Arsenal gift idea for Groom

I plan on doing this... But no idea how to go about it! So will be following this thread with interest. My plan so far was to send them a card and request the team sign it for him...in hope they'd send back a photo or letter. lol

Hello

I don't tend to post on here very often but I think I can help with this. I actually sent a card to the club at the beginning of November with a letter requesting if Arsene and maybe a couple of the players would sign it for my OH. The card was sent back within a week along with a letter saying that they only sign cards for charity but if I could supply the date of the wedding they would send a congratulations letter signed by Arsene which I received just over 2 weeks later.

I was so surprised that they even came back to me and my OH will be so chuffed when I give him the letter on our wedding day next month!

I hope this helps!

Ah nice work ladies. Never realised you could get signed letters.

My H season ticket holder for arsenal and my surprise gift on the day was our cake toppers with H in an Arsenal shirt

Charly - I take it your fiance is German? we went to Dortmund 2 weeks ago to see Arsenal play them, and well, lose.

I sent a letter to Manchester United, now keeping my fingers crossed that I get a response. I found an old post somewhere with a template letter and the address where other brides said they got a congratulatory letter.

I got a signed picture of Thierry Henry when he was still at Arsenal for my H2B; I emailed them asking and they replied asking for, then, boyfriend's name and an address and very quickly I received it in the post along with a poster of the team and an information pack. Thyat was a couple of years back now obviously!

Ah brilliant, thanks ladies. Think it will go down a treat. We have a few little touches during the day, like the tables being names after the invincible team, so I know how important it is to him!

Skeppers got a Tottenham (don't hate me if I've got that wrong!) letter signed for her groom, she just wrote to them, apparently they were very accommodating!

My fiancé is an Arsenal fan and I contacted them. They sent this back...

"Thank you for your email. You can request a letter of congratulations from the Arsenal Manager Mr Wenger. Please write to The Contact Centre, Arsenal Football Club plc, Highbury House, 75 Drayton Park, Highbury, London, N5 1BU 4-6 weeks prior to the event, include the full names of the bride & groom, the date of the wedding and the address to which it should be sent.

We only arrange for shirts, footballs, photographs, etc to be signed for those raising funds for Charitable Organisations or those supporters who are ill or in hospital and in this instance usually a letter of ‘best wishes’ is sent to them from our Manager, Arsène Wenger."

Hope this helps. x

Perfect, thank you very much!

Yep! One of our lovely brides surprised her groom during the speeches with a letter from Arsene. I think she sent him an invitation to the wedding and got a letter back

I never would have thought of this - my OH isn't a football fan, but if I could get a card or letter from the England Cricket squad he'd probably be over the moon!
