There's nothing more guaranteed to spoil what could have been the most romantic weekend of her life, than a cock-up over travel or accommodation.
You've just got to get all the details right, because there's no substitute for good organisation.
Don't spoil her Weekend Break with an organisational cock-up
You have two options:
- Arrange the whole thing yourself
- Buy an off-the-shelf package and customise
If you're arranging yourself, you'll need to think about the following:
- Destination - what destinations would be most special to her?
- Travel and accommodation - You can arrange flights and accommodation at
Opodo.co.uk and they can probably save you money too!
You can do luxury in the UK too. What about the Cotswolds, Malvern Valley, Lake District, Scotland?
Try Corushotels.co.uk
for character UK hotels in some great locations.
- Tickets - if you want to take in a concert while you are there then latestevents.com can probably help.
- Activities - if you're staying in the UK, why not do some activities? Check out our mini-breaks and gift experience pages for some great activity ideas for women.

- Where are you staying?
- How are you getting there?
- To the airport / from the airport to the hotel / to any activities and back?
- Is there any way to make the travel part of the experience, rather than a chore?
First class train/ plane? Alternative modes of transport to local activities (eg horse and trap)?
-
Don't leave things like taxis to chance on the night. Pre-book and, anyway, why not book something a little more special instead?!
- What are you doing while you are there?
-
Think in terms of morning, afternoon and evening. There's no need to go hour-by-hour. She doesn't want to feel like she's on a treadmill, so make sure you allow plenty of time for things like bathing, getting changed, eating etc.
- How are you getting to and from each of the activities?
- When and where are you eating?
-
A girl's got to eat. Don't forget to work out when and where and try to make this special too. You don't want to end up in McDonalds through sheer hunger!
