The wedding is over and it’s time to officially start your life as husband and wife. While it’s usually up to the groom to come up with some romantic gestures for his new bride, why not surprise him on the wedding night with a few of your own?
Here are nine ways to an evening he definitely won’t forget:
Plan a Surprise After-Party
Invite your family and close friends to an after party, but don't let your groom know about it until you arrive at the location. You don't need to spend a fortune on this either; just some lighting, small bites and drinks will do!
Buy Lingerie
Even if you regularly wear lingerie for your man, try out something different for your wedding night. For example, if you usually choose something racy, wear something more romantic. And if you're on the shy side, then spice it up and be as risqué as you're comfortable with.
Buy Him Some Silk
Why should you be the only one in a sexy outfit on the wedding night? Surprise him with some silk or satin boxers to get him in the mood.
Order His & Her Massages
It's been a long day, so why not relax a bit right after the reception with his and her massages? Just be sure to make your appointments well in advance!
Prepare A Bath
Set up a bubble bath for two complete with candles, music and your drinks of choice. It's a great way to relax after a perfect--but exhausting--day.
Set The Mood
Get the hotel room ready for romance with candles, rose petals and champagne. You can ask your maid of honor and best man to organize everything for you so it's set up when you arrive after the reception.
Have His Favorite Drinks Ready
Not every guy is a fan of the bubbly, so have whatever your groom prefers ready to be served at the hotel room.
Order Sexy Snacks
You both might still be hungry after the reception--after all, many brides and grooms don't get to enjoy their wedding food that much. Have some filling, but seductive, snacks waiting for you at the hotel room. Think chocolate covered strawberries, raw oysters, pasta with truffles and the like.
Give Him A Memento
Before the wedding day, arrange a boudoir photo shoot and then present the pictures to him in a beautiful album on your wedding night. Trust us, this will be a surprise he'll never forget!
Recreate The First Time
A cute idea is to try to recreate the first time you made love. Bring back the music through the music, drinks, flowers, etc. If you still have the outfit you wore on that special night, bring that along too!
