Set a budget
srprs.me will make sure the trip essentials stick to everyone's agreed budget. What you spend on extras in-destination is up to you, keeping everyone happy.

Assign roles
Accessory planner, bartender, taxi caller... roles mean that when you arrive you can enjoy the moment and only worry about what you have to do and not the rest.

Plan wisely
Don't just sit around...pick one activity to do each day and then drink for the rest of it, your partner will want to see tourist pics if you have left them at home for three days! Too many choices? Ask a bartender, hotel receptionist, even the local tourist shop owner what their favourite thing to do is nearby, and take a leap of faith.

Choose your besties
No need to stress about all the added invitees; nine is the maximum number of people for a srprs.me group booking, meaning only your besties can travel. Looks like you won't be able to invite the mother-in-law after all....

Leave room
You don't know where you will end up or what treasures you will find so pack light and leave room for all the spontaneous purchases you will make along the way! Srprs.me will sent everyone a message telling them what kind of holiday and weather to pack for a week before departure.

Expert at Cake Box, shares 2026 wedding trends

Weddings may be rooted in tradition, but 2026 is seeing couples put their own spin on the big day. From reimagined wedding cakes to more personal, less conventional celebrations, today's couples are increasingly choosing what feels meaningful to them rather than simply following the rules. To explore how wedding traditions are evolving, Okay Rahman, Head of Product and in-house cake expert at Cake Box, shares their insight into the biggest wedding trends of 2026 — and how couples are putting a fresh, modern twist on some of the most-loved elements of the day. He said... "We're seeing that wedding cakes are becoming much more personal in 2026. The traditional tiered cake certainly hasn't disappeared, but couples are feeling less tied to the idea that a wedding cake has to look or taste a certain way. These days, it's being treated as another part of the styling of the day, so the design reflects the couple, the venue and the overall feel of the wedding.

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

Are Brits risking their finances by avoiding the pre-wedding money talk?

For many couples, talking about money can feel far less romantic than talking about the wedding itself. But as more Brits prepare to tie the knot — and with stronger legal rights on the horizon for unmarried couples — new research suggests we may be leaving some important financial conversations until it's too late. From avoiding money talk on first dates to steering clear of prenups, the findings reveal a nation surprisingly reluctant to discuss how to protect their finances, even when differences over money are already putting relationships under strain. Two thirds of Brits (66%) say they would not get a prenuptial agreement before marriage (48%) or have already opted against one (17%) - compared to 42% in both France and Spain. New findings from Europe's second largest neobank, bunq, reveal that Brits are markedly more resistant to prenuptial agreements than their continental neighbours – despite Britain's reputation as the less romantic nation.

Couples could legally get married anywhere - legal comment

The UK Government has unveiled a new consultation to reform the wedding laws in England and Wales which is exploring how wedding ceremonies are conducted, particularly looking at wedding venues. The proposals are seeking to modernise the outdated legislation in this area which will eventually provide couples with greater freedom to decide where and how they will get married. At present, when a couple gets married, they need to have their legal ceremony in a licensed building or a registered place of worship. The existing laws have a further requirement that couples must ensure the individual officiating their wedding ceremony is either an authorised religious minister or a civil registrar.
