When we tried before having kids, two years in a row we ended up in hospital (completely unrelated things, just happened on valentines day) so not a big fan. We do things at other times.
I love the holiday but find it obnoxious due to pricing and how crowded everything is- we usually celebrate a few days after. š
We've had a super busy week and hubby is tired so I suggested we do something at home. So we'll be making some pizzas together, designing some dipped strawberries, eating some other desserts and watching a show/movie with our little one lol if we go out on a date we prefer weekdays so it's not crowded or overstimulated, also we bring our baby everywhere lol so crowded places suck for all of us.
Everyday is like valentineās for me and my partner we always give little gifts and words of affirmation even with a baby. He always says we donāt need 1 day a year to prove we love eachother š„°we of course wish eachother a happy valentines but donāt make a huge fuss out of it we have made a fuss over our daughter this year
Our version of celebrating is a little gift and remembering how much we love each other.
We do celebrate, but usually just spend the evening together at home and cook a nice meal together ā watch a film, and then head to bed š this year weāre having a nice steak dinner and then we will just chill together, and on Sunday we have plans to go out in the evening. We go on a couple of date nights here and there when we can, and donāt need to make a big deal out of Valentineās Day but itās still nice to make a fuss of each other
Weāve done a card thatās it, we usually have a takeaway on the night for a Saturday but weāve agreed we will go out for a pub meal instead alone at dinner. Rather do it late than on the day. But I wouldnāt say we really celebrate it, weāve just not had the money or time for us so weāre making a point of it tomorrow
We donāt celebrate because itās not part of our religion. But he makes me feel special from time to time and I do the same for him.
He always pretends like he didnāt know it was Valentineās Day and then we get Valentineās Day deliveries to our house all day. Flowers, balloons, etc.
The last time we celebrated it was 6 years ago & it was because we won a 3 course meal at a pub down the road from us.
Always is an extra night to add to our dates night. We like to celebrated all kinds of occasions in general šš
We donāt for us itās mostly for the kids lol we do pink or heart shaped foods to make it a little special. We donāt do gifts or anything but sometimes we hehe half price candy the day after š
Itās just our February date night šš»āāļø we have a date night every month of the year for 19yrs, the Feb one just happens to fall on Vday to make it āextra specialā. Just like our May date falls on our anniversary/Mothers Day (both separate), Sep date for his bday, Oct for my bday, etcā¦ Iāll be out on Vday for sure, I donāt care about and donāt want the gifts.
We don't celebrate not because I don't want to but his lack of effort

I prefer regular dates nights. Valentines is always crowded and service is not as good usually.
