Cupid’s Advice:

Surprise engagements aren’t the only way to throw your partner for a loop. Cupid has some tips:

1. Surprise party: Maybe the most obvious, but many people go a lifetime without having a surprise party thrown on their behalf. Even if your partner claims they don’t like surprises, there’s a 95% chance they will still be thrilled with a surprise party thrown in their name. Consider your anniversary or their birthday.

2. Candlelit dinner at home: This is something your partner definitely won’t be expecting when he or she gets home from work! Instead of the typical “server yourself” get-up in the kitchen, consider setting up a special candlelit dinner for your partner. You can discuss the day as your faces are glowing.

3. Plan a trip: Whether it’s a trip you eventually tell your partner about after it’s booked or a trip he or she doesn’t even know they’re going on until they get to the airport, a surprise getaway is always a good idea. Just make sure it doesn’t interfere with your partner’s work schedule, and be sure you bring clothes for them!
