Tip #1 Determine Why You Want to Exchange Gifts
Do you know why you’re exchanging gifts with your future spouse? It’s not to impress anyone else or because someone told you to. It’s all about choosing a unique way to show them you are thinking of them and love them. It’s easy for romance to get lost in all the wedding craziness, so planning a few minutes during the wedding day to exchange gifts can add a moment of intimacy to chaos.

Tip #2 Decide on a budget
After crunching wedding budget numbers for what feels like literally forever, the last thing you want is to have to deal with yet another budget item! Just one last thing though, and then you can forget all about math while you’re on your honeymoon! You and your beloved need to decide how much to spend on a gift for each other. It’s advisable to have this conversation before shopping for gifts. Even though it’s tempting to spoil your love and go overboard with an extravagant gift, it’s wise to stick to a budget. Try to think of the budget as an opportunity to get creative, not as a constraint. For inspiration, tack a look at this jaw-dropping piece for him and something sparkly enough to stop traffic for her!
Tip #3 Sentimental or Utilitarian?
It’s important to have many memorable moments during your wedding, and one of those can be the moment you exchange gifts. Have you thought about how sentimental you’ll want your wedding to be? If it’s full of thoughtful traditions and meaningful moments already, it might be fun to have a silly moment during your gift exchange. You should talk to your soon-to-be-spouse about this to get their take before deciding. Are you the sort of couple who would prefer a more sentimental or utilitarian gift? Once you decide, you’ll know what to shop for. It’s important to choose based on who your future spouse is. The budget is determined, and you’ve decided between sentimental and practical. Now comes the fun shopping part. The sky’s the limit with gift options! Take a look at this pendant that’s calling his name and this bracelet that’s calling hers!
