Valentine’s Day: More Than Just a Day to Remember
February 14th is one of the most celebrated days. Most people anticipate this day because it is a day to show love to your lover or your loved ones. However, some people do not believe a day should be dedicated for this purpose. Instead, you can show love every day.
Nevertheless, you can choose to make this special day a memorable one. How? You can decide to ask out the one you love and want to be with, propose to your girlfriend, or marry the love of your life. Imagine yourself getting married to the one you love on Lovers’ Day? That’s memorable.
How to Ask Out the One you Love on Valentine’s Day
Waiting for Valentine’s day to ask out the one you love is romantic. Take the bold step by:
- Sending flowers and cake. You can include a card that expresses your intention.
- Showering him/her with gifts.
- Holding his/her hand (The Korean romance style). Don’t just hold hands, make use of words too.
- Be direct. Walk up to the person and ask.
Whichever one you choose, simplicity is the key. Keep it real.
Steps to Planning Valentine’s Day Proposal
There are three key things you must do if you choose to propose on Valentine’s day.

- Surprise Her: It is no new thing that a lot of people propose on Valentine’s day. Do not make it obvious that you will pop the ring on that day.
- Creativity: There are many ways to be creative when it comes to proposals. Even if you end up hiring a planner to help you out, you can chip in unique details/things that are peculiar to her or both of you.
- Hire a Photographer: Make sure to get a standby photographer to capture every moment.
5 Proposal Ideas
- Treasure Hunt: Give her clues. Different clues will lead her to the proposal venue.
- Romantic Getaway: Plan a romantic trip a few days before Valentine’s Day. You can then choose a special moment to propose.
- Sing for Her: Either you know how to sing or not, singing before getting on your kneel to pop the question is romantic.
- Recreate your First Moment: You can recreate the first time you met or the first date and propose.
- Send Her Hints: This is similar to the treasure hunt only that you can start giving her hints, one day at a time till Valentine’s day.
You can propose privately or in public. Whichever place you settle for, make sure it is romantic. Flowers, champagne, romantic music she likes, every other romantic thing she likes.
Using Valentine’s Theme to Plan your Wedding
When planning for Valentine’s day wedding, one thing you should bear in mind is that; you will need to decorate with a lot of heart-shaped designs right from your invitation card, down to your cake.
Plan to design Valentine theme invitation cards, use heart-shaped balloons, romantic candles, love arch, romantic seating arrangement, rose bouquet, and heart-shaped ring box.
For Classic Couples:
Though a classic wedding may seem traditional you can make yours unique. Your dress can be romantic, matched with classic heels. You can choose to wear the heels with a mixture of two colors (preferable white and blush pink), and the groom can wear a black tie. The bridesmaid can wear black classic dresses.
For Fun Loving Couples:
The fun starts right from the invitation cards. The cards should be colorful, designed with beautiful flowers. The bride can wear her dress in any Valentine’s color and any length (short or long). She can use any style of her choice but should pay attention to the neckline. The preferable neckline is a heart shape.
Instead of using the traditional wedding shoe design, she can rock a pair of beautiful sandals heels. The groom can wear a heart-shaped boutonniere. Bridesmaids can dress in floral-print designers (bearing Valentine’s colors).
Once you have decided to have a Valentine-themed wedding, make sure you inform your guests on time so they can plan to attend.
