February is the month of love and what better way to celebrate with that special someone than enjoying a romantic outdoor dinner in the comfort of your own home. Take advantage of the perfect romantic setting, a night under the stars on your patio, with these few easy tips to really “wow” your significant other.
Lighting
Nothing is more romantic than snuggling up under the stars, surrounded by soft lighting. Whether you have a great set up already, with lights on your patio, or you want to take it a step further and add candles, both will really set the mood for a great night. If it happens to be a little chilly that evening, why not start the fire in your firepit.
Don’t have a firepit? Don’t worry Patioworld has a great selection for you to choose from, one addition to your patio space that we promise you’ll love and use over and over again.
Music
Before the big night, make a playlist and get your outdoor speakers setup. Choose some of your favorite love songs or songs that have special meaning to the two of you. If you’re not a pro at playlists, take a look at some of the premade playlists that Spotify has for Valentine’s Day.
Food and drink
You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to prepare something special for a romantic outdoor dinner. If cooking isn’t your forte, consider ordering carryout from your favorite restaurant. Make sure to call and order in advance, as it’s one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants. A chilled bottle of champagne and some chocolate-covered strawberries are the perfect way to start the evening, followed by your favorite dinner, home-cooked or delivered.
And don’t forget this month of love isn’t just for significant others, “Galentine’s Day” is on the 13th of February! A day for women to celebrate their special gal pals and what better way than a girls’ night on the patio. Turn up the music, pop a bottle of champagne, and show your girls some love with a fun night of laughing, dancing, and celebrating the love you have for your women friends.
Forget fighting the restaurant crowds on February 14th, these three easy tips will really make your Valentine’s Day a special one at home, with a romantic outdoor dinner in your very own backyard.
