When going out isn’t an option, a stay-at-home Valentine’s Day might be the best for you and your love interest. Whether you’re hosting a first date or organizing something special for your significant other, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home.
Bundle Up in the Backyard
Create everlasting memories with your partner by planning a night out under the stars. For a luxurious take on this idea, set up a cabana with cushy seating around your blazing fire pit and indulge in a myriad of sweet options.
Movie Under the Stars
As if the fire pit isn’t enough, melt the heart of your beloved by taking your cabana date up a notch. Using a custom tarp and a couple of ropes, you can rig a screen for an outdoor movie date.
Plan a Marathon
Notch up the romance by planning a marathon of sweet hits. Whether they be old favorites or new classics, there’s always something lovely to play on Valentine’s Day.
To recreate the theater experience, get a projector with a removable set of custom covers and a set of good speakers for a theater amidst the greenery of your backyard. Add popcorn, candy, a bottle of wine and plenty of covers to truly enchant and delight your valentine.
Sweet Treat
For a more intimate experience, you can give your outdoor cabana a warm, dreamy glow. Dangling star lights plus your date’s favorite takeaway place make for a deeply enchanting evening under the stars.
And when dinner is done, snuggle up together with throws and cushy pillow covers. Comfort should never be compromised when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Add custom covers, an outdoor ottoman, and cups of hot cocoa with toasted marshmallows for a sweet end to the day of romance.
Create Your Own Couple’s Cocktail
Bored with the same old cocktails? Channelize your inner mixologist and celebrate love by creating your own signature couple’s cocktail. Start with a base liquor, then pick ingredients that you and your partner love or are keen on trying.
Pro Tip: Take some time to experiment, trying different mixes until you find the perfect combo.
Live. Laugh. Love. Trivia Night
Even if you’ve been together for years, it’s always fun and surprising to learn new things about your partner. Perk up your Valentine’s Day dinner conversation by holding a personal trivia game about you and your partner.
If you want to make it a double date, call your friends over for dinner and go head to head in a couple trivia competition, with a special treat for the winners.
Indulge in Breakfast in Bed
Why wait for Cupid’s arrow when you can win over your love with simple yet impactful gestures like serving breakfast in bed. Make an attractive spread with your partner’s favorite delicacies on a cute tray along with a much-needed mug of savory coffee to start the day.
Include some scrumptious pancakes, heart-shaped cookies, macaroons, cupcakes, and brownies in festive pinks and reds to add that pop of color to your breakfast spread. Remember to bring some fresh flowers and handmade chocolates, as nothing expresses love better than flowers and chocolates!
Dinner Date at Home
Surprise your partner with a romantic dinner date at home. Get creative by setting up a custom-covered table spread with baby pink salad plates, rose gold candlestick holders, and plenty of pink roses.
Pick a dinner spread that you both love and cook it together. Go the full nine yards with your evening’s dress code, by adorning yourselves in your absolute best outfits. And yes, gentleman, that means pulling your tux from the storage bag in your closet.
Couple’s Baking
If you enjoy collaborating in the kitchen, why not try some couple’s baking? From heart-shaped biscuits to beautiful cakes and handmade chocolates to dainty cupcakes, spend some time baking savory treats to spread the sweet scent of love.
Baking is more like a relationship than you might think. Whether you’re doing something from a box or starting from scratch, the key to a sweet and successful final product is making sure all of your ingredients mesh.
Relaxing Spa Day
Dinners are delicious, but a relaxing spa at home can be an extra special gift for your Valentine. From yoga sessions to home saunas and hot stone massages, planning thoughtful self-care activities for your partner can help unwind your mind, body, and soul.
With a few candles, massage oil, and some facial masks, you will be set for an evening of romance with your Valentine. And if you’re riding solo this February 14? Take the opportunity to self care, self love, and self indulge.
