Quick answer: A wedding-morning gift for the groom works best when it's personal and something he can wear on the day. An engraved watch is a classic choice: put your wedding date or a short note on the back, and it becomes a keepsake from the moment he puts it on. Order with time to spare, as engraving and delivery take a few working days.
Why a watch works on the wedding morning
He can wear it down the aisle, it's in every photo, and the date on the back means it's tied to the day forever. It's also a lovely quiet moment before everything gets busy: a note and a box from you while he's getting ready.

Watches that suit a wedding
Groomsmen and best man gifts
Lots of grooms give their groomsmen a watch each, engraved with the date or each person's initials. If you'd like a few, or matching ones, get in touch before ordering and we'll help you get them right. Our wooden bracelets are also popular as a smaller thank-you.
Timing: engraving takes 2 to 3 working days before dispatch, then UK delivery. Order at least two weeks before the wedding to be relaxed about it, and longer for several watches.
And for the anniversaries to come
Five years on, it'll be your wood anniversary. See our 5th anniversary gift guide when you get there.
