Celebrating the people that matter most to us comes down to one thing: paying attention to them. There is no ultimate decoder ring to be found online for determining what every girlfriend wants, let alone what your specific girlfriend wants. The quest for the perfect gift or immaculately planned party can be stressful, though, so when it comes time to plan an unforgettable birthday for your partner, hopefully these ideas can kickstart your efforts.
- Proper birthday planning doesn’t happen the night before, and you’ll never even know it’s the night before if you don’t ask. You want advance warning for the preparations you should undertake.
2) Make your plan and prepare punctually. Waiting until the last minute to pick up her gift, or to make reservations at the restaurant, or to ask your boss for time off so that you can meet her at the movies is going to stress you out and create situations where you have to settle for the second (or third) best option for the day. No girlfriend’s idea of an unforgettable birthday involves their partner’s procrastination.
- If you’re planning a surprise party, make sure all who would be invited have time to clear their schedules and make any necessary arrangements.
- Exploring a museum is a fun possibility for a birthday event, but make sure you’re entirely informed when it comes to the museum’s policies, ticket prices, and hours. Expecting everything to be open because it “seems like it should be” is a good way to have excellent birthday plans dashed at the last minute.
3) Get a card, get flowers, or get both.While every girl may not be overly fond of these, the idea is sound. Small tokens that show you care and think about her while she’s not there can mean the world. Even better than buying a card is making one, no matter your skill level with the ancient tools of marker, glitter, and glue.
- Flowers induce emotion, when received and even when given. You’re doing more for yourself than you might think with that bouquet! Just picking a particularly pretty flower you see growing outside and giving it to her without much pomp or circumstance can make her blush.
Gifts, flowers, chocolates and other precious things are not essential for your girlfriend’s birthday gift because all of them will fade away but your Love, esteem and Preciousness are forever planted in her heart and mind.
