Top Romantic Birthday Ideas For Your Girlfriend 2017

When it comes to keeping your girlfriend happy, it is often the little things that matter the most. Most girls love it when their guy takes the time to show they care. Here are top cute ideas for romantic ways you can surprise your girlfriend or wife.

1 - Historical Tour

Every couple has a history. Unfortunately, a lot of guys don’t completely remember it!

Try digging into your memory bank to come up with four or five locations that are important to you as a couple: where you first met, where you went for your first date, or where you first kissed. It’s the perfect excuse to literally take a walk down memory lane.

Depending on the type of transportation you use, it could be free or very cheap, especially if you use nostalgia to blow off expensive restaurants. Remember that time you went to that amazing burger joint together?

2 - Gift Basket

Gift basket is cool option which you can take into your consideration. A girl would love to see a gift basket for her birthday. A gift basket is nothing but a basket which is contained with full of different gifts. There are two options, if you think you will go for a gift basket. First, you can make it at your own with simple tricks and steps, second is to just buy from the gift shop. I know guys are lazy and least interested in making a gift, So I simply said buy it.

3 - Accessories 

If you are unaware about a bond between accessories and girls, then let me tell you what it is. Any girl in this planet love accessories. I am so sure about it that I can bet if you go to a place which is crowded with girls and just scream “a diamond ring”, then they will just jump on you, LOL. I think the example I gave is little funny, but I mean that.

Girls really love accessories, from where so ever they are. Every time my girlfriend buy some new accessories she just keep on saying that she bought this branded thing from this shop for this much cost. See they are just mad about accessories. So I think Picking up accessories as a present for your girlfriend would be a very good option.

4 - Clothes and shoes 

Girls are just mad for clothes and specially shoes, everyone knows that. If you really don’t know then you might have a lot of things to find here. A best gift option for any girl is clothes and shoes. They are simply easy to find and also comes in budget, if you know the right place to buy. Whenever I don’t have time to think of some special gifts for any of girl friends, then I just go with the clothes and shoes because I know a girl will going to like it anyway.

5 - Personalized gifts

When its about presents for girlfriend or even boyfriend, I suggest personalized gifts as they are worth the efforts. With any materialistic gift it becomes very easy for you, as you just have to pick the gift but to make a gift personalized you have to give some efforts. I must tell you, for any personalized gift, your efforts are worth as they are just special. There are many options if you are going for personalized gifts.

6 - A purse or clutch

Girls generally don’t have big pockets like guys do on have in their jeans, and not the things that any girl carry. I mean you will find any girl to be carrying a purse or clutch whenever they move out from home. Girls carry a lot of things so they need it. I think this can also be a good idea to gift her a purse or clutch. This gift can be used daily for her personal use.

7 -  Plan a Night Filled with Her Favorite Things

Prepare a night all about her favorite things to show her how well you know her. Prepare her favorite meal on her favorite colored dishes. Follow up with snuggling on the couch and enjoying her favorite movie.

Or take her to her favorite restaurant followed by her favorite activity (whether it be going to a club to dance or going shopping at the mall). Customize the entire night for your special lady.

8 - Plan a Night Filled with Her Favorite Things

Or take her to her favorite restaurant followed by her favorite activity (whether it be going to a club to dance or going shopping at the mall). Customize the entire night for your special lady.

Reasons why you want to wish her the best birthday

We generally wish people with just two words “ Happy Birthday”, but to those who are not that close. When it is about our close one we just want to do more. I am sure you would be more interested in wishing your girlfriend in a more unique way rather than a flat Birthday greet. I have an idea for you. Why don’t you write a note where you tell her why you want to wish her the best birthday. You can write in a funny way, romantic or idiotic way, as its your own choices. Here are few things you can mention in the note.

Because you are the one for whom I can spend my whole month salary to just make you smile.
Because I have noticed you are becoming more romantic with every passing year.
So this way you can find your own reasons. Just sit for an hour with a pen and paper and write every reason you can think of.

