“Every day is Valentine’s Day with you”. Yet, you lovebirds are planning to blind the rest of us with your PDA on February 14. Not to worry, we love it for you! Love is a beautiful thing, and it’s okay to go all out to show your affection. But, how would you manage when the cost of celebrating the love of your life comes with a hefty price tag? The answer is simple – plan your Valentine’s Day on a budget. Below, we have curated some creative and budget-friendly ways to help you enjoy the day with your special someone.
Picnic Dates
A picnic date is not only cost-effective, but it is one of the most intimate ways to spend Valentine’s Day with your lover. For this, take your time to scout for the most affordable and decent parks in your city or town. This affordability of the park is determined by the cost of entry. In most parks, this is minimal, and you can have a fun-filled, romantic time. It’s a picnic date, so do not forget to pack your edibles – this can be fruits, sandwiches, a take-out, or even better, a homemade meal from your kitchen.
Recreate Your First Date
Still, remember how your first date went? We may not have been there, but it’s easy to guess that it was where you felt that spark that made you decide to go all the way. Given that we usually do not spend extravagantly on first dates, this idea would be a great option for you to cut costs and relive those unforgettable memories. To spice things up, you can take a thoughtful gift to surprise your partner with.
Budget-Friendly Gifts
What’s a perfect Valentine’s Day without gifting? Since we’re on a budget, you don’t have to go out of your way to order IG gift box packages in 6 figures. The good news is that gift boxes come with different packages, and depending on your vendor, you can suggest your ideal gifts for your Val even if this is a cost-effective approach, you can still make it special by adding thoughtful gift choices. This can be a photo collage of your memories together, alongside a handwritten note (customized or plain).
Movie Night
Talk about a perfect opportunity for Netflix and chill. Whether you choose to set up your movie theatre in-house, or you choose to visit a cinema, you’ll still be celebrating your Val on a budget. However, to make the experience more romantic, you should consider planning a love-themed movie night. For a wholesome experience, create a cozy atmosphere – we’re talking dim lighting, petals, and some scented candles. Finally, making the perfect choice of romantic movies will help you to seal the night.
Couple Games Night
A couple of games night with your boo will not only make the day more eventful, but it can also be an avenue to have some interesting conversations with one another. For example, a game like the “21 Questions” game is a perfect way to review your journey so far and identify areas that you both need to improve on. Also, you can invest in a number of card games, board games, or even a scavenger hunt. The aim is to have some quality time with the love of your life and create lasting memories this Valentine’s Day.
