Making reservations for a romantic Valentines dinner in a fancy restaurant might sound like a great idea, but if your budget or mid-week schedule just can’t handle that plan, here are some simple ideas to help you make a special DIY Valentine’s Day dinner at home.
Depending on their ages, if you have kids, you can either plan to put them to bed before you dine or include them in on your dinner so that your whole family can celebrate Valentines Day together.
So let’s get started now with some ideas to help you lay out a plan for your Stay-at-Home Valentines dinner.

Keep The Meal Simple
Choose a simple meal that you can make ahead of time, or if you don’t have time for cooking, phone ahead and order some simple take-out food and either pick it up or have it delivered.

Include a Special Valentines Gift for a Future Date
Show your Valentine that you’re totally committed to keeping the sparks and romance going year round, and not just on Valentine’s Day. You can show your love and commitment to keeping the romance going, by purchasing some movie tickets for the two of you or by presenting your Valentine with a gift certificate for a romantic couple’s massage. Or if your Valentine has a favorite restaurant, you can present them with a gift certificate for that restaurant to be used sometime in the future for just the two of you.
