Boudoir Photo Shoot - When to give it to FI?

Kristin, on January 28, 2014 at 10:23 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 12

I just scheduled my boudoir shoot for March 28 and I am so so so excited! I can't wait to get all beautiful for FI!! Smiley laugh

I was wondering for those of you who did a boudoir photo shoot, when do you plan on giving it to your FI? I was thinking the night before our wedding since we won't be seeing each other much & he will have something to look at before our day, haha. I really wanted to give it to him the night of our wedding, except I'm super paranoid of having to tote the book around just in case anyone would see it. We are having our reception at a hotel & we're carrying so much crap as it is (including our centerpieces the night before) as well as all our family members will be with us for the next few days. Thoughts? Thanks!!

    I will be giving it to him the night before the wedding before we part for the night Smiley smile

    Are you having an earlier wedding because your date shows 2015…. would be awfully early to get boudoir pictures taken in March if you don't actually get married for another 1.5 year.

    I left it at our house hidden under his pillow the day before, so when he left to go home after rehearsal I told him to look for it Smiley smile

    Elizabeth, I don't think there is a required timeline on when you are "supposed" to do it. However, personally, I won't be having my pics taken until June, which leaves enough time for editing and getting a small album, that I can give to him the night before the wedding. If I had done it a year or so in advance, I actually would have looked different because my hair was much shorter, etc. I just wouldn't want the pictures to look tooooo different from what I look like, when I actually get married. Just me, though Smiley smile

    I'm going to give it to him either when we get back after the wedding or the morning after the wedding depending how tired we are. I really want to give it to me HUSBAND. Idn why, but I'm stuck on that. I'm getting ready in our suite so it will be easy to leave it there without him knowing

    This is probably going to backfire on me, but I had planned on giving it to him the day of our wedding with a Note. My plan is to have one of my bridesmaids (probably his sister) deliver it to him the day off and ask him to read it alone. we are both getting ready at separate suites at our wedding venue, so we will be in the same building. I just wanted him to have good thoughts that day and maybe ease any nervous feeling he may have that morning.

    I just scheduled mine too! I've been up in the air between giving it to FH the night before (when we get home from the rehearsal and I can see his reaction) or asking someone to take it to him. After all of this insight, I'm leaning towards the night before.
