I am blessed to be married to a man who is thoughtful and creative about birthdays, anniversaires and Valentine’s Days. My husband and I love being spontaneous and we don’t always celebrate specials days on those days. We have gone to dinner to celebrate Valentine’s Day several days after the crowds are in the restaurants. Love that has no rules. What’s better? 💘
Regardless of when you celebrate the special day, here are some ideas to dial up the romance this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re in the honeymoon phase or celebrating years of love, here are 20 date night ideas to make your Valentine’s Day memorable.
