Everyone's most "favorite" day is February 14th or Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Many people, especially single people, actively sabotage this holiday, claiming that it was artificially created for commercial purposes. This opinion is not without logic, but one really wants to believe in the romantic fairy tale about the Roman priest Valentin, who gave his life for marrying lovers in defiance of the orders of Emperor Claudius II. This story is passed on from mouth to mouth by those who firmly believe in the invincible power of love and happily celebrate this day with their soulmate.
By the way, February 14 is a Catholic holiday. Orthodox traditions have their own Valentine's Day - on July 8, the church celebrates the day of Saints Peter and Fevronia, who lived in love and harmony and died on the same day, but for some reason few people even know about it, let alone celebrate it! Moreover, this is not the first holiday that we have adopted from the West, so it is not surprising that on February 14 many Ukrainians buy thousands of bouquets and cards, kilograms of sweets and take their loved ones to some romantic place!
But this is the simplest and most unpretentious way to celebrate Valentine's Day. If you want something more original, read to the end!
Since this year February 14 is Tuesday, the time spent together may be quite short. Your task is to use it to your advantage!!
You can, for example, meet after work and go somewhere for dinner (it’s corny, but you have to eat!). In this case, you need to book a table in advance. And after that, go to some square or just a fairly large open space and launch a heart-shaped flashlight into the sky. They are now sold at every turn and this fun is becoming increasingly popular among young people.
If you have just met your couple and have not yet confessed your love to each other, but still decided to celebrate this day, then this is a great opportunity to get to know each other better. The truth or dare game is perfect for these purposes. The essence of the game is that you take turns asking each other questions, maybe provocative ones, and your partner must answer, but be sure to tell the truth. Anyone who refuses to answer the question will have to fulfill the desire of another. Desires, by the way, can also be provocative.
A more original option for a romantic dinner might be to cook it together at home. It’s better to prepare the necessary products in advance so that you don’t have to run to the store for green peas!) And then, lo and behold, it won’t even come to food! The main thing is not to burn down the apartment, the rest is at your discretion!
If you and your significant other have been married for several years, then a romantic dinner by candlelight will no longer surprise you! Try something more radical. For example, go to a sex shop together and pick up something there that will undoubtedly warm up your feelings for each other! Of course, a test drive that same night is a must!
You can arrange a street quest for your significant other. It’s better, of course, for it to happen during daylight hours! Leave messages in different places of the city with further instructions and tips, and coordinate the process using SMS messages. You can find a lot of examples on the Internet, and the prize at the end of the game will be a meeting with you - why not the best gift?
What if you haven't met your soulmate yet? What then, is this holiday not for you?! No! On this day everyone should feel, so to speak, the spirit of love! You can prepare small cards and souvenirs for all the relatives and friends you love to once again say about your feelings! After all, often we simply don’t have time for this.
Often, educational institutions organize the so-called “Mail for Lovers.” For example, when I studied at KUTEP, who doesn’t know (Kiev University of Tourism, Economics and Law), we had a large, beautifully decorated box for anonymous messages for each faculty! (Hello to classmates!!)) You could secretly confess your feelings to anyone . Of course, it was a little childish, but there was a feeling of celebration. A couple of times I received anonymous messages like this. I remember it lifted my spirits for the whole day! If your university has such an opportunity, take advantage of it.
In general, you can choose any method you like. The main thing is not to ignore this day! After all, this is another great reason for a good mood!
The closer the holiday gets, the more often we think about how to make Valentine's Day unforgettable. Surely, everyone dreams of celebrating it beautifully and romantically in the company of their loved ones. But how to make the holiday special?
How to celebrate February 14? Ideas.
I will give you a few ideas that you can use to turn your holiday into a real fairy tale, the memories of which will warm you on long and cool evenings. Don't forget to talk to each other and .
Don't forget about gift ideas.
Romantic dinner at home.
1. Do you think going to a restaurant is boring and banal? Then it's better to have a romantic dinner at home. In this case, you can act as a seductress and dance an oriental dance. Evening, candles and slow music will make your evening unforgettable. For the very busy, the easiest option is to order a romantic dinner with delivery; many companies provide such a service. Choose the cuisine that you like (Japanese, Russian, Tatar, Italian). Don't forget about wine, candles, flowers.
If you decide to cook dinner yourself, then...
Romantic photo session.
Travel or excursion.
