ShareThisQ: Do my fiance and I have to give each other presents the morning of our wedding?
A: This one is completely up to you. Some couples give each other gifts to wear at the wedding, like a pair of cufflinks for him or earrings for her. But this is by no means a requirement.
Extra presents are an easy cost to cut -- and isn't marrying each other the best gift of all anyway? If you still want to exchange something, consider writing each other letters to open on the morning of your wedding. You'll cherish those words more than anything in a little box.
You can also surprise your fiance with a photo album full of your favorite moments together or a memento from your first date, like a cocktail napkin from the restaurant or the ticket from the movie you saw.
