Celebrate Valentine's Day In Style
How To Create A Romantic Valentine's Day
Budget Valentine Days Celebration Ideas Included
- Dress your best: This might be the perfect evening gown or suit, sexy lingerie, or simply a silk night gown. Wear something sure to please.
- Do up you hair and nails: Looking your best will help you feel your best.
- Put on your Valentine's favorite fragrance: The olfactory senses are so important to prepare for an evening of romance.
- Create a romantic atmosphere: This will include the right music (love songs of course), candles, decorations, etc. The atmosphere will set the tone for the day.
- Select the right food and drink: How can you celebrate without the perfect drink to toast your love?
- Remember romance: Consider reading your valentine a love poem on this romantic day. One of the most famous poems ever written is reprinted below.
- Call the radio station: Dedicate a song to your valentine and let the world know how much they mean to you. Ask the station if they can tell you when it will be played. Try to organize your evening around it. This is suggested for both budget and non-budget Valentines Days.
- Find the right Valentine's day present: To give you a start, we have listed 10 of our favorites below, including some great budget Valentine's gift ideas.
- Don't forget the card: If you prefer an Ecard, we have listed some of our favorite FREE ecard suppliers below. Otherwise, consider buying a blank card and writing your own poem dedicated to your Valentine. For your convenience, we have gathered some of the best Valentines Cards.
- Go for romance: Buy a book or rent a video on the art of sensual massage. Also buy some scented massage oils and spend the evening practicing! Alternatively, consider a bubble bath for two (a budget Valentine's Day Idea)
- Flowers: What is Valentine's day without flowers? If you do not know your Valentine's favorite flowers, consider long-stem red roses, a classic! If you are on a budget, a single long stem rose will do the trick.
- Create a blog that only invited people can read! (On Blogspot.com, Go to Settings > Permissions > Blog Readers. Select "only these readers" and enter email addresses of your invited readers).
Dedicate the blog to your honey or your relationship. For example, you can make a post every day between now and Valentines Day documenting your preparations. Upload videos (which you create and upload to Youtube. Be sure to set your youtube account on private!), photos, and your thoughts of love. Share it with your honey on Valentines Day. Give it the title "For Your Eyes Only" - Don't just have a quick celebration, make the day last. Celebrate the 12 hours of Valentine's Day. Every hour have a special treat:
1 pm: Send 1 Text Message to invite your partner to their special day.
2 pm: Give your honey two ear rings (or cuff links)
3 pm: Read three poems to your Valentine
4 pm: Make 4 romantic toasts to your partner 15 minutes apart.
5 pm, 6pm etc (continue with your own ideas)
12 pm: Finish the day by giving your loved one a dozen flowers
(budget idea: 12 minutes of massage). - Use your imagination: The sky is the limit! Use creativity to come up with more ideas to demonstrate your love to your Valentine.

Did you know that there is a Valentine, Nebraska and a Valentine, Texas? Valentine, Nebraska calls itself "The Heart City" and proudly makes the following offer to all those planning to wed:"Let the Heart City be the perfect start to your life together! Valentine hosts several February 14th weddings each year, with some couples traveling hundreds of miles to pledge their love in the Heart City. If you are interested in a Valentine's Day wedding, please contact the Valentine Visitor Center at 1-800-658-4024"
There must not be too much love in Valentine, Texas. The population is 187 with only 60 married couples and only 50 children.
Here are a few other places in the USA with romantic sounding names:

The Mystery of St Valentine's Day
Did You Know??
* No one really knows WHY Valentines day is celebrated on February 14. Although Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Termi are associated with 14 February, in 1969 Roman Catholics removed the feastday of Saint Valentine on 14 February from the General Roman Calendar, stating "Though the memorial of Saint Valentine is ancient, it is left to particular calendars, since, apart from his name, nothing is known of Saint Valentine except that he was buried on the Via Flaminia on 14 February."
* No one really knows WHERE the first Valentines day was celebrated. Geoffrey Chaucer, the English poet, best known for "The Canterbury Tales" made the first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love in 1382 in the poem Parlement of Foules:
For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate].
* No one really knows HOW Valentines day became related to the celebration of love. What is known is that feasts of fertility have long been celebrated in the early spring. In the United States, the first mass-produced valentines were produced in 1847 by Esther Howland. Her father had a book and stationery store. Ester received an English valentine and was inspired to market the idea.
Valentine Poetry
A timeless poem of love to read to your valentine on valentines day
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Sonnets from the Portuguese - 43
