Fun Valentine’s Day Ideas

A yawn escapes as you find yourself all dressed in a fancy restaurant, with roses and a card in your hand. A bit weary after work, you wonder if the formality of celebrating your love on this particular day is really required. You could have snuggled up in home, close to each other, while watching your favorite romantic flick and enjoying a hot cuppa. Blind faith in formal Valentine’s Day celebrations and aggressive marketing on the part of corporate companies have commercialized the day beyond its meaning. Year after year, it is celebrated with the same monotonous color and very few shades of love. The word ‘love’ has been glorified and misused. Its meaning has become lost in the speed of modern ways, but the emotion thankfully still remains. Very few people nowadays go out of the way and make an effort to show their love to people they care for. Even if they do, it becomes quite impersonal and effortless, what with modern communication techniques like SMS, chat and email being used. Old school romancing and courting is no longer alive; rather a different form of virtual connection precedes it all. To be a class apart, you must be creative in finding unique and fun ways to show your love on Valentine’s Day. Find a few ideas shared further on, to make the day memorable for you and your beloved.
