They say that one of the most boring and predictable things that you can do to express your love is giving a romantic greeting card. While it is true that it is one of the most criminally overdone stints that a lover can ever come up with, you can still make this act extremely romantic and exciting. All you need to do is master the fine art of surprise.
Because romantic cards are usually pre-made, it is recommended that you produce something that is original, or at least, customized. Anyone can visit a store and pick a card but not everyone will exert so much effort in designing your own. Aside from that, timing and strategy play very crucial parts in taking your loved one's breath away with the ubiquitous greeting card. Hence, you have to know how and when exactly to give your romantic card. Here are some of the most effective ways to catch your partner off-guard.
-
Send your partner a number of various greeting cards every single day for a week for no reason at all. They may be “Happy Easter,” “Get well soon,” “Congratulations” or “Merry Christmas” cards. If your sweetheart asks, don't give him / her any decent answer. At the end of the week, give your “I love you” card and say that this is the only card you really mean.
-
If you have children, ask one of them to be your accomplice. Tell your kid that he / she has a card that your loved one has to sign. Your partner will surely assume that it's from school. He / she will be surprised that it's a romantic card signed by everyone in the family. All that is missing is his / hers.
-
Give your partner a card with nothing written on it. It will befuddle your sweetie. When he / she throws you an odd look, say something like this while pointing to your heart: “It's in here.”
However, what you have to bear in mind is that what matters more is what's written in the card and not how you give it. You can come up with ingenious ways of surprising your partner but if there's nothing written on it other than what the manufacturer has provided, then it won't have any effect at all.
