How to Celebrate Valentine's Day When You're Engaged and Wedding Planning
As an engaged couple deep in wedding planning, you might be so wrapped up in details that Valentine's Day sneaks up on you. It’s easy to let wedding to-dos take center stage, but don’t forget the reason you're planning the wedding in the first place: to celebrate your love!
Whether you're knee-deep in venue scouting or finalizing contracts, Valentine's Day offers a perfect opportunity to pause, enjoy each other’s company, and reconnect. Here are some stress-free ideas to celebrate this special day while staying on track with your wedding planning.
1. Take a Break from Wedding Planning
Wedding planning can feel like a full-time job. So why not use Valentine's Day as an excuse to hit pause? Take a night off from the spreadsheets, to-do lists, and vendor calls to focus on what really matters: your relationship. Plan a low-key date night, try a new restaurant, or simply curl up together to watch a movie. A break from wedding details will help you both recharge and reconnect.
2. Focus on the Fun Parts of Wedding Planning Together
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming, but Valentine’s Day is a great time to revisit the fun parts of planning together. Whether it’s selecting your wedding song, deciding on the flowers for your big day, or brainstorming ideas for your honeymoon, Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to dream and plan together in a relaxed, pressure-free environment.
3. Pamper Yourselves with a Couples’ Spa Day
Wedding planning can be stressful, and it’s important to unwind from time to time. This Valentine’s Day, treat yourselves to a couples’ spa day or a relaxing massage. A calm mind helps you stay focused and energized for all the decisions ahead. Plus, spending time together in a soothing environment will only deepen your connection as a couple.
4. Talk About Your Wedding Dreams (But Keep it Light!)
You’re engaged, and that means your wedding is on the horizon! Valentine’s Day is a great chance to share your wedding day dreams and hopes for the future. Whether you’re excited about your venue, your wedding dress, or just the idea of saying "I do," take this day to discuss your shared vision. Don’t worry about finalizing every detail—your wedding coordinator is there to help with the hard stuff.
5. Start a Valentine's Day Tradition
As an engaged couple, creating a new tradition is a sweet way to celebrate your relationship each year. You might want to do something simple, like revisiting your engagement spot or cooking a meal together every February 14th. Having something to look forward to each year will help you both feel connected and grounded as you build your life together.
6. Give Each Other Meaningful Gifts
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to exchange meaningful gifts, but you don’t have to go overboard. It could be a piece of jewelry, a heartfelt note, or even something wedding-related, like a special item for your ceremony or reception. A meaningful gift on Valentine’s Day will help you feel even more connected as you move through the wedding planning process.
