Gift Ideas for your Fiancé - Valentines Day [Part 2 of 4]

Dinner + Flowers + Future Gift
Naturally, this week’s Gift Ideas for Your Fiancé revolves around Valentine’s Day.  Valentine’s Day, though perhaps the most cliché holiday, is no day to fight against tradition.  Every girl expects flowers and dinner in some form, and should be the foundation each Valentine’s evening.  For a groom’s spin on a valentine’s-gift-for-her, why not get her something for the the big day?

Dinner, flowers on Sunday, and a gift redeemed near the wedding is a great way to give her the holiday she deserves, but also stretch your gift giving (this is extremely helpful for those on a tight budget or saving for the honeymoon).  Take some time to think about what she’ll be wanting closer to her wedding: a 30 minute massage, the perfume she’s been wanting, a new shirt for her 'going away' outfit.  If you don't plan to give her actual the gift this Sunday, at least create your own gift card or something to open. You want present yourself as thoughtful, not cheap and lazy. Remember this may not be a great idea if your wedding is a year away.

Its your turn to comment ladies and brides to be.  What would be a good gift from your groom just before the wedding?

  1. David and I made dinner and dessert together and then sat down and wrote our vows. It was a very special valentines day! I'll always remember. :)

  2. I guess I should add, we had no money to spend on anything else at the time!

  3. A massage the wednesday before your wedding is a perfect way to relax and a great gift - have a nice dinner and print out a certificate for redeeming later

  6. Oh! I forgot, FIRST we wrote our "fake" vows. Like, "I promise to love you even if you fart in bed.." etc. THAT was fun too. We still have those next to our real ones. :)
