds like a great idea, what website do you get that done on?
Fairy Cakes, I love that idea! My h2b loves tattoos aswell and hes desperate to get more, only prob is he wants a whole sleeve done down his arm next, that wud cost a bomb so i'll have to think about it...
Thanks everyone else for all your ideas, got some great ones there! xxx

I'm doing a boudoir photoshoot, and getting a picture printed for y H2B also thinking of maybe putting together some of this fave things in a goodie bag, (as mentioned about) for the night and next day. His fave alcoholic drink, chocolates, maybe some cuff links, and anything that I see over the next 9 months that I think he'd like. Also planning on getting him a really nice card, from an online card making complany, funky pig ;)
Getting my bridesmaid a tiffany necklace from the discount shop online, to keep costs down. Also the dresses are just simple black dresses that can be worn any time, i'm just adding a pink flower to them for the day.
Were giving the MOB and MIL a table center each, as i'm making them myself, so thought that would be a nice gift. As its being made with fake flowers so will last forever as a memory of the day :)
Best man, we're still not sure of what to get his, as he's been such a great help towards the wedding so far, so we want to get him something extra special. But have no ideas!! as he's got everything!

I was gonna do a boudoir photography shoot for mine but photographer let me down last minute :-(
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D
CommentAuthorfairy-cakes
yea h2b wants his other arm done but guna scale it down a little hehe... he got a swallow with my name in when we got engaged (i copied it and have used the swallow as the theme for the wedding on the stationary) so was thinking more along them lines.... i do like this idea of a basket in the room for the parents though the more i think about it so might borrow that one lol x
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
Here are all nice ideas but none for me or us :-(
My bms will probably all get a necklace with their name spelled out in the colour of their bm dress (all different). Not a 1005 decided but I think it will be this. Still no clue about h2b. Parents can be thought of just haven't done this yet :-)
It’s so great to find that one special person

CommentAuthortillyturtle
were presenting our mothers with trinket boxes, engraved with the wedding date during the speeches. my bm will recive her gift of necklace and earings before the wedding and all the men (bm, ushers etc) will recive socks with their 'job' on hehe so best mands sock says best man, and rob will just mention that he hopes all the men and my sister like their little gifts during the speech. I dont no what to give my h2b on the day of the wedding so i mite just pay for him to do something when he gets back as hes very outdoorsy so maybe a sky dive or something.

Our mothers we are getting wooden memory boxes with our names and the date on the front so they can put momento's in after the day like an invite a menu etc but on the day there will be their favour which is a silver compact mirror, a little heart keyring, a crystal rose, a engraved wine goblet and a thank you card! They will also take home one of the centre pieces as we are using these as thank yous as well. Might be a few other little bits yet not decided. The dads not decided yet nor have we decided for the ushers but the bridesmaids will have similar to the mums but in tote bags and they will also have the favour with mini lipstick and perfume, a thank you card, a butterfly keyring, and an engraved crystal plague. They will also get a necklace and bracelet set that they can wear on the day!

I'm doing the boudoir shoot too. Giving my best man the envelope to make sure my h2b has a little taste of whats to come later in the day :) x
CommentAuthorA.Bird2b
h2b is getting a pocketwatch on a chain, my sisters (who are stars helping me to organise everything) are getting antique cameo broaches and my mother and mil2b are getting hampers of homemade jam and chutney, Oh and the flowergirls are getting little goody bags full of things to do. I did think of doing the boudoir shoot for h2b, but the nearest place was just too far away for me. And the gift for me is to get married to the most perfect fella in the world, i think i get the best pressie!
