When you’ve worked so hard planning your wedding, you know every single detail of the day. That’s why it’s great to include a few surprises and what could be better than a romantic surprise for your partner? Lots of couples love to give gifts to each other on the day and we love these heartfelt presents. However, there are lots of wonderful ways that you can surprise your partner on the big day and here are some of our favourite ideas:
1. Add a surprise into the plans of the day. Speak to the Events Team in secret if this is something that you’re keen to do and see what you can work out together. It might be a champagne and chocolates in Cornstore Cottage at the end of the night or absolutely anything that you know your partner will love. The Events Team can help you arrange everything and, of course, they’ll keep it secret until the big day.
2. Go old school and write a love letter to your partner that they can open on the morning of the wedding. On this special day, ditch the DMs and switch off your WhatsApp and instead, put pen to paper and tell you partner how you feel. If you’re not comfortable with flowery prose, a list giving your partner all the reasons why you can’t wait to marry them will definitely hit the spot.
3. Send your partner a gift to be opened as they’re getting ready for the ceremony. You might like to send jewellery or luxe accessories that they can wear on the day or a more personal present that you know they’ll love. Whatever you choose to send, this will be a gift they’ll never forget.
4. Arrange for some time-out on the wedding day. Speak to the Events Team and arrange to slip away together for a few minutes after your wedding or before your evening reception. This is also a great moment to give your partner a wedding gift face to face in delicious privacy.
5. This is a great surprise to share during the speeches and it will definitely make sure that all your guests feel the love. Put together a slideshow of photos from your time together and play it during your speech or even during dinner. Ask your friends and family for any photos that they have of you both so that even the images themselves will be a surprise for your partner.
6. Prep a secret wedding morning playlist for your partner and fill it with songs that you both love or tunes that are special to you both. Then, send details to your partner on the day or message them with an instruction ask Alexa to play the wedding morning playlist!
7. Arrange for a special guest. It might be that there’s an old friend or distant relative that you know your partner would love to see so get in touch with them before you send your invitations and come up with a plan to surprise your partner. This really does take quite a lot of organisation, but you’re guaranteed emotional moments and huge amounts of love – what could be better?
