Just like every other major holiday this past year, Valentine’s day will likely be celebrated a little differently this year. The key to having fun while staying safe this Valentine’s Day is to get creative and put in work. Going out for drinks and movies probably isn’t the safest way to go; the universe is requiring us to roll up our sleeves and plan out dates — like the good ole’ fashion days. Although it might be more work, it will definitely make memories. If you are wanting to add some romance to this special day, here are 5 ways to celebrate Valentine’s day creatively and safely in 2021.
Picnic at the park, but make it luxury
The trick with picnics is all about the aesthetic. Commit to having the essentials like a picnic blanket and food, but also add flowers, cake, champagne, strawberries, and other goodies. Wear a dress and a button up as if it’s your first date. With the pandemic, it has gotten easier to reach for leggings and a shirt, but making the effort to dress up for each other will make Valentine’s day romantic.
