Last week we tackled gift ideas for the ladies (hint hint lads) and now it’s the groom’s turn! The wedding morning is going to be all sorts of emotional as you get ready with your girls and it can be nice to take a step from all the madness and think about the reason it’s all happening – your partner. The gift exchange definitely isn’t necessary, but it’s a gorgeous way to let your other half know you’re thinking of them and mark this amazing day. When it comes to pressies, creative brides have come up with some genius ideas to let their groom know they’re thinking of them with everything from sweet touches like a timeless heirloom watch to make sure he gets to the church on time and personalised cuff links he’ll always have as a reminder of your Big Day, to pressies that will give them a laugh like a Groom Survival Kit or a book full of marriage wisdom! Check out some of our favourite wedding morning gift ideas for grooms below…
