We found affordable as well as luxury gift for groom from bride, in case you want to spoil him a little. After all, it is your wedding day! 🙂

But first, what makes a good groom gift from the bride? Is it tradition to give the groom a gift? Let’s discuss it.

Best Groom Gift

You can give a good gift for the groom, but why not give the best groom gift you can? There is only one big difference: the thought!

As a rule of thumb, a gift given to the groom from the bride on the morning of the wedding is exponentially better when tailored to his unique style. In other words, give the man what he wants! If he is into fishing, make it fishing related. Does he like to read? Give an engraved bookmark. Would he like to wear a wristwatch, a pair of cufflinks, or a tie clip? You get the idea.

Choose a gift the groom loves and then add a card to it. Every gift is better when there is an accompanying card or note. For the wedding, your card should be handwritten; place the card with the gift and make it something he will read before the ceremony.

You can write your sentiments inside a card like this by LolaLouiePaperie:

What gift do you give the groom?

This blog post was inspired by a question from bride-to-be, Stephanie. She is looking to give a wedding gift to the groom as the gift exchange on the morning of the wedding. But she’s stumped on what to give him. What gift do you give the groom from the bride? She writes,

“Hi Emmaline, I’m planning my wedding and my maid of honor asked what I’m going to give the groom on the morning of the wedding. I didn’t even know there was a bride and groom gift exchange. What should I give the groom as a gift? What makes the best groom gift? Thanks for your help.”

Hey, Stephanie! Great question. Yes, this gift exchange between the bride and groom on the morning of the wedding is a relatively new trend within the past few years. Before then, people either did it and never really said anything about it, or it wasn’t popular enough to make the rounds on social media just yet. 😉

Wedding Morning Gifts for the Groom

Now that you know what to give as a gift for the groom, how are you supposed to get it to him the morning of the wedding — without him seeing you before the ceremony?

When to Give the Groom His Gift

The gift exchange from the bride to the groom usually takes place in the morning while everyone is getting ready. The bride and bridesmaids are in the bridal suite getting hair and makeup done, while groomsmen are getting ready or hanging out in a hotel room or at someone’s home before it’s time to get dressed. This is the best time to have the Best Man, Maid of Honor, or flower girl / ring bearer deliver the gift to the groom from the bride.

Groom Gift Bag

You can place the gift inside a regular gift bag or up the style a bit and use this custom groom gift bag from DetailsMatterStudio.
