Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home – Why Not?

Tuesday, February 12th, 2019

Hearts’ Day is all about having a special day to celebrate with your loved one. Many prefer to go out to wine and dine but what if – for a change – you decide to stay at home instead? Believe it or not, it could become a great way to connect with your spouse.

A romantic dinner right in your own home might not be your first idea to celebrate during this special day but, believe it or not, it is also something that you could make exciting.

 

Here are some awesome tips that you can set up a romantic dinner for you and your sweetheart –

 

Dress Up

 

Staying at home doesn’t mean that you should forget about dressing up for the event. Make this occasion special even when you won’t have to deal with a huge crowd or waiters in tux.

 

Allow your personality to still shine through but not to the point that you end up overwhelming your date. So go ahead and bring out those silks, skirts, and high heels. For the guys, this occasion merits a tie so be sure to wear one.

 

Set Up a Romantic Table

 

Be sure to cover the dining table with a cream-colored linen cloth. Have the silverware wrapped in nothing but the best (cloth napkins). Be sure to tie them with a ribbon (preferably red because of its significance to the occasion).

 

The table display must be kept low so that you can look beyond the flower vases. Don’t forget to bring in some taper candles for your romantic, candlelit dinner. Should you feel the need to add more light, then you can just set up other candles near or around the table.

 

Be sure to use unscented candles only so that they will not affect the flavors of the foods that will be prepared.

 

Use only the fanciest tableware. You can also create a centerpiece of floating tea lights or fresh flowers. Before serving anything, warm the plates in your oven.

 

Play Some Mood Music

 

Be sure to prepare a romantic music playlist for that special evening. Choose from classical or jazz music, whichever you both like, this should be an awesome evening so choose the pieces that will play softly in the dreamy background.

 

Serve a Scrumptious Dinner

 

Just as you prepped the dining area as well as the music that will be playing, you also need to make a plan for the delicious meal. Make sure that the dishes you prepare are those that you both enjoy.

 

Ideas include scalloped oysters, filet mignon, roasted duck or lamb chops. If you’re feeling experimental, then you can go ahead and try other recipes for your special dinner. If you can, you can also prepare the meal together, making the foods served even more special.

 

Keep the food portions small so that you can have the leisure of sampling everything. This is not a night to overstuff yourself even with the most delicious foods.

 

And what’s a dinner without a sweet dessert?

 

Choose a decadent dessert that you will share with your beloved. You can have molten Choco cake, cheesecake, cream puff or any sweet pastry.

 

 

Pick the Best Wine

 

Since it’s a celebration of your love, what could be more apt than champagne? Keep the tradition going by drinking champagne. Be like European royalty who view this sparkling beverage as a status symbol.

 

Get champagne plus a few more bottles of choice wines that would go with the kind of food that you would serve. White wine is typically paired with chicken or fish while the darker wines such as Merlot are eaten with duck, red meat, grilled foods, and pasta.
