Something To Use On Your Wedding Day
Give him something that he can use on your wedding day, that can either be a keepsake or something he will use again.
Cologne
Help remember your special day with every spray. You don’t have to go with a love themed cologne but I went with the Tiffany Love Cologne for my husband and bought myself the matching scent for her. I counted it as my” something blue”. It’s light and fresh and who doesn’t want something from Tiffany’s on their wedding day?
Cufflinks
Did you know that you can engrave your own message in your own writing on a cufflink? I saw this and had to have it. I practiced a million times on a piece of paper but I think this shop did a great job! Get yours HERE.
Socks
There are so many cute sock options on Etsy with cute wedding related puns: “In case you get cold feet” or “One step closer to our forever” , “Stepping into forever”. Wedding day socks are a practical gift idea and also a keepsake. Plus your photographer is bound to photograph it too. I got my husband the ones pictured above. Get yours HERE.
Watch
A watch is always a great gift idea. He can wear it on your wedding day and for years to come. You can also pair it with a cute time related pun like:
“Time flies when you’re in love”
“Can’t wait to spend a lifetime with you”
“I’ll love you long time”
Something Romantic
Romance is always a nice gesture. What day is more romantic than your wedding day?
Boudoir Photos
If you’re doing a boudoir photo shoot, give your groom some of these photos then. You could make a photobook using Shutterfly or Snapfish for him to open on the morning of the wedding. Be sure to include a note that lets him know it’s for his eyes only.
Lingerie
Wrap up your wedding lingerie to give him the morning of the wedding.
Something Sentimental
Sometimes your thoughtful words or previous memories are the best gifts.
Card
Write your groom a love note to read on the morning of your wedding. This is especially a good idea to write each other personal vows if you don’t want to share personal vows in front of your wedding guests at your ceremony. You’ll be able to keep them forever. Have your photographer capture this sentimental moment on camera if you’d like.

Photo
If you have a memory that means a lot to you, frame it.
Something He’s Been Wanting
Get him that thing he’s been talking about wanting, whether it be a new video game, a new golf club, or shoes. If he’s been talking about wanting it, it’s probably a good gift idea.
Something To Do Together
Get him something you can do together to start making new memories as husband and wife. Plus it’s sort of a gift for you too.
Cooking Class
The key to most mens’ hearts is through their stomach. This is such a cute and fun date night idea you can do together and hopefully take away something from the experience to improve your cooking skills. If you can find a Sur La Table in your area, they offer date night cooking classes, or Groupon is a safe bet.
Couples Massage
Let’s face it, planning and financing a wedding can be stressful. Decompress with a couples massage together. It’s well deserved and a great gift.
Concert
If you and your significant other are music and concert lovers. Surprise him with a concert. It’s a great date night idea.
A Trip
Making memories together are the best gifts. If you aren’t going on a honeymoon right after your wedding or even if you are, surprise your groom with a trip.
