you need to get to calling and find reservations at a nice restaurant


Order limmo, put out nice dress on bed, babysitter if needed to be set up, reservations at a top restraunt..flowers NOW..

Basically, get ready to drop $500+ because you forgot.

True. But he could have gone for a half and half.

Something like an admission that it sneaked up on him, but he went ahead and planned (whatever), wants to make it a great night and next year will be better. (assuming he gets to next year)

My husband doesn't even need reminder on his phone. We usually will discuss what we want to do for our anniversary weeks to a month in advance. We still like to try and travel for ours(even if it's just a weekend getaway someplace not too far away) so we plan for it.

Once he has the reservation set up
She'll find out he just made the reservation today. And any gift he buys she'll find out it was purchased today.

Do you eat dinner at 2pm?

He's got all day to plan something, and this isn't valentine's day where everyone on earth is trying to make reservations for this one night. He can easily find a fancy restaurant to make a reservation for tonight. As well as cut out of work a few minutes early and go pick up something from her favorite store at the mall.

Aside from the initial anxiety of forgetting, this should be a non-issue.

Don't feel too bad man. I would've completely forgotten today was my wife's birthday if I hadn't had to call our insurance company yesterday and one of the security questions they asked me was what is my wife's birthday.

Immediately order flowers and have her delivered to wherever she is asap. Tell her you ordered them Monday

Make reservations for tonight asap

Get a card and write some mushy shite in it. When you get home hide the card in the bathroom or in one of her drawers, wait a few minutes, ask her if she found the card you hid this morning.

She forgot too. Got the same text. Now she's scrambling as well.

With a prepaid Visa that he must discard afterwards. Tell clerk to backdate the order.
