A Valentines Day Inspired Birthday Party for Two
A romantic birthday party for two is great for those with birthdays around Valentines Day, but can be an option for anyone who is romantic at heart. A romantic party will win the heart of a spouse, fiancé or lover and make them feel loved and appreciated.
Set Up
Drop the kids off at their grandparents or other family member so this party is just for two. Give the birthday celebrant a preview of the romantic party to come by scattering rose petals on the walkway used to get into the house after a hard day at work. Another way to set the tone is to line the walkway with votive candles.
Dinner Options
Prepare a feast for two or take the birthday person off to an elegant restaurant. Dinner at home can be very romantic. Use a linen tablecloth and napkins and set the table with good china, silver, wine glasses and provide a lovely centerpiece. Use a simple rosebud in a vase or be more creative using the bud vase and a cylindrical glass vase that is a little wider and the same height. Place the bud vase inside the glass vase and fill the edges with sea shells, colored sand, pebbles or valentine colored candy coated chocolates.
Food Options
Prepare a favorite dish or something elegant and unusual. If cooking isn’t a talent, check with local restaurants to see if the meal can be prepared there and brought home to serve. Prepare an appetizer consisting of crackers and different cheeses and serve a nice wine, if alcohol is an option. Finish the dinner off with a heart shaped decorated cake or some decadent chocolate covered cheese cake.
Gifts
Birthday party gifts that exude romance include flowers and chocolates, and jewelry is always appreciated. Give a gift of a ring, bracelet, or necklace and slip it around the napkin like a napkin ring. Men also enjoy jewelry in the form of cuff links or tie bars. Other options include a certificate to a day at a spa, a massage, tickets to a sporting event or a vacation package.
Other Options
Take a picnic out to the park or beach and spend a romantic afternoon with nature. Go to the zoo or visit a favorite museum. Attend a romantic movie or do something out of the ordinary like seeing a play, symphonic concert or ballet.
Conclude the romantic Valentine inspired birthday party by sprinkling the bed with rose petals and place a card on the pillow filled with personal words of love and appreciation or a little love poem. Let them know they aren’t just getting older. They are getting better.
