Before you dive into planning a surprise wedding, make sure that it\u2019s what you really want. While surprise weddings are full of excitement and fun, they\u2019re far from spontaneous. They require plenty of careful planning and coordination to pull off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a surprise wedding may also mean sacrificing traditional pre-wedding festivities, like bridal showers<\/a> and bachelor<\/a>\/bachelorette parties<\/a>. Because they\u2019re a complete surprise for your guests, you won\u2019t receive any wedding gifts on the day of the ceremony either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you\u2019ve never been a fan of fuss, skipping the pre-wedding parties might sound like paradise! Talk over all the pros and cons of throwing a surprise wedding with your partner before making any final decisions. Once you\u2019re both on the same page, it\u2019s time to learn how to plan a surprise wedding! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it hush-hush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know how to plan a surprise wedding, this is rule number one. A good surprise wedding should be, well, a surprise. Only share your plans with people who absolutely have to know about the wedding, like your event vendors and the officiant. While you may consider your friends and family to be trustworthy, all it takes is one set of loose lips to bring the whole surprise crashing down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you won\u2019t be able to rely on bridesmaids and family members to help plan the wedding, enlisting the help of a professional wedding planner can help you keep everything under wraps. A wedding planner can help you coordinate all your details in total secrecy so that no one will wise up to your plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure to keep all your phone calls, texts, and emails hidden! This is one of the easiest ways to accidentally let your secret slip, so guard your phone with your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get your guests to your surprise wedding, you\u2019ll need to create a cover-up event. This can be tricky to do without raising suspicion. But you can pull it off with a little ingenuity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A common tactic is to invite guests under the pretense of an engagement party<\/a>, and then surprise them with the real ceremony. You could also invite guests under the ruse of a birthday party<\/a> or special anniversary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an excellent time to embrace non-traditional wedding themes. Try asking your friends to come dressed up under the guise of a costume party or host a pool party and tie the knot by the waterside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to innovate here or come up with new ideas. After all, your surprise wedding should be memorable!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