5. A joint trip out of town can be no less exciting. It is worth organizing a horseback ride or just a tour through the forest. You will enjoy feeling free away from civilization.
Travel agencies have programs for lovers, for example to the city of love Paris or romantic Venice.
An unusual date.
6. By February 14 - Valentine's Day, many establishments and companies offer many options for celebrating the holiday. The interiors are decorated in a special way and a festive program is being prepared. It’s unusual to have a date and dinner: on the roof, on the subway, on the tram, in a museum. It's original to have dinner in the dark.
Cinema for two.
7. Almost every major city has a cinema where you can watch almost any film together. The film may come with a romantic menu and appropriate setting. It is better to book such entertainment in advance.
Party at the water park.
8. I really liked the idea of going to a night party at a water park. Look at the Events Poster of your city, perhaps such a Poolparty is taking place in your place. Lovers are provided with refreshments, a festive program and music from invited DJs, and beautiful lighting of the pools.
Joint master class.
9. A new direction that is gaining momentum is joint master classes. Choose what you like, I will list what master classes there may be:
Popular.
- Sand show. You will watch a sand show and then create your own sand painting.
- We are preparing a romantic dinner. Restaurants in the city offer this service. You cook dinner at a place with a chef, and then eat it in a romantic setting.
- Pair dance lesson with a professional choreographer.
- Saumille for two or Valentine's Day in wine. At this master class, you will learn the history of wines, the romantic moments of creating a particular wine, learn and taste wines that enhance romantic feelings, and an experienced sommelier will tell you the secret of choosing wines.
- Pottery art, learn how to make original clay products.
- Master class “Sensual massage”. Experienced specialists will teach a couple in love the art of massage.
Star romance.
10. Spend time with your loved one among the stars and planets. This can be tripled by booking an excursion to the Star Planetarium. The excursion should be booked in advance, as there are many people interested.
A simple walk.
11. Walk hand in hand along the snow-covered streets and soak up the spirit of celebration and love. Many parks and central places of the city prepare their own entertainment program. Anyone can easily take part in such an event, for example, in a competition for the longest kiss.
In fact, there are many options for how to celebrate Valentine's Day. But remember, the main thing is not where you spend it, but how much attention and care you give each other. This day should not only start beautifully, but also end beautifully.
Valentine's Day is a holiday that is viewed differently in Russia. Some couples don’t even remember about it, and some always prepare romantic surprises for their other half. We want you not to forget about this day and please your loved one with something special.
1. Nostalgic day
To refresh old feelings, you need to bring them back into your head and heart. Therefore, remember the first meeting, the first dates, the first kiss. Remember that restaurant where you went for the first time, visit that park where you first took each other’s hands, climb that bridge where you kissed for the first time.
Just think through everything in advance: develop a route, book a table, collect everything that reminds you of a pleasant past (of course, you don’t need to come to the apartment where you lived five years ago). Nostalgia is great, but not more than once a year.
Another idea: On Valentine's Day, lay down a “time capsule.” Write a romantic letter about what you have now and what you would like to achieve together in the future. Agree on how long you will open this message. After a couple of years, you will be incredibly pleased to remember your old dreams, especially if they all came true.
2. Educational day
Try learning something together. For example, the most commonplace option is to take a dance master class. Just choose something very sensual: salsa, tango or waltz. This is a great way to get to know each other from a new side.
You can also sign up for a sommelier master class (you'll then boast that you've become a wine expert).
In fact, you can do anything - you just need to find something interesting for both of you.
3. Relaxing day
In the bustle of everyday life, we forget how nice it is to relax in the arms of a loved one after a hard day.
Have a day of complete relaxation on February 14 and sign up for. Chocolate wrap, massage, champagne, scrub... Do you think a man won’t be interested in this? No matter how it is!
Men also really like such procedures, but sometimes they are afraid to admit it.
Another idea: You can rent a room in a good hotel with a spa program. Go to the pool, have a massage, and then order a romantic dinner in your room.
4. Travel day
If traveling is your common passion, then going on a trip is the best decision for Valentine's Day.
You can drive to a nearby city on Friday (or fly to another country) and spend the entire weekend there. This idea may seem banal to you, but nothing brings people closer together than shared experiences.
You can discuss the route with your partner in advance, but it's better to make it a surprise.
Secretly buy tickets, book a hotel, quietly collect things for two, come up with a legend (for example, that you urgently need to go to the store or to the cinema), and then admit that the store is in another city!
