Weddingbee boards

No responses means no more post.

bump, dammit! I want some ideas. :)

Personally, I think what you have planned sounds perfect. He won't be thinking about an actual gift once he walks into the bedroom...he'll have something else on his mind... ;)

Maybe some edible body frosting or something to exchange and then lead him to the bedroom after you give it to him? I think Victoria Secret, Spencer's, or Walgreens has edible body frosting.

@misskoala:  Thanks. I was getting antsy leaving my plan up with no responses thinking people would think I'm some kind of deviant or something. But I appreciate your idea-- I think that sounds like a nice addition!

@Otaqueen:  Haha, your response made me giggle. All right, I'll repost since this is actually getting some traffic now.

My plan, as I see it is to give my DH a special little get-away without even leaving the house. We have a completely empty room in our house that we were saving for a baby if we choose to in the future. So, I'm treating it like a blank canvas.

I've put up our wedding day chuppah on the ceiling like a canopy, and from it I'm going to stream some fabric hearts, which will softly billow towards the floor, and skirt the perimeter of a cozy set up (either our air mattress, or an envelopment of extra down comforters we have). I'm going to put linen on the walls to soften the space, and I have two pillar candle holders that I'll use for ambient lighting. I'll have mood-music playing in the background of course, and the room will be complete with a couple of wine glasses and light snacks-- I'm thinking some grapes, maybe some whipped cream & chocolate covered strawberries. We also have the kama sutra board game that we haven't played in ages. It might be a good time to set that up on our little enclosure too.

I was asking other bees if there should be a gift aside from me all dolled up for the occasion. I was thinking maybe I could make him a nice dinner, and take him upstairs and blind-fold him, spin him around a couple of times, and lead him into the room for the reveal. It's no fun if he sees where we're going. I want to knock his socks off with the transformation. What do you think? :-)

@adnama:  Thanks. I hope it turns out as immaculately as I hope-- perhaps I'll post some pictures of the final product. I like your dinner idea too. He loves when I cook.

@Otaqueen:  I've been thinking about that too, but I can't come up with anything other than a paper shredder-- not the most romantic piece of equipment ever.

I did ask him if he could go anywhere in the world, where would it be (his answer: San Diego-- BORING), so I've been thinking about adding a California flare to my room. Not sure how to do that though.

I just wanted something to take away from the potential cheesiness of my idea. I'm a little self-concious over whether he'll appreciate all the effort I'm expending. I hope so!

@Otaqueen:  yay! Thanks! The ocean sounds I had thought of, but food escaped me. Unfortunately he isn't one for mexican food, so it'd be me on that venture only, but I love the dessert idea.

I'm not sure how to pull off the other sights and smells of S.D.--- I thought maybe one corner could be sea world and I'd have little fish hanging from the ceiling against a blue backdrop, and another corner could be the zoo for which san diego is famous and have a collection of zoo appropriate stuffed animals (I don't hve to go too far for that) and the opposite corner could be dedicated to the Chargers football team since he's such a sports nut, but I'm not sure how to pull that one off. I wish he would have chosen Paris or something more fun.
