At-Home Valentine's Day Date Ideas

They say “Home is where the heart is”. So why go anywhere else for Valentine’s Day? While others scramble for dinner reservations and book expensive getaways, you can relax and enjoy a romantic night in the comfort of your own home.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to involve a restaurant dining experience or an exotic getaway. The most important part of the holiday is spending time with the one you love, and that can happen right in your home. With a little advanced planning, it’s easy to create a memorable and romantic weekend with the one who matters the most.


Here are creative ways you can turn your home into a romantic sanctuary and celebrate your love:


Cook a romantic dinner


Most of us have a favorite dish from our favorite restaurant — the one we crave time and time again. Have you ever tried to recreate that dish at home? With a little internet research, you can often replicate fancy restaurant meals at home.


Turn your living room into a ballroom


When’s the last time you and your sweetheart went dancing? Move aside the living room furniture to create some space, cue up some music and dance the night away. You can learn traditional ballroom dance moves like the Tango or Salsa with online courses or just freestyle it with your favorite music.


Cuddle up and watch a movie


There’s no better excuse than Valentine’s Day to snuggle under a blanket and watch a romantic movie. Or you could snuggle and watch home movies or look through old photo albums.

Surprise your partner with a backyard picnic


There’s something romantic about a picnic for two. If you live in a mild climate, create a backyard picnic and stargaze with your sweetheart. Lay out a quilt or blanket and feast on a variety of portable foods. If the weather outside is frightful, you can host a picnic indoors by laying out a blanket and pillows to make it cozier.


Channel your inner pastry chef


Nothing is sweeter than preparing a fancy dessert with your partner. Elevate your baking skills with some heart-shaped dessert.. Or create a simple, romantic dessert such as chocolate-dipped strawberries paired with champagne. Just dip fresh strawberries into melted chocolate (semisweet chocolate chips melted in the microwave work great) and place them in the refrigerator to harden for an hour before serving.

Play games


Being playful and having fun isn’t just for children. Research shows that adults benefit from games too. They’re a source of relaxation, and they build your problem-solving skills, which can help strengthen your relationship. On Valentine’s Day, dust off your favorite board games, grab a deck of cards or play a round of Truth or Dare with your partner.


Create art together


Tap into your creative side and make some artwork together as a couple. You could create a collage of photographs of each other, write a poem together or gather some paints and a canvas and paint a romantic image. No matter what you create, display it as a reminder of your love for one another.


Of course, these ideas also work for date nights at home, not just on Valentine’s Day. So keep them handy year-round to celebrate the person you love the most in the place you love the most.
