20 Sweet Ideas for Your First Valentine’s Day as an Engaged Couple
Valentine’s Day is coming around the corner. However, for the new couples, it might be a challenging thing. There are a lot of ways to choose: to have dinner at a fancy restaurant, enjoy the day at home, and so on. Too many choices, and you don’t know where to start? That’s why, in today’s tutorial, we will show you how to celebrate the first Valentine’s Day as an engaged couple. So, let’s dive in!
How to Celebrate First Memorable Valentine’s Day for a Engaged Couple
Breakfast in bed
This is especially handy if you’re in the middle of a hectic work season. Before you begin your day, get up a bit earlier and spend an hour or two cuddling with your significant other. Just keep some extra coffee on hand. Here are some of the recipes for breakfast in bed you should follow: 50 recipes for breakfast in bed.
Bring back your first date
Revisiting your first date may be a fun and goofy way to keep that spark alive if you want to go straight back to the beginning. If you still reside in the same neighborhood where you met, go to the same pub or restaurant where it all started.
If not, try recreating the dinner or reliving another memorable occasion, such as the first time you uttered “I love you” or when you got engaged. It might help restore that flirty vibe from the beginning of the relationship and remind you why you fell in love in the first place.
Design a getaway trip
Consider taking a romantic getaway for your first Valentine’s Day as an married couple. This romantic holiday gives an excellent opportunity to schedule that small road trip or huge excursion you’ve wanted to book for a long time.
It doesn’t matter where you go as long as it’s somewhere you and your partner both enjoy. It may be wine country, a tropical paradise, a secluded lodge, or a large city escape.
Take a staycation
In contrast, your first Valentine’s Day together does not have to entail a showy or expensive journey to a distant destination. In fact, a staycation close to home might be just as enjoyable. Rent a room at a nearby hotel or on Airbnb, or plan an undisturbed weekend at home. This is also an excellent time to incorporate a local activity that the two of you have always wanted to do.
Plan a couple’s photoshoot
Cute photos combined say “I love you” better than anything else. You should consider planning a couple’s photoshoot and having a buddy shoot some cute photos that you can display about your home (and on social media if you’re like that).
Join in a spa treatment
A wonderfully pleasant aroma in the air would go well with any spa night. Incorporate infused salts and oils into running water for a soothing bath, reducing tension and stress. A body massage for your Valentine can also express deep love, nourish skin, and calm the mind.
These treatments create a spa-like feeling for both you and your partner. You may also surprise your spouse with a relaxing spa night by giving them a lavender bath butler kit, a beautiful gift basket that allows you to enjoy the luxuries of a spa at home.
Have an intimate Valentine’s party
You have a major cause to celebrate, so why not gather all your favorite people to share the joy? Decorate the backdrop in pink and red; consider using these colors for some props, and load up on candy hearts and chocolate. Then, put up a picture booth and organize a great evening of food, cocktails, and games.
Because most couples likely have different Valentine’s Day activities, consider scheduling your event a few days before or after February 14 so everyone can attend.
Host a potluck party
Wanna keep your Valentine’s Day casual this year? Spending time with friends and family is a great option. Invite some other couples who have had their fill of champagne and roses, and focus on relaxing with the ones you care about. You may cook a feast or make it a potluck and BYOB event to guarantee there’s enough food for everyone.
Cook a meal together
Why not take out your favorite cookbook and select a difficult recipe you’ve never tried before? Make it an experience by visiting the local shops to obtain the necessary supplies. Then, make your favorite cocktail or crack open a bottle of wine and get to work! Enroll in a cooking class focusing on a new cuisine or skill if you want a bit of extra coaching.
Write each other love letters
You’ve probably already chosen a romantic Valentine’s Day card, but write a series of “open when” notes for your sweetheart. This writing of each other’s love letters is really sweet and is especially appropriate for individuals whose love language is affirmation. Here are some of the best Valentine’s Day wishes that you can confess to your lover.
Begin a new tradition
You’re certainly thinking about your future life now that you’re on your way to getting married. Why not use this Valentine’s Day to establish a new tradition you may carry on for years? It might be anything from preparing a special dinner that you’ll repeat year after year to making a reservation at a restaurant that you’ll enjoy returning to for years to come.

Watch romantic movies together

Here are several movies for you to take a look at 25 movies that spark the most romantic Valentine’s Day ideas
Take a drive
There’s nothing more romantic than a long car ride with your significant other. Travel down back roads and enjoy the countryside while listening to your favorite music on the radio, or travel to a place such as a lake and enjoy each other’s company amid the beauty of nature.
Enjoy comedy show
Comedy is diverse, and you can find shows that cater to different comedic tastes, from clever and witty humor to slapstick and observational comedy. It allows you to enjoy each other’s company without the formality of a traditional dinner date, making it a relaxed and comfortable Valentine’s Day outing.
Join a paint-and-sip class
If you and your lover like painting, take a virtual paint-and-sip lesson with him or her, which involves – you got it – painting a masterpiece (or whatever) while drinking wine or a cocktail. You’ll also have a souvenir to treasure for the rest of your life on Valentine’s Day.
Go on a picnic
Make a warm blanket for the park, lake (or your living room if it’s too cold). Besides, you should make a basket of your favorite goodies, such as cheese, wine, and cured meats. With these preparations above, no matter if the weather’s cold or hot, you’re sure to have a lot of fun.

Enjoy the night by dancing
If you and your spouse used to spend a lot of time at bars and dance clubs when you first started dating, use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to go out dancing.
Alternatively, you may have a live stream for a dancing lesson and learn some new movements together as a bonding exercise (or as wedding preparation). Of course, you could dim the lights and slow dance to your favorite live music in the living room with a glass of wine.
