A real tear jerker. I want him to know how appreciated he is.

I think you should put together a small but personal photo album of photos of you and he throughout all of your years together. From your time of birth up to the present, and put your own little words of thoughts with each one. Then write a letter from your heart and in your own handwriting and tell him what he means to you and how much you appreciate him. In this day and time we never take the time to handwrite much and especially tell those we love how we really feel. Tell your Dad to come and see you about 45 minutes before you all need to be positioned to walk down the isle. I assure you it will be the best 45 minutes you ever spent with your Daddy. You won't regret it. I haven't had my Daddy since I was 19 years old and I am now 47 and he did not have a chance to give me away and how I wish I were in your shoes, if only for 45 minutes. I wish you so very much happiness and many, many blessings to you, your Dad and your family.

My Dad is not a materialistic person but he does like antiques & watches even though he doesn't ever ask for any.Anyway,when I got married I gave him an antique pocket watch with a picture of us together when I was a little girl and had it engraved "Forever your little girl" and I wrapped it in a note written by me thanking him for all his love,understanding & patience & that my life is so full because of him & my mom's love.Just one little word of advice you may want to wait until after he walks you down the aisle,because this really joked my dad up so we had to wait until his tears dried a little before going on with the ceromony.

First of all, talk to your Mom about this. She probably has some good ideas about what will make him cry and what won't!
Anything you can give him just before has to be something small. You could buy him a (man's) ring and tell him "the ring I'm putting on my finger doesn't end the relationship I have with you, Dad."
You could also get him a cameo with a baby picture of you and one of him in it...
A watch is also a popular, manly gift that you could have inscribed with some choice words at a jeweler's.
What you give him won't be as important as what you say to him...but give him something that reminds him of you directly - with words on it and a picture of you and him if at all possible.
Good luck and congratulations on your nupitals!

Hi Nee Nee, I agree with what many have answered for you already. I would write him a letter thanking him for everything he's done for you and let him know that you'll always be his little girl. You could also frame a picture of the two of you together.
Hey, after the wedding, you could give him a grandchild!! I bet he'd really like that!!
Congrats on your wedding. May you live long and happy together.

In the days before cell phones..... my daddy always asked me just before I left the house, "Do you have a quarter for a phone call?" He always had a pocket full of change and made sure I did to , "just in case I needed a ride" SO... on my wedding day I gave my dad a special quarter that I got at a store in the mall called Things REmembered, they do alot of engraving. THis was a medallion that I had them make look similar to a quarter on one side and on the other I had written: Daddy, Thank you for being the best father ever, I will always love you. Your baby girl.
Then while getting ready for the wedding, I had a moment alone with my dad and reminded him of all the times he asked me if I had phone call money and we laughed about it, then I gave him the gift and told him I dont plan on needing a ride anymore. I have the love of my life now, but this medallion will always be a sign of how much you loved me, keep it in your pocket to always remind you of us. He loved it and now 23 yrs later he still has it and carries it with him. He shows it to my kids and tells them how mushy of a gift it was.
Maybe you could get him a heart or circle medallion and engrave your names and a special message for him to carry in his pocket.
Good luck to you.

find a picture of you and him together when you were a little girl and go to the local photo shop and have it put on something he would like. I'm not sure what you would pick, but they can do almost any photo gift. (like put the photo on anything) maybe a photo book. get pictures from over the years of the 2 of you and get a photo book made. then write him a poem or think you note and slip it inside.

Before you start walking down the aisle, squeeze his hand, smile, and say "I love you, daddy." That's really all you need to do to get most dads to cry. It brought my big trucker dad to tears.
Your dad knows he's appreciated. A gift won't change that (besides, presumably your folks are getting gifts at the rehearsal dinner with the rest of the bridal party). All he'll need are the few words to remind him that you're his little girl.

Give him a key, see if you can get it personalized with "daddy" or something like that. Then tell him or write him a note that says no matter what he's the one man that will always hold a key to your heart. I mean like a pretty key, you know like a keepsake, thats what I'm going to do when I get married. It makes him feel special, and lets him know, no matter what, your still daddy's little girl.

A card which has written down all the joy you have perished throughout the times you've lived with him. Write creatively and lovingly, like you mean it.
Don't forget to add a little picture of you and him together having the best of times.

Give him a frame that has A picture of you and him from when you were little, or your favorite picture of the two of you. Then write a little letter saying how u will always be his little girl, or a nice poem. Something that you share with eachother that he can treasure forever!!