10 - Car Decor

Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, whatever – your lady expects the world. When it’s a special day, you need to start the day off right so she knows that you planned something. A message on her car is perfect if she’s the one who rolls out of bed and off to work each morning.

Use a window marker to decorate the windshield and windows on her car with cute, sweet messages – extra points for hearts and other designs. When she trudges out to her car, you’ll score points by giving a cheap gift that everyone can see all day long. Just be ready to help her clean it up!

Tips writing happy birthday cake

After all that work of baking, filling, frosting, stacking and decorating your cake, you have come down to the last task: writing on the cake. We understand that it can seem terrifying, but don't worry, we're here to help calm your nerves with a few tips and tricks

1. WRITE FIRST 

It is really tempting to save the writing until the very end, but it is best to write the message before decorating the top of the cake. This way, if you make a mistake while piping, you can easily fix it without ruining the rest of the decorations.

2. FONTS

One of the best ways to practice is to print out your message in the font and size you would like to copy. Place the paper under a sheet of parchment paper and start piping. Writing in cursive can be the easiest way to pipe words, but piping block letters can be done as well.

3. CHECK YOUR SPACING

A great way to practice is on a parchment circle the size of your cake. This will help you better envision the spacing of the lettering and the decorations. Plan ahead so you know where you want to place everything.

4. PIPING TIPS

The size of your piping tip can make or break the final look and feel of the cake. In the image above I piped the exact same phrase in a Wilton #3 tip (left) and a Wilton #2 tip (right). I find the wording on the right much more elegant and the wording using the #3 tip to be bulky. Neither one is wrong, but be careful that your piping does not detract from the design of your cake.

5. FREEHAND WRITING

Once you have practiced your font, it's time to write on the cake. I like to imagine the cake cut into four pieces with straight vertical and horizontal lines. If you need to center your letters, start by counting the number of letters and spaces in your phrase, like so:

Happy: 5 letters

Birthday: 8 letters

This means that the first “p” in Happy is the center letter for that word and that the “t” and “h” split the center in Birthday. When writing in print, I write the center letters first.

Then finish the end of the words, starting at the top.

Then write the letters going left of the center letter. (So for Happy, I write in order "p,p,y,a,H") 

This technique will help make sure that all letters are evenly spaced and centered.

6. TRANSFERRING THE IMAGE

There are many ideas out there about how to transfer your lettering onto your cake so that you can trace the letters rather than free-handing it. I have tried many of these techniques, such as poking holes around the letters or running a toothpick along the letters to leave small indentations as a template. I have even heard of piping your words backwards on parchment paper then flipping it over and lightly pressing it onto the cake to leave a slight template to pipe over. I have not been successful with these methods, but others may find that they work.

Wilton carries a set of letters that can be combined and pressed into fondant or buttercream as a template for piping, or they can be left as indentations in the fondant.

7. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

You may have beautiful penmanship on paper but it may not reflect in your piping. Practicing first is very important. Even professionals spend time practicing before each cake. It is difficult to get your spacing and letter size all in a straight line the first time, so be sure to give yourself some time and practice.

How to make a pop up happy birthday card step by step

You can always go out and buy a birthday card for someone from the grocery store, but have you ever tried making a home made one? And when I say a home made one, I don't mean a peice of construction paper folded in half with a quick picture scribbled on front and "Happy Birthday" written sloppily inside. I mean something you put some effort into. In this instructable, I will show you how to make a very nice little pop up birthday card.

Step 1: Materials 

Materials:
Scissors
1 sheet of white typing paper
1 sheet of colored card stock
Markers, or something else you can color with
Pencil
Glue stick

Step 2: Folding the Paper

First you need to fold your sheet of typing paper in half the short way. Try to be as exact as possible. If you get a little off, its okay.
Step 3: Drawing a half bird

Draw half of a bird right up against the fold with your pencil. Make sure that at the tip of the wing you stop, skip a little space and then draw the rest of his wing and his tail. This step is a little confusing but the picture helps. Sorry that it is a bit blurry.
Step 4: Cutting

Now starting at the place where the birds beak meets the fold in the paper, cut along the bird shape you just made, up to the place on the wing were you stopped drawing.
Step 5: More Cutting

Next, starting at the place where the tail meets the fold in the paper, cut along the line to the place where you started drawing again.
Step 6: Folding

You need to use your finger and push the bird inside the card. Then, you need to fold the bird in the way opposite of the fold.
Step 7: Color!

