A Budget Friendly Valentine’s Day

Keep the romance alive with a Valentine’s Day adventure that won’t break your budget.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

Plan an evening in with a fun board game. Time to dust off the old Uno cards! This can be a fun evening with the most important person in your life. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.

Home Cooked Meal

Life gets busy, so why not treat your significant other with a home cooked meal this Valentine’s Day. It’s an excellent way to avoid crowded restaurants while still celebrating the one you love. There are two important steps to make this successful. First, everyone gets to be a chef. The best memories can come from testing out new recipes together and realizing that you should have stuck to the written recipe. Secondly, have fun and make a messy meal, such as homemade pizza. Finish the night with your favorite music or movie. That way, no matter how poorly the meal turned out, you are both still smiling at the end of the night.

Movie Night

Why not? A home theater experience can be a small event in your living room with your favorite snacks or setting up a projector outside for a ‘drive-in’ experience. Both experiences will create a long-lasting loving memory. Don’t forget the blankets, popcorn, and hand-holding.

Familytine’s Day

Valentine’s Day doesn’t only have to be about romantic love. It can be about familial love and friendship too. Schedule a video call with the ones you love and remind everyone that even though you can’t see them in person, they are always on your mind. To make it extra cheesy, ask everyone to bring their favorite photographs and share some heart-warming memories.
