{Walk and a Picnic}
Want to do something romantic, but want to keep it low key and budget friendly? Go for a stroll in a pretty park, along the beach or near the reservoir. Take along a picnic dinner. Lay out a cute quilt, grab some wine, relax and enjoy each others company!
{Backyard Bar B Q and a Movie}
Are you looking to keep it casual? Grill up your favorite masterpiece, light up the fire pit and spend some time outdoors. If you have an outdoor television, even watch a movie outside!
{Dine at Your First Date}
It's Valentine's, so it's perfectly acceptable to be a little cheesy. Go out to eat where you had your very first date or where you celebrated your first Valentine's Day together and reminisce!
{Baseball Game}
There's nothing better than spending a gorgeous afternoon at a baseball game with good company, tasty hotdogs, and a cold drink! Both Mississippi State and Southern Miss kick off their baseball seasons at home on Valentine's Day. Take a road trip and enjoy the whole day together! You could even make a weekend of it since Valentine's Day falls on Friday this year.
{Boys Night Out}
Speaking of sports, this one's for the single boys! Head out to the local batting cages with some buddies, then go for a round of drinks at your favorite sports bar and catch a game!
{Manicures and Margaritas}
Single this Valentine's? Will your husband be away on business? No problem! Grab some girlfriends and head out for manicures. Follow it up with some tasty margaritas at your favorite happy hour. (This idea even comes with a hashtag!! #manisandmargs ..We love a good hashtag.)
{Wine Tasting}
Who doesn't love a wine tasting? This would be a great first date or double date, as it's interactive and takes a bit of pressure off of constant conversation.
{Home-Made Pizza Night}
Making home-made pizzas is fun for everyone but is also a great first date idea! Buy all sorts of toppings and just have fun with it. It will keep you entertained and give you a chance to learn about the other person.
Call up your girlfriends and have a night filled with all things girly: champagne, cupcakes, gossip and a good chick flick!
{Singles Mixer}
Host a party with all of your single friends and ask everyone to bring a friend with them. You never know when love may be in the air!
{Scavenger Hunt}
Guys! Do you want to really impress the lady in your life? Take a few minutes and put together a scavenger hunt. It can be as simple as a few sweet post-it notes around the house or as elaborate as you'd like! She will just love the extra thought you put into making her day special.
{Breakfast}
Do you already know that you will be working late on Valentine's night? If so, start the morning off with a surprise breakfast!
{Dessert}
Valentine's is all about the chocolate and sweets, right? Go out for yogurt or a delicious GiGi's cupcake.
{Pay the Love Forward}
Not really into Valentine's? Pay the love forward by volunteering with a local charity, paying for someone's meal anonymously or going to visit with the sweethearts at the nursing home!
