We were answering some questions on the wedding deals website and there were a few that we wanted to share with you. This came from a really sweet groom Andy who wanted to surprise his bride with a special item with a one month preparation time. Lucky her!

Here’s from Andy:

“Hello, I’m a groom tying the knot in one month time. I want to surprise my bride with a special item but I’m not a good singer so singing is out. So wonder if you have any good ideas?”

Here’s our answer:

Dear Andy,

This is really sweet of you! Singing is usually the first thing that comes to mind when we are planning a special item, but the truth is that not all of us are blessed with a good voice, and some of us might even get really nervous and it is definitely not a place to be stumbling, at least not in front of your boss and colleagues!

Here are some ideas you can explore:

1. Prepare a special speech just for her – in person will be great, or if you are too shy for that, do it on camera (you can always edit it), share your take on the love story, how you planned for the proposal, what research you did on the planning, the ring, etc. basically angles that she never knew
2. Gather her close friends and family to say words of blessings on camera, or to make it  “interview style”, where everyone answers questions about the both of you.
3. If you are hiring an emcee, they usually will have many ideas on how to do something special. Work with him/her to come up with a special segment. It could be a quiz, a game, or something creative 🙂
4. Prepare a special gift for her and the story behind it (she will not expect it and the impact will be very powerful!)
5. Do something nice for her loved ones, could be her parents, sister or bestie. Present a gift, or show appreciation.
6. Do something along the lines of her interest. What does she like to do? Not all hobbies/interests can be put into place, but some surely will!
7. Dance for her, or with her. She’ll love either.
8. Ask her friends! They will usually have a lot more great ideas than you think.

Hope the above helps!
