The Cutest Way to Surprise Your Spouse-to-Be on Your Wedding Day

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something...in the shoe? Introducing the sweet new wedding trend that will ensure you and your future spouse put your best foot forward on your wedding day.

Here’s what you do: The night before the big day, leave a cute note inside your partner’s shoes so that when they put them on before the ceremony, they’ll get a lovely surprise. (You may have to enlist the help of your wedding party to pull this off.) 

What not to do: This isn’t the time to remind your S.O. to wear the blue tie or to pick up the groomsmen’s boutonnières. Think short and sweet, and something that will convey exactly how excited you are about spending the rest of your lives together.

Why do it: Look, wedding planning is stressful, and it’s easy to get so caught up in the planning that you forget why you’re going through with this whole hoopla in the first place (because you love each other, duh). Jotting down some loving words for your partner to read before the ceremony is a fun and low-effort (hey, you’re a busy lady) way to put a smile on your soon-to-be spouse’s face, before they’ve even seen you in that gorgeous dress. (Plus, it’ll make a fabulous keepsake.)