Another idea: Find a good restaurant in advance in the city where you are going. A festive dinner should take place in any case.
What could be more romantic than escaping together to the mysterious Northern Palmyra on Valentine's Day?
Climb under the dome of the House of Books and admire St. Petersburg, wind up the Peacock clock in the Hermitage, ride in a retro tram through the streets of the city, enjoy the stunningly beautiful ballet “The Legend of Love” at the Mariinsky Theater in the royal box, take your beloved on an icebreaker ride through ice-bound waters Neva, seat your beloved in a personalized chair in a private hotel box at the Mikhailovsky Theater...
The Belmond Grand Hotel Europe staff will help you make all her dreams come true!
You can book a room at the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe here.
5. Holy Day
Spend this day in bed. Or you can do it in the kitchen, in the living room, in the hallway... Well, you get the idea.
Let this be a day of forbidden topics. Try something you've wanted for a long time, but were afraid to admit.
Another idea: try to be “artists”. Paint your bodies with special paint, and before it dries, start loving each other on a white sheet! And then look what you got.
6. Cinematic day
We're not suggesting that you watch your favorite love movies at home all day (although that's a good idea too). Try to recreate the romantic dates you saw in the movies.
For example, dress warmly, go to the local river or lake and lie down on the ice. Just like in the amazing movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Another idea: you can even arrange a photo shoot, stylized as a famous film.
7. Zooden
This option will appeal to those couples who truly love animals. Go horseback riding or dog sledding. It's really very romantic and fun.
Afterwards, you can arrange a “charity” date: go to a shelter with pets. Walk with the dogs, feed them, pet them.
Such kind deeds truly bring people together. And maybe you will finally decide to get a little puppy or kitten?
Another idea: you can go to the zoo, feel like little children and watch animals that live in pairs.
8. Nature day
Go out of town early in the morning. This can be an independent outing, or you can pre-book a small house for two.
Walk through the forest, cook kebabs on the fire, feed the birds, just be together. Sometimes we need a change of scenery to shake ourselves up and look at our loved one with new eyes.
Another idea: combine business with pleasure - go skiing or skating together.
9. Extreme day
Give each other an “extreme surprise”: hot air balloon flight, parachute jump, snowmobiling, scuba diving, paragliding, zorbing, helicopter ride... The choice is yours.
You know that endorphin (“the hormone of happiness”) is often produced along with adrenaline? You'll see, your loved one (beloved) will not be able to stand on his feet!
Another idea: prepare an interesting quest. Come up with tasks and a route for your significant other - for example, to go around all your memorable places. Each of them will contain a small surprise (your favorite chocolate bar or flower) and a new task.
Do not leave them in public places - it is better to hand them over in person when your love gets to you in a restaurant or coffee shop.

What not to do on Valentine's Day 2020
- You cannot pretend and express resentment or dissatisfaction. Even if your lover didn’t give you what you wanted, you shouldn’t express your resentment and ruin your holiday mood. After all, it is much higher than confetti and tinsel.
- You can’t be late, just like on any other day: it’s rude and impolite. In addition, it may spoil the surprise, if one was intended.
- You can’t give a ring (advice for guys) if you don’t plan to ask for your hand in marriage, otherwise you risk running into, if not rudeness, then a spoiled mood.
- Don't give trivial gifts just for the sake of giving. Be creative in your selection process.
- You can’t give too much so as not to embarrass your significant other. Perhaps your loved one has prepared a very modest gift; this also needs to be taken into account so as not to spoil the holiday.
- You shouldn't give banal roses. There are a million colors and ways to present them. Therefore, you should not get hung up on a relic of time, unless the girl loves these flowers.
- Do not check the page on the social network of your loved one, and even more so, do not go to the page of your “ex”.
- Do not compare the current day with previous days of previous years. This can cause discomfort and frustration. The only thing you should remember on this special day is your feelings.
- Don’t radically change your appearance before the holiday, because you can’t always get the desired result the first time, and it’s very easy to ruin it with your bad mood.
- You should not experiment with erotic lingerie if you have never tried wearing it. As a last resort, it is better to find out whether your partner likes this.
- You should not go to a restaurant unless you have reserved a table in advance. Most likely you will no longer find free space. However, you can always organize a romantic dinner at home.
- If you don't have a partner, then you shouldn't spend this day alone. Organize a small party with friends, go to the cinema or theater, arrange a home movie show.
