🌹 Ideas for Valentine’s Day in Philadelphia
If you are just thinking expensive dinner and a movie this year, then you will be doing what most couples do and it will be over-priced, over-crowded and rushed…. not exactly a romantic recipe.
Go on a photoshoot – So many scenic spots to choose from such as the Art Museum, Love Park or Society Hill. Try on different moods that range from silly, brooding, sexy to serious. Take the best shot and frame it for your sweetie.
If you are going to celebrate with the kids then decorate the house in red and pink, break out the arts and crafts and make Valentines cards for each other while listening to sappy romantic songs.
If you want a kid-free night, then drop the kids off at grandma’s house, turn off the phones then decorate the house in red and pink along with candles, soft music, and herbal tea or red wine. Start off with a long bubble bath together then get some almond massage oil. We usually do something like this every year and we make a special dinner at home with lobsters we bought at the market.
Have a electronic free night. No phones, computers and no tv. Just doing this will be treat enough for your loved ones. Conversations won’t be constantly interrupted by dings, pings and rings. Just giving someone the complete gift of your presence and attention is quite special.
Can’t get away anywhere, even local for a special night out? Decorate the house with lawn chairs, beach towels, have reggae music on and serve pina coladas and make plans (again, device-free) on your next special trip. Get magazine and books of the places you want to go and talk about what you will do and where you will go together.
Still have the need to get out and about? Make a scavenger hunt. It can be some of the special places you had dates together – your first date, your first kiss, your first %#$#$. It can be g-rated with the kids or x-rated without them.
Need to have a racy Valentine’s day? For women, go out somewhere elegant such as a Tea House, nice restaura or fancy bar and wear a short skirt or dress. Shortly after sitting down at the table, let your man know you are not wearing panties.
We are quite partial to what we think makes for an ideal night for this Valentine’s Day in Philadelphia for 2020. We teach gentle and romantic couples yoga classes. The classes are buoyant and bonding, weird and wonderful, restorative and relaxing, We get to meet so many new fun couples this way, some of who we end up becoming great friends with beyond the class and we get to be a part of some very magical moments with people.
