Bride's Guide: Q&A for the Big Day

April 27, 2010— -- The Fed Ex delivery people must think that my parents are either shopaholics or operating a small home goods business out of their dining room.

Every day, packages of wedding presents arrive at their house, because my fiancé and I don't have room in our apartment. Plus, my sister got married earlier this year, so the delivery deluge has been gaining strength since December.

They say it's better to give than to receive. While it's fun to open all of the lovely and generous wedding presents, I also want to focus on giving something to the special people involved in the Big Day. First and foremost on that list is the groom.

It's tradition for the bride and groom to give each other wedding gifts (aside from a lifetime of love, commitment and support, of course).

Celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss has already shared her recommendations for gifts for the members of the wedding party, but what do you buy for your future spouse to mark the most important day of your lives?

Bride to groom:

1. Watch engraved with: "to the 'time' of our lives!" or "It's our 'time" and the date or "Loving you all the 'time.'"

2. A good, high-quality camera, "to capture the moments."

3. Cuff links and studs (The truth, Mindy says, is that he might wear them to wedding and probably won't wear them very often, but it will be sentimental for the future).

Groom to Bride:

1. Jewelry

2. Jewelry
