Valentine’s day is a fantastic opportunity to show your significant other how much you cherish them. It is a time of the year when all are encouraged—even expected—to go above and beyond.
If you’re planning the perfect Valentine’s date, you’ll need all the resources possible to ensure a perfect day or evening for you and your loved one. To make the task easier for you, we’ve gone ahead and compiled a few simple tips.
Here’s all you need to do to perfect your Valentine’s date plan:
The perfect Valentine’s date begins with a fool-proof plan. And because you’re working it out solo, you need a lot of time to plan everything, so start early.
The first thing you want to do is clear your commitments for the day and probably your partner’s too. But if you want it to be a surprise, you should be careful about it.
The next is to prepare a basic outline for what you want to do from morning to night. Plan the places you want to visit, how much time you’ll need to get there, how much time you’ll spend at every location, etc.
Book restaurants and prepare all invitations and greeting cards well in advance. Anything that helps you have a fun and relaxing day with your loved one should be planned for.
Your choice of Valentine’s gift is the highlight of the whole day, and it is what will definitely mark the occasion. So pouring your time and effort into selecting it is a must.
Steer clear of anything that’s too common or obvious. Think of a gift that your partner will truly appreciate and cherish.
Whether you’re planning to stay in or go out, make sure you dress appropriately and make it as special as you can.
If you’re going out, plan the best outfits for your date and yourself. And if you’re staying in, a matching set of comfortable pajamas can be fun.
You can get a fresh haircut to give your partner a little surprise!
Up the romantic quotient by sending little love notes leading up to the big day. Simple messages that resonate with both of you will be perfect. You can keep it simple or create elaborate designs from online tools.
If you aren’t confident about your drawing skills, why not send a cute personalized Valentine’s day invite to your date?
A fun breakfast is the perfect way to start Valentine’s Day. You can try breakfast in bed or go to a nice sunny spot to enjoy the fresh air.
Consider the time your partner likes to get up in the morning—accommodating their preference is part of the romance!
Not everyone can find the time or take the whole day off to celebrate with their partner, but do try.
Plan activities during the day that will allow both of you to relax and have fun while strengthening your bond.
Depending on what you and your partner are into, you can stay at home and watch your favorite movies, go for a hike, enjoy a picnic, or explore an entirely new location that you will enjoy.
Just make sure to time everything right so you don’t have to miss your dinner reservation. Don’t forget about the traffic you will likely run into—V-day is one of the busiest evenings of the year.
An eventful dinner doesn’t have to be fancy; it can also be a homemade meal for the ultimate comfortable romance. So long as you make it memorable, anything goes.
Think about your plans for the day and how your partner would prefer to spend the evening. If you’re going out, book the restaurant several weeks early. If you’re cooking at home, make sure to get all the ingredients (plus extras) and include the cooking time in your schedule.
Don’t forget the dessert!
You can end things with dinner or continue with a relaxing night back at your place or a hotel.
If you plan a relaxing evening at home, you can decorate your private space to create a cozy and warm atmosphere. Scented candles are the best options, but dim lighting will also do. Go for some soft romantic music if your partner likes it.
Setting everything up in advance will streamline your preparations if you’re planning to have dinner at home too. You can leave the final details for last as you and your partner shift from dinner to a cozy night in.
Planning the perfect Valentine’s Day date doesn’t have to be stressful. We hope this list helps you plan things perfectly so you and your partner can enjoy the perfect day. Have fun!
