Five Creative Valentine Ideas

1. Hire a musician to sing or play for your sweetheart. I knew a fellow who hired a singer to come to a restaurant and serenade his date. He asked the restaurant owner first, of course. She was quite impressed. The other patrons were touched by his romanticism!

2. Hire a chef to come and cook for you and your sweetheart, or for a small group of close friends. If a restaurant chef is out of your price range, call your local culinary school and ask for recommendations of senior students who can handle the job.

3. Take a tour of your city. If you're not going on vacation for Valentine's Day, why not vacation in your own town. Make a list of the places you've never been to: a concert hall, a coffee shop, a unique restaurant, a hotel, a bar, a landmark, a carriage ride, or a park. Spend the day or evening trying all new things in your city. I think this idea really puts sizzle into date!

4. Not going out to dinner? Plan a special evening at home. Start with a clean house and don't forget the details, decorate each room for romance, even the bathroom.

Fill rooms with a romantic glow by using candles or white Christmas lights. Don't forget to have flowers, music, and cards. Set a well-decorated table.

If you don't cook, order out and use your good dishes. If you do cook, visit our dinner party ideas pages for recipes. Make a wonderful romantic dinner for two.

5. Love is free date! This date requires real creative Valentine ideas, but it's surprising to see what you can do for free! My husband and I once decided to spend an entire day doing all the free things available.

We started with brunch at home, and made a romantic picnic for the day. Our morning began with a short hike at a nearby state park.

We ate our picnic lunch, and continued our day visiting museums and gardens that are open to the public. We did eat out that evening, but we ended our date by indulging in a free concert held in the city's open space.

You can recreate many aspects of this date, by exploring what your local area has to offer. Many towns have coffee shops, bars and other venues that offer free music concerts for the price of a drink.

If gardens or museums are hard to come by, take a walk through the city's historic districts, bring a camera and take pictures of the things you hadn't noticed before.
