The Best Wedding Day Gifts for Your Groom
Wedding planning takes a good chunk of your time, and you’ll obsess over it for months. That means less time for the man who is soon to be your husband. When the wedding finally comes around, let him know that you’re still thinking of him with a special gift on the big day. If you need help coming up with ideas, we’ve compiled a list of winners to help you out.
A Watch or Customized Piece of Jewelry

One of the most traditional wedding day gifts that brides give their grooms is a watch. Of course, you don’t want it to be just some ordinary watch. Customize it with an engraving declaring your love for him, or get a matching watch for you so that you both remember your connection every time you wear them. An expensive looking watch or other pieces of jewelry, like cufflinks and tie clips, also work well. If it’s shiny and expensive, you can’t go wrong.
Some Spicy Intimate Clothing

As soon as you leave the wedding chapel and head out for your honeymoon, the groom is only going to have one thing on his mind. Surprise him with some intimate garments in a gift bag to tease him for a while before you get to your hotel. The anticipation this gift creates will make the first night together as a married couple more memorable and exciting.
A Gift that Reflects His Hobbies

If you think intimate clothing isn’t tactful and a watch isn’t personal, go for a gift that reflects your groom’s hobbies. For instance, if he is a huge sports fan, get tickets to see a game during your honeymoon. Make sure the gift is something he’ll really like and remember for a long time. You can find great gift ideas for him online for any hobby.
A Photobook with Pictures of Your Life Together

Photos help people remember special events in their lives. That’s why a photobook is a great gift for your groom. Every time he looks inside, he will remember your fabulous wedding day and how much he loves you. Include photos from any adventures you had together while dating. Make sure to throw in lots of candid shots that show both of your personalities. You can either create a photo album or scrapbook yourself or send some photos to a printer that create custom photobooks. Your groom will love the thought and attention.
A Keepsake from Your Wedding Day

Wedding keepsakes are also excellent wedding day gifts. Take trinkets from your ceremony and reception and put them in a shadow box, or put them together in some other fun way. Use things like embossed napkins, table decorations, wedding favors, and even dried flowers from your bouquet. You can make this keepsake gift in advance by asking your wedding planner to keep samples of everything for you. Then your husband can display the shadow box at work or somewhere in your home to remind him of his commitment to you.
Anything that Matches

Grooms love all the attention they get from people who find out you’re on your honeymoon. So make matching bride and groom shirts, hats, sashes, or anything else you can wear while you’re out having fun. Embossed bathrobes are also a great idea, and you can use them when you go to get a massage or just wear them around the hotel. Any gift that includes matching items is sure to be a winning gift on your wedding day.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on picking out the perfect gift for your groom. The important thing is that the gift is personal and shows that you care and were thinking about him. If you plan on getting a gift for your groom, make sure he knows so the gift giving is reciprocated.
