Start a family Bible?





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Watercolor on paper. Or other handcrafted paper art.

I like scratchy’s idea. Do you know her taste in art?
Iirc, you have a newborn. Did you take any images of you as a family, or of her and the baby that she really loved and could be tastefully framed? Just another idea.

A one hundred dollar bill is what I gave. It was well received.

Give her a card . If you raise the bar early on in the marriage it's going to cost you dearly . We've been married 45 years and we don't go for gift obligations ..

^^^ This is what I'm going with.
A gift certificate to a nice spa for the day, what are your (as in the two of you) hobbies? Something you can do together? A gift certificate for that?

I paid someone on etsy to write our vows on a nice piece of handmade paper all fancy and then put it in a shadow box with our ceremony rings (they were wood and while we were assured that they'd stand up to regular wear it quickly became clear that mine would not so we replaced them for daily wear and now I wear a silicone band).

Lovely suggestion.

Stationery is great, too.

My S-I-L's first anniversary gift to her first husband was divorce papers. Second marriage has lasted since this guy isn't a cheater.

I went with flowers and a pencil drawing from a local artist, but some of yall have lovely ideas.

The trip would be great, but we have an infant, and travel is more complex than fun.

Really nice! Hope she loved it.

Just as an aside, kids fly for free under the age of two, you get to board first, and everyone’s generally pretty darn nice and helpful.
At least that was our experience. And we flew as many places as we could, starting right about when he turned 3 months. Cool
He’s a seasoned traveler at this point, but now he cost$ a full extra fare.

My wife got me framed bible verses that were read at our wedding. They are hanging in our bedroom.
