“What am I going to tell my fiance?!”
“I frantically threw stuff in a bag this morning on my way out the door and was just praying he didn’t notice.”
“I have NO idea what I’m going to tell him when I get home.”
These are just a few the statements I hear on a weekly basis from my clients. They are usually brides who are trying to surprise their fiance with the gift of his life. Trying to keep that a secret until the wedding day is not always an easy feat. If this is a grooms gift or birthday gift or anniversary gift or just because gift; the chances are you might have to be creative with how you pull this off, especially since you’ll be coming home with full hair and make up! And who wants to get all glammed up, just to remove it all hours later. After being pampered by our hair and make up artists, most of our clients enjoy a date night or girls night out! So just how do they pull this off?
That’s where we come in!
We have crafted a few lies we tell our clients to tell their significant others (assuming he notices).
1. “I had my trial hair and make up today! I love it but I think it’s a little too much for the wedding day so I’m going to have to have another trial with someone who does something more subtle. Don’t you agree?”
2. “Look! I popped into Sephora today and they were giving away free makeovers!”
[Men have no idea that makeover takes hours and this kind of transformation would never be considered a free trial.]
3. “They had mommy makeovers at the baby shower!”
4.”They had someone do makeovers at the bridal shower today!”
Three and four work if you:
A) Schedule your shoot for the morning of some event or party you are going to that evening.
B) Your man has no idea where and when the is a baby shower is, nor cares.
C) He thinks the shower was for someone at work and that you’ve been at work all day.
5. Can you believe it?! Our boss arranged for a surprise beauty day at work for all the girls to celebrate (fill in the blank)!
When there’s a will, there’s a way ladies! Part of what makes us so incredible as women is our ability to lie and manipulate the situation. It’s time to use those skills for good. He’ll be surprised and when you come home feeling full of confidence, he’s not going to ask too many questions. He’ll be happy for you! Just stick to the lie. Everything will be fine. You can do this! And don’t worry, chances are he’s not seeing this article right now. And if he is, he’ll forget about it by dinner.