Now carefully color the bird.
Step 8: Message

You're almost finished! Go into WordPad and type a sweet but short message, a short poem would be perfect. You should then change the size to 12 or 14 and choose a cute font. Next, print it out, cut it out and glue stick it into the inside of the birds beak.
Step 9: Cardstock

Now put glue all over the outside of the card , fold the cardstock in half and stick colored cardstock on the white bird card. Finally, decorate the front of the cardstock. Finished! When you open and close the card the bird will seem to flap its wings.

How to Make a Birthday Cake Pop up Card (Robert Sabuda Method) 

Steps

1 - Click here to get the image. (Or you can click on the image at right.) Right click on the image and select "View Image" (for Macs, CTRL click and click "Open Image in New Window"). From there, print out the image on a heavyweight paper, like cardstock or construction paper.

2 - Click the image on the right to enlarge. Right click or CTRL click again to see the image in a separate window, and from there print out the pop-up pieces for the cake on another sheet of heavy paper.

3 - Press along the dotted line. Do this on the center of the card with the rounded end of a paper clip (or a ballpoint pen that has run out of ink). Use a ruler as a guide. Go all the way from the top to the bottom of the card.

4 - Repeat along the dotted lines of all the pop-up pieces.

5 - Carefully cut out the cake's card. Follow the solid, black lines.

6  - Slowly cut out the pop-up pieces. Follow the solid, black lines. Do not cut the dotted lines - those are fold lines you'll use later.

7 - Color in the candles. Don't color the cake yet.

8 - Fold the two sides of the candle piece. Fold away from you, along the center dotted line.

9 - Lay the candles down flat and carefully fold the lower left tab up and crease. After you've creased it, return the tab to its original position.

10 - Carefully fold the lower right tab up and crease. After you've creased it, return tab to its original position.

11 - Pick up the candles. While holding the lower section still with your right hand, fold back the top section with your left.

12 - Your candle piece should now look like the image at right. The two candles in the center are pushed back away from you while the two candles on the ends are coming towards you.

13 - Turn the cake piece over. This is so that you do not see any of the black dotted lines on the finished product.

14 - Fold the two sides away from you along the center, creased line.

15 - Turn the cake piece back over again so you can see the black, dotted lines. Lay the cake down flat and carefully fold the right tab up along the dotted line and crease. Leave the tab in this position.

16 - Carefully fold the left tab up along the dotted line and crease. Leave the tab in this position.

17 - Fold down the "scalloped icing" tab at the top and crease. Leave the tab in this position.

18 - Carefully fold down the "wavy icing" tab at the bottom. Fold it up along the dotted line and crease. Leave the tab in this position.

19 - Color in the cake and icing.

20 - Fold the card in half along the center dotted line.

21 - Apply white glue. Don't use too much glue or it will show through. Apply it first to the left angled area closest to the center of the card.

22 - Apply glue to the right angled area closest to the center of the card.

23 - Carefully line up the tabs on the candles with the wet glue areas on the card. Press the candles' tabs into the glue. Make sure that the center dotted line on the candles matches the center dotted line on the card. Let the glue dry for 2 or 3 minutes. 

24 - Wait until after the glue has dried and test the pop-up by slowly opening and closing the card. You may need to help the candles fold down for this first time.

25 - Apply glue to the remaining left glue area on the card.

26 - Apply glue to the remaining right area.

27 - Line up the cake with the glue areas on the card. Press the tabs into the glue. Make sure that the center crease line matches the center dotted line on the card. Let the glue dry for 2 or 3 minutes.

28 - Slowly close the card after the glue is dry. You might have to help the cake fold in the first time. Open and close the card a few times to test the pop-up.
