Besides the usual….Red roses, lush bouquets of flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, candies, candles, gourmet gifts, champagne, jewelry, lingerie (for you), silky boxers (for him)…Here are some romantic gestures for you to give to your guy-for-life:
*Send him a wild flowered bouquet with a personalized note attached.
*Make him breakfast in bed along with some red roses.
*Prepare his favorite dessert and surprise him.
*Make a calendar with pictures of the two of you together.
*Stick some love-notes all over the house at different places for him.
*Purchase front row tickets to watch his favorite sport live.
*Lay down on his chest and hug him like you would never give him away for anything in the entire world.
( Idea found on pin interest )
Take 12 large envelopes … on each one, write the month, so start with February, next March, and so on until you reach next January (2014).
In each envelope you will put a date night in it…whether it’s a nice candle-lit dinner at home, or movies…or something you know he’s always wanted to do or go to…if you decide movies, go get a gift card and stick it into the envelope. Each date you decide on, write a letter as to why you decided to go with that date for that specific month. For instance, gift cards for 2 ski passes to go in March would be ideal. Cover the expenses as much as you can, so at least 1 thing in each envelope is already paid for. You can even stick a menu from a restaurant (if you got restaurant gift cards) or if you have concert tickets, stick a mixed tape of the group’s greatest hits…brochures for an art exhibit or vacation…etc…(you get the picture)…just to give it some extra excitement.
On the 1st of the each month, open up the envelope together. Let him read it and then look at a calendar together and decide which day that month you will plan that date night…or day. This way, it ensures that each month you will be spending time together and doing something special.
Go further into the arms of love by melting into his…
…In honor of your first wedded Valentine’s Day, keep that heart pitter patter-ing! Bring back that old-school, first-falling in love feeling with a classic 90’s movie such as Empire Records. Skip the movie and just go imitate Liv Tyler’s character in the last scene: let your soul mate drag your weak knees and feet in a sweeping motion on a rooftop…dancing and kissing playfully…blasting a soundtrack by Gin Blossoms, whose sound is reminiscent of discovering you have a crush on your high school sweetheart, and whose music echoes the butterflies pouncing around in your stomach.
When somebody makes your heart pitter patter, they are the one for you.
Love is friendship set onfire.
Happily Ever After Never Will End
When you share your life with your Best Friend.
ONCE you believe your life is a fairytale…that is when “ONCE upon a time…” begins.

A Little “Love” Lesson from your Valentine Teacher :
February 14…The modern day celebration of Love began in Europe when the first Valentine was sent in 1415 on February 14 when a French Duke was in jail and sent a Valentine to his wife. (Let’s hope your first year of marriage doesn’t put your husband in jail, or else you’ll be receiving love-grams by mail too!)
So what about Cupid? How did he get involved? In Greek mythology, he is the Roman god of beauty and love…and is the son of Venus (and for those of you who are up on their astrology, Venus is the love planet of our zodiac).
So there’s your very brief background of Valentine’s Day.
Are you ready to point your bow and arrow and shoot your husband yet? (Just kidding). But in a more figurative and subtle sense, you can “shoot” your loving energy towards him so that he feels like he has been struck by your arrow to inspire your magical feelings of love.
Aimed Arrow…for the Newlywed V-Day
Be on tour with the love in the air and make a high-speed love connection through celebrating this day on however the two of you wish.
You may not even expect to do much together or even receive any gifts, because you may have just had the wedding recently, or you’re moving in and getting settled. But don’t let that stop you…it’s your first V-day being married…and I can’t imagine the two of you being anything but in a warm and romantic mood this day!
Ring in the day with…a Ring
Surprise your sweetheart and propose to him this time with a ring. Yea, I said it…a RING.
“Pop the Proposal“
Your turn to make a very own proposal of your own. Get creative and give your husband some candied ring pops or even a glowing light up ring. This light-hearted way will spark up the playful kid in both of you as you offer a promise for life-long love…and not just for this special occasion, but for everyday for the rest of your lives. He can keep it as a keepsake forever…a timeless token from your heart.

ONE WEEK BEFORE: First, you’ll want to have your RSVP list and call anyone who has not responded to confirm if they will be attending or not so that you can finalize the design for table arrangements and give a final count of your total guests to the caterer.
*DJ DUTIES!: Show your DJ (or band) the directions to your dance floor dreams…the end product of your music set-list that you want played at the reception. Be specific as to what music you wish to include and what songs you most certainly will not stand to hear!
*Put together a wedding day schedule for the bridal party and all of your VIP’s. This will ensure that all A-list attendants will be on the same page.
*Confirm rehearsal plans
*Organize a spot specific to all of your wedding day attire…a spot that is clean and free of any mishaps happening around it! (Water spills, animal accidents, etc.) Make sure you have everything you need for the day of: products, makeup for touch ups, stain remover (something like the TIDE stick), sewing kit (threads, needles, buttons…for any wardrobe malfunctions…you never know), Kleenex tissues, q-tips, Tylenol/vitamins/medications, and a clutch or bag to hold all of this stuff together. You’ll want to include anything else that will help solve a crisis if one does happen to occur.
*Do laundry, set clothes aside, and pack the majority of what you will need for your honeymoon. Keep passports and all other documents secured nearby.
*Make appointment for manicures, pedicures, massage, waxing, etc. with your bridal party.
