Couldn't keep planned boudoir pics a secret

I'm dumb, ladies... Long story short, I added "book B-session" to the WW checklist, knowing that I would need the reminder and that FH wouldn't look at the list on his own. Well, I asked him to check off STDs, forgetting that I had added that... So of course he's all "wtf is a b-session? Was there an A-session?" And I told him it was a surprise but he does NOT do well with those, he drives himself crazy and really can't handle it. So he freaks out, won't let it go, in the interest of his mental health I cave and tell him I'm doing boudoir pics for his wedding gift. He didn't press after that, but now that the surprise is ruined I don't feel as driven to do it... Did anyone else tell their FH about their boudoir session? He may totally forget 10 months from now if I don't say anything, but now that he knows maybe I should ask for his input? Or should I pick something else, or play it off like I won't be doing them... Advice and experience appreciated, thank you!

I told FH. I showed him one picture that wasn't even a bad picture because I was excited. He doesn't know what I wore or anything.

Last year our friends got married. And our friend did a boudoir shoot for her husband. It kinda ruined my surprise for my dh. When I got around to getting a quote, I was shocked by the price much higher than I expected. I told him the price and that I wasn't going to do it. He was a little bummed but agreed it was too much to spend. I ended up being able to surprise him because the photographer ended up offering a mini-shoot for a fraction of the full cost. When I gave him the book he was so surprised. Maybe you can play it off in a similar way with your fh, say that it is too expensive or something.

That's a good idea, playing it off like it's too expensive or I ran out of time... Did any of you ask your FH what they wanted? As far as style of picture or outfits or anything?

I told FH about mine because he saw the letter and I'm seriously the worst at keeping secrets. I had to explain to him what they were and then he was really excited and couldn't wait for me to get them done. I didn't ask about style or anything. I just picked some of his favorite types of outfits I knew he loved.

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll either spend the next year fantasizing about what the pictures will be like, or he'll forget entirely and be surprised by the time your wedding rolls around next year
