Surprise your bride with a few cards during your engagement (or just one really big one).

OK, if you’ve made it as far as the engagement, you probably have the basics of giving your bride-to-be a gift down. Don’t forget important anniversaries and don’t claim that you thought she really wanted a circular saw. But, you know how on your way home from work you stopped at the drug store and grabbed the first anniversary card you saw? Yeah, she can tell, and she hates it. Your gift would earn so many more points if you would take a few minutes to put some thought into getting a nice card.

If that sounds like too much work, why not order a few ahead of time and keep them on hand? I discovered Silhouette Blue and wanted to share this clever site because they not only do custom-designed invites, but they also have some simple anniversary cards. Cute enough to earn you points, but not so cute you’ll feel weird giving them to her.

You can thank me later.

Gretchen, from MyWedding.com is here with the SAS (short and sweet) tip of the week for the grooms out there.

If your fiancee had a hand in planning the honeymoon, get sneaky and set-up a surprise for her anyway!  Contact the hotel or resort to prepare a romantic gesture for your new wife!

Here are some examples of things you can do to steal her heart even more:

Champagne & chocolates by sunset: This would be even MORE romantic if you took a boat ride out and watched the sunset from there enjoying your sweets!

Tickets to a show: Get tickets to the hottest show in town and when she asks about going, tell her they’re sold out…but surprisingly have them delivered to your room.

Hire a local photographer: Do some research and hook up with a local photographer to meet you for an hour to take pictures of the two of you strolling the local scene.

Massages: At the end of a fun filled tourist attraction day, hire a masseuse to come to the room and give the both of you massages

However you choose to spice up the honeymoon with a thoughtful gesture or two…being together and enjoying the new journey into married life is the best gift of all!
