#Re-create Your First Date

Your first date is something you probably hold dear to your heart. So, this Valentine’s Day why not recreate where it all began. Just head to wherever you went on your first date or try to recreate the vibe if it’s not possible to go to the places physically anymore. You’ll have a great time reminiscing how far you’ve come and enjoy the walk down memory lane.

#Go To a Concert

Music is important for many people and seeing a band or musician perform live is a whole other experience. And it’s extra special if you are sharing it with someone special. So, if an artist or band is playing these Valentines that both of you enjoy why not share a fun night at their concert. Laugh, drink, dance, and sing your hearts out.

#Mini Golf

There is something very charming about mini golf. It’s fun, it’s cute, it’s affordable. What’s not to like. And if you and your partner like to compete, make it into a fun game by making the loser do something, like pay for dinner, or get your favorite ice cream. Plus, if your partner hasn’t played mini golf, it also gives you the excuse to show them how to swing the club properly.
