I used to love getting all dolled up for Valentine’s Day dinner and splurging on a big fancy meal, but I have to admit, it kind of has lost its luster after all this time. Restaurants are always crowded, usually have a pre-fix menu which I’m never really a fan of and it just gets a littler repetitive. So today, I thought it would be fun to help you brainstorm Six “Outside of the Box” Valentines date ideas.
6 Valentines Date Ideas
If you’re already planning on dinner, no worries! You can pin these Valentines date ideas and use them for your next date!
- Dump “Date Night” and have a Day Date. Instead of heading to a fancy dinner, head to lunch at the same place, or head to a hot dog stand. Plan lunch somewhere, then meander somewhere else for coffee or a mid day glass of wine. No one said being romantic had to happen in the evening, you can have a beautiful sunny day date and it will be less crowded and possibly even more fun! Aaron and I recently did a walking food tour during the day and it was such a blast!
- Eat In. One of my favorite things to do is make a really nice meal together, or you could even invite other couples over and have a Valentine’s Date Party. Open a bottle of wine, put on some Sinatra and cook something fancy that you don’t typically have time for. You could even prepare something like this and plan a floor picnic complete with fresh flowers, pillows and candles.
- Showtime. Have a movie you’ve been wanting to see? Better yet, what about a concert, comedy show, performing arts event, etc. Buy some tickets and in lieu of dinner, head to the concession stand.
- Spa it Up. Take a time out for the entire day and spend it at the spa together. This.sounds.like.heaven. Block your whole day off for the ultimate day of relaxation with the one you love.
- Head Outdoors. Visit a new hiking trail and pack a picnic lunch, go play tennis or golf or even play tourist in your own city. Fresh air beats fresh flowers.
- Take a class. Wine and Design, Cooking, Wine Tasting, Pottery, Dancing, etc. The possibilities are endless. Register for a class together. It’s sure to make you laugh, entertain and be a great experience.

This year, we actually are postponing our plans until the weekend since it’s impossible to enjoy Valentine’s Day on a Tuesday evening when we both work. We’ll be celebrating that following weekend and I’m already brainstorming what we’ll get into!
