Struggling to find a Valentine's/ Date Night idea. Try some of these quick suggestions:
No matter how cheesy, everyone wants the cliché Valentine’s Day at least once. Make it unique by incorporating elements that are special to your relationship. From roses to chocolate to the giant teddy bear, show your spouse love by celebrating Valentine’s Day in a way that reflects your unique bond, no matter how silly you feel doing it.
Break the dessert norms and embark on a fun and adventurous journey of creating an extravagant dessert for your sweetheart. Whether it's a challenging soufflé or a crème brûlée with a mini culinary torch, the joy of the process will be as sweet as the dessert itself. Even if it's not perfect, the experience will be a blast!
Impress your Valentine and feel a sense of accomplishment by cooking up your version of surf and turf. A traditional surf and turf at a restaurant can be pricey, but the satisfaction of making it at home is priceless. With a couple of steaks and lobster tails from the grocery store, you'll not only save money but also create a delicious dinner that you can be proud of.
Buy boxes of candy, pop buttery popcorn, and pick a great flick to enjoy for a movie night in. To make it more special, choose a movie that holds a special meaning to your relationship or a movie you both have been wanting to watch. Create an intimate, inexpensive Valentine’s Day right in the comfort of your own home.
You don’t need to spend money to make your spouse feel special during the season of love. Leave sticky notes around the house full of compliments or sweet words to make your spouse feel treasured! Way better than text messages.
Create a fort in the living room, complete with a stack of movies, plenty of snacks, card games, and a flashlight. Create a night full of laughter and memories by being kids again together.
You don’t have to have a night alone to enjoy each other's company and fulfill your spouse’s love language. Have a night full of community by inviting a few friends over for a game night. Open a bottle of wine, have snacks, and share lots of laughter with other couples in your life.
Plan a new adventure for a double date night (check out our blog on 20 things to do in 2020). Prioritize your love by planning a date night out and inviting another couple to join you.
A great way to show love through acts of service and relieve stress is to help around the house. Help your spouse check off their to-do list by taking on their chores or cleaning the house.
Take the guesswork out of relaxation and schedule a couple’s massage to be enjoyed together. Not only is it a great date night, but it's also a special treat full of stress relief!
Whether the poem is sweet, loving, or silly, write a poem to express your love and devotion to your sweetie!
Channel your creativity by creating a coupon book for your Valentine. The coupons could include ways your spouse could cash in on chores being done, errands being run, spa treatments that can be utilized, or fun date nights.
Schedule a day off together; whether that is a planned day of sleep and watching movies or a day to go on a new adventure. Show priority to each other by planning a day off together.
Nothing is better than a getaway that you don’t have to plan. Surprise your spouse by planning a romantic weekend getaway, complete with a special dinner, spa day, or a leisurely hike near your lodge. Make a romantic weekend a reality for your Valentine this year.
