When to give BD book?


Recommended Posts

My boudoir photos are being done two days before our wedding, so there is no possible way to get him the book the day of.

 

He will be getting a surprise after the wedding and after everything is all said and done.

I only JUST NOW decided to have a little "first look" time. I'd been pretty against it before and the only reason I'm going to go ahead with it now is because the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it might alleviate some nerves on his part. Theres a lot of pressure with the whole beginning of the ceremony thing where all eyes are focused on the two of us and our response to seeing each other-especially for his part. The book would be a great spontaneous mood lightener I think, along with just seeing me in a semi-private moment where he can have whatever reaction feels right to him away from all the eyes.

I gave mine to him the night after our wedding before we left for our private dinner. This was not the original plan, but I didn't want to send it to his parents' room the day of the wedding where he was getting ready! Awkward! I'm glad I waited cuz I got to see the reaction first-hand and it was very special, a moment neither of us will soon forget. My only regret? Not having the camera ready, but the look on his face is forever etched in my memory

These are great ideas! I think I'll have one of my photographers bring him the book but I don't want everyone else hanging around when he gets it so we'll have to see how it works out.

 

For the ladies who have already gone through this I would love to see some pictures of your DH's reactions to seeing the books.

I decided about 2 weeks ago when I finished designing my book that I am going to ask my photographer deliver the book to FI. I really want his reaction photographed; no matter how much he may try to hide his reaction bc he has an audience - this will shock him to the point that he can't hide it! =)

Here is how it went down... on Tuesday Jan 27th (DH's 30th Bday) after our rehersal dinner I gave him a small box, containing a key. Immeadiately after I left and retired to my brother's suite for the night, as DH and I were not staying together the night before the wedding.

The next day at 12;30 my sister's boyfriend made his way over to our suite with a box custom made by my dad - it was locked. As I have heard, DH's reaction was a little slow - until the idea of the key kicked in. He then ran and got the key and opened the wood case.

He says that when he opened the book he started to laugh and leaf through the pages - it wasn't until he got to page 3 that he looked up and said "wholy *eff! IT'S AMARILLIS!"

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
