Valentine’s Day is a really special day of the year to a lot of couples. Whether you’ve been dating someone for a while, are in a long term relationship or are newly in love, you’re certain to be wondering about what to do to make valentine’s weekend special this year.
There are lots of different things you can do to make it one to remember, here’s some inspiration to get you feeling all romantic whatever type of couple you are:
A Romantic Dinner
A simple way to celebrate Valentine’s Day if you’re a couple not looking to make a fuss is to go for a romantic meal. If you’re planning on heading somewhere fancy, make sure that you make a reservation soon as with the special day being on a Sunday this year, Saturday night is bound to be busy. If you don’t want to go to a busy restaurant full of other couples you could even cook for your partner and make something extra special. Make sure that you’ve got a few candles lit, a lovely bunch of roses and something fizzy chilling in the fridge to make it super special.
A Weekend Away
If you’ve been together awhile and are looking to put a little bit of excitement back into your relationship or you’re in the honeymoon period and can’t wait to spend some alone time together then a weekend away is a great idea. Going on a city break or escaping to the countryside is a great way to spend some quality time together as a couple and get that romantic spark back. Complete with a gorgeous meal and beautiful hotel room, there’s no better way to spend Valentines. Take a look at the gorgeous weekend breaks at Classic British Hotels, which are sure to impress your loved one.
A City Break
If you’re really wanting to impress your loved one this year then the best way to do it is with a city break. Book tickets to a romantic destination and surprise them a few days before. Whether you head to Paris, Dublin, Amsterdam or further afield is up to you. Although a more expensive weekend, going abroad will certainly impress. Book a night at a famous restaurant or go sightseeing to make it extra special.
So, whatever type of couple you are, there’s definitely something you can do to make sure that this Valentine’s Day is one you won’t forget.

We have celebrated V-day about twice in 14 years. This year we are going out for dinner at a local restaurant for a curry because it’s our absolute favourite!
Miranda says
That’s sounds lovely, I love curry. We don’t usually celebrate V-day on the day itself for us it’s either the weekend before or after
Emma says
I love the city breaks idea – however we are not ones to celebrate valentines day usually. I guess we should make the effort more!
Miranda says
Me too I love city breaks
Rachel says
I dont know what we are doing, if anything, this year, it isnt something we tend to make a big deal of x
Miranda says
I am one of those people that don’t usually make a big deal about it but I want to this year
Kara says
I have to admit we don’t really celebrate valentines – we are on holiday with the kids this year
Miranda says
Have a nice holiday
Lisa (Travel Loving Family) says
Great ideas, I will leave this article up on my screen as a big hint to my husband!
Miranda says
Hahahaha
Baby Isabella says
We love the M&S two can dine in offer, as we never have time or the money for a romantic weekend break!
Miranda says
I love M&S but never tried it
Emma says
We don’t really do much on valentine’s day as it’s hubby’s bday on the 11th and our wedding anniversary on the 21st. I might cook a nice dinner though
Miranda says
Awwww that’s so cute, I would just cook too
BloggerMummyLauren says
Some really great ideas here. We’ve never really celebrated valentines day, I usually buy my husband a card but that’s about it!
Miranda says
Thanks, a card is nice. We usually go for a meal but I want to cook something
Lukeosaurus And Me says
Nice ideas, I’d love a weekend away or a city break. Unfortunately we don’t have any spare money 🙁 Ray xx
Miranda says
Thanks. I think in that instance a romantic meal at home for two is a great idea
Eve Redmond says
I love the idea of a city break. Unfortunately though as we are now parents it just isn’t feasible! We will definitely be doing something romantic together though like going for a meal x
Miranda says
As much as I love city breaks I am more of a weekend getaway kind of girl
Roxie says
I love your ideas. I really need to put more effort in this year, although I have no money so it will prob be a handmade card and a M&S dine for two deal!
Miranda says
Thanks, I think that sounds amazing too. What’s important is that you spend it together however you can
Tori Gabriel says
Great ideas but with two under twos I think our Valentines Day will be a movie at home interrupted by calls of “a glass of water” and “I can’t sleep”. LOL.
Miranda says
Lol! Bless I am sure even that will still be very special
