Exchanging gifts with one another on your wedding day is long-standing tradition, but not everyone feels it’s necessary. There are many costs associated with planning your wedding day, so you may not choose to exchange gifts with your soon-to-be spouse. For others, this is a meaningful way to gift each other something sentimental and memorable on the morning of, before saying “I do!”.

After having photographed weddings for over a decade now, I have seen so many special and unique gifts exchanged amongst couples. We’ve compiled a list ranging from some of our low-budget to splurgy ideas!

The most important factor in deciding on a gift for your fiancé, is to make sure it is thoughtful and meaningful. You can exchange gifts the night before, the morning of, or whenever you feel it is most appropriate based off of the gift you are giving. Alternatively, you can have them dropped off, or have your maid of honor or best man do the exchange for you. You may also choose to exchange them on your wedding night. Do what you feels right, and keep the focus on your love for each other and the true meaning of your special day!
