My Fi is a HUGE Maple Leafs fan (i know, they're terrible). I'm not a huge sports fan, but a lot of the wedding is to my taste, and I would like to include something just for him (even something small).. Have any of you done anything like this? any ideas? any special surprises for your fi?

Yes, I'm doing something special. My FI is a HUGE Chicago sports fan. I was going to have a groom's cake made in a design of something to do with the Cubs or Bears, however, we have a very small crowd and the wedding cake is more than we can handle. His birthday is the day after we arrive - and 2 days before the wedding. I'm having a cake made and delivered to the restaurant where we are having our welcome dinner as a suprise to him. It's going to be in the shape of the Wrigley Field sign. Here is a link that could possibly give you some ideas. Coolest Homemade Sports Cakes Photos and How-To Tips Good luck.

how about a sports garter?

What are you doing for your cake topper? We included the personalization there. Or in my husband's case, he wore a belt underneath the untucked shirt with a joke belt buckle that had the logo on it. He would flash it occasionally to make everyone laugh.

i love the garter idea...who knew that they even made those! that'd be an awesome little surprise for him (an then you don't have to ruin your wedding with TML paraphernalia..LOL)!

Yeah, I have the same problem. Although even FI seems to have lost enthusiasm for the leafs of late. But the garter is a great idea- and with TO colours it can be your "something blue"

I am doing a Vancouver Canuck garter. My mom added the emblem to a garter.

I was going to suggest a garter! I just got a Chicago Bears garter - I love it! It will be a great surprise for the guests.

I have done something a little different for the guys, my FH is a huge guitar junkie, I have 18 and counting in my house, and yup he plays them all, but his favorite is a very expensive Taylor guitar, I contacted the company and they sent me a miniature version, FOR FREE, they loved this idea, I used the miniature with a guitar pick fan around the back as his bout, our son is the best man and he is a call of duty nutbar, so I have used a keychain ps3 controller and laminated scans made wee of the game for his bout, my dad is all about the coors beer so he has a beer bottle bout, future father in law is a retired police officer and so on, I wanted to really personalize things, I havent gotten the pics done yet but will post them as an album when I can
