Welcome back to Thoughts & Musings! Happy Wednesday to you!
Would you agree with us that (the majority of) weddings are (pretty much) all about the bride? And I mean, can you blame them?! They have only been waiting for this day since they were, what, five years old? It’s a big day, for all involved, but especially for the bride!
However, that doesn’t mean the groom can’t feel special, pampered, and appreciated too! They may not care what flowers should go in the centerpieces or what the invitations look like, but they do care a great deal about one thing in particular… THE BRIDE!
On today’s episode of Thoughts & Musings, we thought we would give seven secret surprise tips that the bride can use/create to make the groom feel loved and adored on their wedding day:
Plan a surprise after-party - Of course, this doesn’t have to be overly extravagant, considering you probably just dropped a pretty penny on the wedding itself. Simply just invite a few of your closest family members and friends (secretly), invest in some finger foods, and maybe a DJ (or bluetooth speaker), and enjoy the rest of your evening!
Buy lingerie - This can be quite a fun surprise for your groom, even if you are a regular wearer. Your wedding night is the night to try out something brand new for your man; maybe add some red lace to your evening wardrobe, or something a bit softer and romantic.
Buy HIM some lingerie - Okay, okay… maybe not “lingerie”, but silk will do. Get him in the mood! Give him a nice new pair of silk boxers, and perhaps a blindfold too, if you know what we mean.
Order his and her massages - This doesn’t need to be a wedding night occasion necessarily, but the next morning or honeymoon could work! It takes a lot of prep and planning and thought to not only plan a wedding, but attend one (even as the bride and groom). Give the gift of relaxation!
Prepare a bubble bath - In correspondence with some R & R time after the wedding, this is another option! Line the bathroom with candles, buy a bottle of bubbly, pour some of your favorite oils and salts in the warm water, and just enjoy the sensations with your hubby!
Have his favorite drink ready - It almost seems as if champagne is the staple beverage for celebrations, but not all men like that best. Whatever your groom’s favorite beverage of choice is, make sure to have that prepared and waiting for him when you get back to wherever it is your are going after the festivities. This is a simple gesture, but a good one to show your man just how well you know him and how you put in the extra effort to think of him first.
Recreate your first time - This idea might just be the most romantic of all. Bring back the memories from where it all began by setting the stage just as it was the night you two first got to know each other, intimately. Bonus points if you still have the outfit (or panties) you wore that first time.
So, there you have it. Our seven “secrets” in Heaven! We would love to hear your thoughts, which one(s) you choose to pamper your groom with, what HE thought of your surprise, and/or any others you would add to this list!
Until next time, cheers to you and yours!
