With Valentine's Day Coming Up, Get Creative!

With Valentine's Day approaching fast, it's time for you to start thinking about it even if you aren't going to pop the question then (if you are, check out over 100 marriage proposal ideas to get some ideas). Even though we normally only talk about engagements, diamonds, or wedding tips, I thought that I'd mention a few tips for the approaching holiday.

Instead of doing the usual roses and chocolates, try to get creative. If you still want to go the traditional route, great, but try adding something to it. Instead of just going out to eat, why not relive a fun memory the two of you had together? Why not plan a special night out?

The more you go out of your way and try to personalize the event, the more it'll be remembered. Just like with any special memory, you need to make it memorable. If the two of you don't celebrate the holiday much and prefer not to do something elaborate, why not surprise her (or him) with something out of the ordinary.

If she'd never expect a singing telegram from you, why not send one as a joke? If you normally just have plain old roses delivered to her office, why not deliver chocolate roses (often cheaper too) to her office -- one for each employee near her. This would surely get her a lot of attention and earn you a lot of brownie points.

You don't need an elaborate plain to make it a good one. Just give it a little extra thought.
