Concert tickets for you and my husband is not a wedding present

I think it is kinda sweet actually. I have no problem if we get gifts that are just focused on things my FH loves...and nice they are getting some guy bonding time.

To each his own. Like I said, it'd be different if it was something we could double date to. Plus, his birthday is coming up in August, so I don't know why he just didn't gift them to him then.

I think that's pretty creative on the GM's part. I like giving my FH gifts like that for his bday. Concert tickets, sporting events, comedy shows, etc. It gives you a reason to have a date night!

I'm actually impressed that a guy thought to do that. I don't expect gifts from any of the guys in our wedding. They just don't think like women do.

I don't like it either. Aren't weddings about both the groom and the bride? A wedding present should be for the couple as a whole - not just one person.

I think it's really sweet actually. I love when the groom gets a few "guy gifts". The household stuff is for both of you but let's face it. ... the women are slightly more excited to get kitchen gadgets and towels etc. (Common shower gifts). I for one was super excited when I saw someone got FH the tools he had on the registry. I do however think a concert is a slightly weird wedding gift but kudos to him for thinking outside the box and getting his friend something he would truly enjoy.

Hey that's better than used gym shorts bought off eBay. No joke. FH's friend from when he was growing up randomly stopped by the house the other day and gave him a gift, used gym shorts, he thought they were cool bc they had the Lions logo on them. Oh my....

@TiffanyShay I wouldn't say only women are all about the kitchen gadgets. My brother put more things on their registry than my SIL. And my FH is all about an espresso machine. I really do think this gift is creative, but inconsiderate since he knew it was a musician the bride wouldn't like.

That's actually a really thoughtful gift, but I agree that it's not really a WEDDING present, as wedding presents are supposed to be for both the bride and groom as a couple. But I guess you could look at it this way: the gift to YOU is that you don't have to go to a concert you don't want to go to. ;-)

I love it actually. Yes it's not for both of you. But how often will your FH use the blender you got (unless he cooks).

Yeah, it just strikes me as an odd "wedding" present. Very nice gift for FH, but another time perhaps?

Plus the concert is 3 weeks after our wedding and on a Tuesday night! FH works the night shift at the airport, so I told the groomsman to keep that in mind. I said he'd def go if it was a surprise, but he'd prob complain the whole time about having to work the next day.

@Jennifer B.... you're right it was an over generalization but that wasn't really the point. I'm sure there are a few things on your registry that you specially picked out and your FH could care less about AND vise versa. I was just saying that sometimes it's nice to show the guys a little love. And I added that concert tickets are still slightly weird.

Haha, I don't cook, so my DH picked out all of the kitchen related items. He hasn't really used anything yet.. LMAO. We've just been busy, but we'll be able to cook more pretty soon when we get back on our healthy weight loss plan!

OP: Eh, I guess it sort of makes sense, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have even thought to get him tickets to that concert anyway especially because of his job on night shift. Either way, I think it's thoughtful that he wanted to get his friend something that he knew he liked, and gift buying for guys is sometimes more complicated.

At first I thought that was an amazing gift and then I saw where you don't like the music. So never mind! Yeah, bad. If it was for you two to go together, than I think that is awesome!

I got a pearl necklace from my uncle as a wedding gift (he's a jeweler) so….hubby was left out of that one. Oh well.

It is a little odd, seen as you won't be going. My FH would be thrilled with kitchen gadgets.He wants a kitchen aid so bad.But I do think gifts should be meant for the home, or for you to both share.
