Make sure roommates or children will be away so that you and your partner are able to relax without fear of being interrupted. If you live with other people, ask when they will be out to get a good idea for a date and time to plan the bath.

Make sure your partner will be available when you set up the bath. Nothing will dampen the mood like being informed that your partner is suddenly busy, or will be coming home much later than expected. Set up a time with your partner, and ask that they stick with it.

If you want to keep it a surprise, you can tell your partner that you need them home to help you with something at a certain time.

SUMMARY: Clean your bathroom. Choose a good time. Set up a solid plan.
