If you and FH are 100% paying for the wedding yourselves

Original post by JessNicole7EM

Are you still planning on exchanging gifts?

I was looking into this 60' flat screen for FH (which we'd both benefit from)

but my mom thinks it's ridiculous after spending over $50k on a wedding why the heck are we buying eachother gifts?

funny you should ask this, we were just discussing it this morning. Since we are both paying for it, I don't see a need for us to give each other gifts.

we'll still be exchanging gifts for the wedding.

I'm planning on giving FH:

Surprise Grooms Cake
B-Pics Album
and something to wear (like cufflinks) for the day of.

i highly doubt it. We're paying for things ourself. the HM might be a gift from FFIL. So maybe our gift will be a couples massage or something we can each contribute to.

We're not even paying for the wedding entirely ourselves (my parents are contributing) but we still said no wedding gifts to eachother.

Our honeymoon will be something we can enjoy together and at this point, I feel like having one less thing to pick out/pay for near crunch time is a gift on its own.

What will end up happening is we'll probably shop together on our honeymoon and we can buy something then...with our wedding gift money



same!!

We're paying for everything completely ourselves, except for my gown, veil and shoes. We haven't officially decided, but I doubt that we are going to exchange gifts. We are already struggling to save for the wedding so I doubt we will have extra money to spend on each other.

We had this conversation and decided to keep it to no more than $200

we may get something small but I really think its going to depend on how empty our pockets are.

We're paying for most of the wedding ourselves, but we're still exchanging gifts. We're not doing anything crazy, but I'd like for both of us to have something special that we wore that day, that we can also wear in our every day lives.

we havent decided yet, but since we are paying for everything ourselves, i think that our hm will be our gift. not sure though

No. We discussed it, and decided against it.

I don't know if he is, but I booked by pinup shoot for my gift to him!

We aren't doing Christmas or Birthday this year (we may do a small under $50 Christmas gift rule), so I'm hoping he gets me something fun for the wedding or on the Honeymoon. We were talking about getting a piece of jewelry on the H-Moon or something instead.

we are paying for the wedding our selves also.. and we both kind want to give each other a gift still.. we did a 2 year engagement so that we would be able to do things the way we want.. and i was thinking along the things of something we would need anyways... the tv you are going to prob buy together anyways.. so if u get it as a gift it will kind of be a nice memory sadly all the money is coming from the same place now. black friday is coming up.. TAKE ADVANTAGE!! if u get a good deal why not.. but dont break the bank!
