The Finishing Touch — Weddings, Events, Design, Paperie

Celebrating Valentine’s Day as an engaged couple is very special as it may be the last time spending it together before saying ‘I Do’. Here are some fun and creative ways to spend the day together without breaking the bank – since after all you are saving up for a wedding!

Enjoy A Night In

Staying in can be just as fabulous as going out on Valentine’s Day! Get dolled up and make a reservation for two at your own dining room table.  Make the night even more memorable by taking the time to cook something new together that may be a little more challenging. If you are not so kitchen saavy, why not order in? Nothing beats a large pizza and two glasses of wine!

Dance the Night Away

Create a dance floor in your own living room or kitchen and hook up your iPod with some romantic tunes. Have you chosen your first dance for your wedding day? If not, use this time to go through songs that might have a special meaning to you and practice for your big day. You may end up finding the perfect one that evening. Don’t forget to practice your wedding day kiss too.

Book It!

Spend some time with your honey by going through photos and creating a scrapbook. Sorting through pictures, ticket stubs, souvenirs and other odds and ends together is always a blast as it brings up wonderful memories. This is a great project to work on together and updating it each year can become a tradition. This could also be a sweet addition to your rehearsal dinner or wedding day for guests to look through. Don’t forget to leave a few pages for some wedding day photos!

Write A Love Letter to One Another

Nothing says romance better than an old fashioned love letter. Writing a genuine note expressing your love to your fiance is memorable in so many ways. It’s great to reflect on all of the reasons why you fell in love and provides a precious memento to keep forever. This is also the perfect way to begin thinking about your wedding vows.

A Little Something Extra

Looking to surprise them with a little something? Think of some small necessities you both may need on your wedding day. Maybe she is still in need of her something blue or he needs a nice pair of wedding day socks. Have a little money to spend? Why not indulge on a wedding day accessory like a watch or a necklace that can be worn on the big day.

The look of freshly fallen snow…the smell of the crisp, cool air…the coziness of a toasty warm fire..the feeling of family and friends bundled up and gathered together..
