Breakfast in Bed - Enjoy the Romance

Our daily commitments such as taking care of children, working, running errands, and dealing with social activities can take over our lives. It can leave us wishing for more time to rest and relax with the one we love. It would be fun to get away for a few days and focus on each other. Take the time to talk about what is important rather than what bills need to be paid that week.

Why not schedule a couple of days away from it all with just each other? You can do so at one of many great bed & breakfast locations found out there. Some of them are right around the corner from you so don't make an excuse that you don't have the time to be away or you can't afford to travel right now. Instead focus your energy on finding the perfect location for your get away.

Some individuals worry about the cost of it, but you shouldn't. There is no rule that says such time together has to be expensive. You can even stay at one a few miles from home if you want to. This can cut down on travel time and travel expenses. With the cost of gas these days it makes perfect sense.

The internet is all you need to really see what is out there. You will notice there are more bed & breakfast locations around than you may have realized. Choose one that offers you everything you want as well as a great price. Look for promotional codes online too that can save you more money. Don't forget to compare the prices for weekday rates and the weekend. You will likely find quite a price difference due to the demand for them on the weekends.

You can also find great pictures online so you know exactly what your money will be buying you. This eliminates the risk of you showing up and the room not being what you thought it would be. That could really put a damper on this nice romantic time you are planning for each other. If you have a certain look in mind then type that into the search engines to help you narrow down the possibilities.

If you need something in addition such as you want a certain bottle of wine at the room when you arrive contact them directly. Most of the bed & breakfast businesses owners are very willing to do these types of favors for you. If you call one and they don't then consider staying at one that will. Of course you can't leave such requests for the last minute and then expect them to do it so plan ahead.

While this may be a great trip to take for an anniversary or birthday, it can also be something you do to surprise your partner. Just let them know you have something planned and for what days. They will love the surprise when you show up together at the bed & breakfast. It will really show them that you want the relationship to be a top priority for both of you.

Take some time to really nurture yourself and your partner by getting away. Booking a stay at a great bed & breakfast can help you get connected again in a way that you haven't for some time. Get away from your daily responsibilities and really focus on each other. You will find that everything else is still there waiting when you return. Yet these short get aways can do wonders for your mood and for your relationship.

Have a Romantic First Night

Gone are the days when brides and grooms wait until marriage to make love for the first time. With the exception of those whose religious beliefs require them to be virgins until marriage, few people today refrain from physical intimacy before becoming a newlywed. Still, when the reception is over and you and your new spouse find yourselves alone, you’ll want that first night as married people to be special and extra romantic. You can make it a night to remember whether you’ve never been with one another or you’ve lived together for years.

In practically no time at all, you'll set the stage for romance. Here's How:

1. Choose the right place to spend your first night. If you’re looking for romance, then you should retreat to a hotel room or your own home together for the evening. Leave your entourage behind and focus on each other. Those who have had destination weddings might already be in a luxurious resort on a beautiful island somewhere. But even if you’re in your own hometown in small-town America, you should pick a place where you can be alone, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.

2. Bring food with you. Many newlyweds are so busy greeting guests and dancing at the reception that they do not get much to eat. Ask your caterer to give you a doggie bag or make sure the hotel or wherever you end up staying has fruit or some other snacks on hand. You might be starving when the party is over – and a growling stomach can ruin the mood and your desire.

3. Pick the right undergarments. Brides and grooms spend a lot of time dressing up for the wedding. But they should also make sure their undergarments make them feel sexy and presentable to their spouse. Wearing something fun for only the eyes of your partner can be a real turn on. Women, of course, have more options than men. For the ladies, a slinky white nightgown, pretty thong, and garter might do the trick. And men might prefer a simple silk boxer. Be true to yourself. The important thing is that you choose something that makes you feel both comfortable and desirable.

4. Have flowers and candles at the ready. Set the stage for romance with rose petals that lead to the bed and soft candles lighting the space. Wedding planners often prepare the hotel room for couples, but you can do it yourself if you planned your event solo. Decorating your room adds to the ambiance with the aroma of flowers and the mellow candlelight, but also helps set this night apart from any other you might spend together.

5. Treat each other to something special. Run a bath for your spouse. Give each other massages. Have love letters waiting on each other’s pillows. Do something romantic and out of the ordinary for one another to show how happy you are to finally be married. You’ve announced your love to the world; now announce it again to one another. Nothing could be more special than that.

6. Kiss, hug, laugh, and love. The rest will come naturally, so you won't need any further direction. Enjoy one another and be happy!
