Default Need creative fun ideas...R/O

So my friend Shelli gave me the perfect way for Zak to ask his girlfriend to prom-We took a photo of him holding up a sign and made it into a puzzle-its about 120 pieces...now I want some creative delivery ideas-we plan to break the puzzle up into 5 days worth of "gifts", but I'm a loss on the best way to give them to her-I was thinking that one day could be a mini Easter basket with a few pieces in 5 eggs or so...with some jelly beans in each one-but that is only ONE day...
Here is the picture...we plan on giving the pieces in the speech bubble the last day...


Send your creative ideas this direction!
TY Guys!

The last day must include flowers of some sort.

And what about a balloon bouquet with some pieces in some balloons.

I really am LMAO because it appears that his zipper is wide open-I think it's just the jeans-but I'm laughing my butt off looking at the picture and thinking I didn't notice it when we sent it in to get the puzzle made...Zak's fly looks(or is) OPEN-OMG-Haaaahhaaaahhaaaa!
I just brought him down and made him look at it-he says the zipper is meesed up and disconnected from one side of his jeans-of course he doesn't care-I told him to get the jeans and throw them in the trash...I love that kid!

Oh! Oh! For the last day, do paper flowers. Get small round tins to use at the center of hte flowers with the pieces inside! Then just cut out flower shapes to go around the tins (or use bigger sized fake flowers and figure out how to get rid of the center), glue the tins to a dowel rod cut to size, and stick them in a little pot filled with something (little glass stones, marbles, you can do floral foam and cover it with moss for a more realistic look, heck do jelly beans if ya want, lol!).

How about making little pocket cards? Each day he gives her a card along with whatever else (like along with the easter basket, to go with a pot of flowers, etc etc).

ohhh cute!!! My bro's prom date (YEARS ago) laminated a piece of her answer and put it in a cake. It wouldn't work so well with puzzle pieces, but it would be cool if it would!

That will be so fun, I love it. Love the easter egg and balloon ideas. Could you do a scavenger hunt one day? with just 3-4 clues leading to more pieces?

I think if you just put 1 piece in each balloon, it would work. I know I made a puzzle once and the pieces were really light.

*giggle* the question is, why are YOU coming up with these ideas? You need to train the boy, not do it for him!

How big are the pieces? You could make a decorated sugar egg (just make sure the window is big enough that she can remove the pieces).

Directions if you're interested:

What about in a box of cereal? oh and I have filled balloons before, as long as you do a few pieces it works, lol. We stuffed insane things in balloons(other baloons, flour, shredded paper, puzzle pieces, cereal, bags), lol, for morp one year.

You do realize that men aren't romantic just out of the blue-I have to teach my boys how to do things like this-then it will stick with them-someday their wives will thank me for all the hard work I have put into making them awesome men...of that I'm sure. He will be with me everybit of the way through this and make the deliveries himself-He and his dad made the sign...so now this part is mom directed. LOL.

As a woman I thank you for trying to raise boys to be awesome men. Their wives will thank you!

Maybe there is a new book she wants? stick pieces in threw out the book? Or just a small gift in a bag with a couple pieces in the tissue with the present? Or a gift certificate for a mani with a couple pieces in the envelope?

no ideas here. I wish there were some boys like that around for my daughter! All of her past boyfriends have hated the idea of prom
