How to Plan a Romantic Valentine's Day Evening at Home

Surprise someone special by planning a romantic Valentine's Day evening at home. To pull this off, the romantic day has to be exceptional. This is a day of passion, and love. Lover's have cried bloody tears and composed music in the name of love. This can be a day to say 'I love you' or a day to ask for ones hand in marriage. Love and passion, friendship and joy, happiness and gentleness, or the gentle passion of lovers who are each other's best friends - a choice makes the day a special one, perhaps to remember for a lifetime. Something romantic often becomes that way because it seems rare, mysterious, mystical, secretive, or protected. Begin this process by creating an air of anticipation for a romantic Valentine's Day.

[The legend of St. Valentine:

There are several legends about St. Valentine. In one particular legend, St. Valentine tried to keep the Romans from beating and torturing Christians. Imprisoned and eventually killed because of his efforts, he sent the first Valentine himself. While in prison, he fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before his death, he wrote her a letter and signed it 'From your Valentine'.]

Dab the scent of roses on the Valentine's Day card to make it more romantic. Find potpourri oils in hobby stores or stores with hobby departments.
