Today is the big day and you find yourself without restaurant reservations or basically any plans. Maybe you are in a newer relationship, just spaced out on making plans, or on a budget. Don't panic with that deer caught in the headlights look. We have put together a simple, affordable, yet romantic Valentine's dinner you can pull together in no time. Everything you need can be picked up at your local super market.
Start with some candles and a bottle of wine. Add a romantic movie and a single red rose. Forgo the generic Valentine's card and write a personal note instead, expressing your true thoughts and feelings, as well as things that make your special someone special to you. It will prove the odd addage that it's the thought that counts. If you actually put thought into a personal letter you can create a very special momento to be treasured.
If your culinary experience is lacking, do not pick tonight to experiment for the first time, but go with a take out pizza. Set the table with candles, a tablecloth, your nicest plates; whatever you have to create a special ambiance. Toast your special person, present the single red rose and hand written letter. Follow with wine, pizza and a chick flick. Voila! A simple, affordable, yet romantic Valentine's!
