If the thought of Valentine’s Day seems a little stressful, just take a deep breath, there are many ways to escape from this holiday headache. When it comes to Valentine’s Day expectations, they traditionally include a bouquet of flowers, a delicious selection of chocolates, a dinner for two, or a romantic night in with all kinds of foods, wine, and a movie. 
 

But this year, whether you are in a long-term relationship, married, engaged, or part of something new, you can surprise your boo by setting up the most romantic date night on Valentine’s Day. You might have gone down the traditional route so many times anyway, so maybe you’ve run out of ideas. Here are 5 romantic date night ideas for couples on Valentine’s Day…



1. Plan an entire day together (this is the perfect choice for young lovers or new relationships!) 

An entire day with your partner is the perfect idea to enjoy some quality time together. Here are a few ideas to plan the perfect day for Valentine’s….

Valentine’s Day Morning! 

You have set the alarm to begin the day, (don’t turn the volume up too much so they don’t wake up and you can surprise them!) Carefully sneak out of bed and start cooking their favourite breakfast they can enjoy in bed. Whether they love a classic fry-up, or cheese on toast is their favourite, anything made by you will be ultra special. Just don’t forget their favourite brew to go with it! 

Valentine’s Day Afternoon! 

After enjoying breakfast together, why not plan an afternoon activity that will really ensure this Valentine’s is a memorable one. No need to overthink this, just keep it simple with a delightful walk by the beach, maybe with a nice picnic to enjoy halfway through your walk with your number one!

For couples who prefer to stay inside, why not stay in your pyjamas, grab your favourite snacks, and switch on your favourite series or movie. 

Valentine’s Day Evening! 

If you’re looking to impress, Valentine’s evening is the time to do it. Guys, why not get yourselves suited and booted and ladies, doll yourself up! Spray on your best aftershave and perfume, and wow them this Valentine’s evening!

A table for two booked at your favourite restaurant is a traditional go-to date night idea for Valentine’s Day that will never let any couple down. But if you don’t fancy leaving the house, create your own date night at home! 

2. Enjoy a weekend getaway

There’s no better way to surprise your partner than by taking them away for the weekend. A small weekend getaway is always exciting, and might just be the time away you need! Why not look to book a city break, a romantic and quiet mountain cabin (with a hot tub!) or a trip to the wonderful seaside. The perfect idea if you’re looking to enjoy some quality time with your partner and forget about your worries for the weekend. 

3. Have a wonderful date night at home

For some couples, going out for dinner and drinks is well overrated. Instead, many people love to stay inside and plan a romantic date night that’s more affordable, and just as memorable. Staying in, you can be comfortable in your chill clothes, relax, be your goofiest selves together, most importantly have fun together!

5. Have a backyard dinner

The best part is that all your neighbours will be out enjoying dinner at a restaurant while you both enjoy the peace and quiet with fresh air, beautiful garden flowers, cute lights, and candles to light up the table and the scene, along with lovely food and drinks. It’s going to be perfect.
