So, following up on an idea I found many months ago, I finally got around to personalizing a special pair of wedding day socks for Mr Lighting. It is probably the easiest and sweetest gift you can give a groom - and perhaps each time he wears them he’ll remember that those were the socks he got married in! 
To make this super easy project I bought some good quality socks with an argyle stitched pattern, used one sheet of think card, and a small length of ribbon.
A few short words graced the emblem that we have used throughout the wedding and it was folded and glued in place around the socks.
And voila! This little gift will accompany another sentimental gift which I’ll be sharing soon.
What small sentimental gifts did you get your groom?
that’s the sweetest gift ever! i’m sure it will make him smile on your wedding day!! this is another one of your great ideas i’m going to have to steal, miss lightning! 
I love this idea! If I wasn’t already married I totally would have stole this idea!
that is so awesome! love it!! oh, btw—-i’m so stealing that….shhh………
Such a cute take on this idea! I ordered embroidered socks from Etsy that said the same thing. They were pricey, but worth it ’cause he loved them!
This was one of the first projects I bookmarked when I started the wedding planning! yours tun out adorable!! love the wrap 
This is great. Would you share your document with the design?
That’s really sweet. Wish I would have seen this for The Hubs before our wedding.
Sooooo cute! I’ll have to remember this. You’ve inspired a lot of people today. THANKS!
O.M.G. brilliant! I actually think everything about his day is picked out … but the socks! I must do this. It will be my first DIY project! Yay.
I love your gift! It is so sweet and its the details like this that make you the perfect bride.
I’m definitely thinking of stealing this idea!
I love this! I think I’m going to do this for my bubba. Thank you!!
