Best Activities to do on Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so it’s time to start thinking about how to celebrate it. There are many ways to show your love and appreciation for your partner. While one partner may love a fancy dinner, another may prefer a picnic under the stars.
You will probably have a good idea of what will work best for you as a couple. Your partner would love any activity that shows thoughtfulness on your part. Here are some activities to consider from which you are likely to find at least one that appeals to you.
Play Valentine-themed games
A really fun game for couples is to fill in a list with the names of love songs and artists. Invite some other couples around, play a mix of the songs, and then add up the scores. Whoever gets the most song titles and artists correct wins the game.
Couples can also play a Valentine’s Day version of charades that includes romantic movies, books, etc. There are also fun card games with a romantic twist, especially for couples. Another option is to go for online gambling and play Valentine-themed slots. It can be fun playing slot games like Immortal Romance or Full Moon Romance.
Binge-watch romantic movies
Binge-watching some feel-good romantic movies is always a good way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. It’s the one time when you may be able to get your partner to watch them with you. If you choose a humorous romantic movie, both of you are more likely to enjoy it.
A good choice is the funny rom-com Always Be My Maybe starring Ali Wong. If you want to view a steamy costume drama, Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a good option. Some classic favorites to watch are You’ve Got Mail and The Notebook.
Watch your wedding video
When you watch your wedding video together, it will bring back the memories of the day you said: “I do.” Set the scene with candles and a soft blanket to cuddle under on the couch. You could watch a highlight reel that focuses on the most significant moments and eat some of the food you ate on the occasion. Think about a small, thoughtful gift for your partner related to your wedding day.
Picnic under the stars
Arranging a picnic under the stars in a romantic spot will impress your date. You could do it in a private place that’s special to you. Pack a basket with delicious snacks and a bottle of champagne. This simple yet romantic occasion can bring you closer as you gaze at the stars together. Remember to take warm blankets to throw over you as the evening gets cooler.
Take an online cooking class
If you both love cooking, a wonderful activity to do together is to take a virtual cooking class. You could choose a cuisine you both enjoy, such as Asian cuisine. You will follow the instructor to create a meal and then you can sit and enjoy what you’ve prepared together. Set the table beforehand so it looks special and you can have a romantic evening bonding over a shared experience.
Attend a comedy show
If you love your partner’s sense of humor, you can celebrate Valentine’s Day by laughing together at your favorite stand-up comedian. Feel the endorphins flowing as you share some laughs and enjoy time together. You can also go out for a special dinner after the show for further quality time where you would talk about the best moments in the show.
Go on a hot air balloon ride
Perhaps you and your partner have always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon. This may be one of the items on your bucket list. It could be a very romantic experience as you float over some awe-inspiring views together.
Hot air balloon operators often offer Valentine’s Day specials. Once the ride is over, you can enjoy a glass of bubbly together and a fresh breakfast. You can also arrange to stay overnight at a location nearby where you have a special dinner that evening.
