Valentine’s Day, a day filled with love, should be AMAZING. However, it can be stressful, if you are not prepared. Last week’s article provided you some tips for finding that special someone. So, the following Valentine’s day tips will ensure that you have the essential information that you need to make the day as close to perfect as possible for the one you love.
Plan ahead
Valentine’s Day is not something that can be planned at the last minute. Even choosing a card is something that should be done in advance. Enter any card shop or drug store and you will find men and women wandering the card aisle with a panicked look on their face. All the good cards are gone by this time and what is left is usually the funny cards that do little to convey your feelings.
Make reservations
If you plan to go out to eat, you will be joining most of the dating couples and husbands and wise in your state. If you do not want to spend hours searching for somewhere to eat, make reservations. If you don’t, you may just find yourself grabbing a fast food burger.
Primping and Pamering
Take time to primp. Wear your best because you want to look your best. Make sure you have a reservation for a haircut on the 13th, so that you won’t have to run around on the 14th. If necessary, get a manicure (besides, you probably need one).
What to eat
Two things that you do not want to do your big night out is, DRINK TOO MUCH or eat heavy foods. Whether you’re newly dating or been married for 15+ years, being drunk is not a good look. Eat light foods so you do not end up feeling full and bloated. Feeling overly stuffed will put a damper on romance. You will end up wanting to go to bed afterwards, instead of out on the town dancing or looking at the stars.
Have fun
Most importantly, have a good time. Make it fun. Valentine’s Day should not be stressful and stuffy. If something doesn’t work out exactly the way you planned, find a way to laugh it off.
The most important thing to remember on Valentine’s Day is to show your love. That is what the day is all about. This is the day to be mushy and gushing with feelings. Men and women both have a need to know what they are cared about, loved and wanted.
