    Going to Disneyland with the entire family and some friends. I really don't like to go out and that day since it seems forced to be romantic. I'd rather just have a great day with my family and the ball and chain.

    it's our first Valentine's as husband and wife, but we made a deal of no gifts, no special plans. just cards. And he'll most likely forget the card lol. Not a big deal for me. The Anniversary is the day that counts for me. For that, we're planning on going on a sightseeing drive and having a picnic while watching the sunset :)

    Staying and cooking dinner for my husband.

    It's the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) birthday so Dubai has been announced as dry valentine's night and valentines without a cheeky bottle of champagne followed by an even cheekier bottle of red wine just doesn't cut it for me :)

    It's going to be my 8th wedding anniversary. But as we are trying to save money (no success yet), we are not doing anything. It's been 8 years.....no significant number. We are going to wait till 10th anniversary to have a celebration. First year we are not doing anything. Not even a meal at home with bottle of bubbly. And I have to say, for the first year I'm not stressing about going out or what to get my husband or if wi will have money for it. It's so nice to know that it's just normal day. Peaceful for me I would say. :laugh:

    Its my husband's birthday, so he gets all the attention:grumble: , although, he did bring me home a valentines cuddly pink elephant the other night as I had a bad fall recently and was a bit down in the dumps. We do have a dinner booked, but depends on whether or not, my facial injury from the fall is healed up or not. :sad: If not guess we will stay at home and have a few:drinker:

    After many discussions of what we should do with the boyfriend...the laziness in us set in and we decided to stay home...and apparently I'm making dinner...I'll give him a bowl of wilted spinach and see what he says about that!

    We're going to go look at apartments for next semester, then going to Ikea to look for furniture for our apartment and because we both love that store. Then we'll either eat at Ikea or find a nice park and have a picnic. That will be on the Saturday before Valentine's day actually, I'll by spending actual Valentine's Day evening taking a test... Neither of us have a lot of money right now, so we're just going to spend the day together and have fun.

    We normally go out for a meal or cook something at home but we don't bother with presents, just cards :)

    I will miss my hubby on Valentine's Day...he's still deployed. Our first year together...we've been apart on all the holidays, including our one year anniversary. Okay, sob story over. I am tough. I am lioness. I am hungry for ice cream. *meltdown*

    I'm working the evening so my boyfriend and I might go and get coffee/breakfast in the morning. We agreed no gifts. From reading the other posts, cards sounds like something sweet we could do but I'll talk to him about it. Our 4 year anniversary is on the 25th and we've made dinner plans. We usually just celebrate Valentine's Day and our anniversary together. We've decided no gifts this year since he's not working. Besides, next year is first big "milestone".

    I love some of the plans I've been reading ...& I agree quality over quantity..I still don't know what plans if any yet with me...because my husb' & I have different schedules...& on that Monday is no exception...we have celebrated many Valentine's together & some have been great & some kinda' plain...but in the end it's true what they say is the thought that counts..I might cook for him on that day ...& as far as gifts sometimes he surprises me sometimes he asks...we haven't discussed any gifts though he did ask me what I'd like

    I'm single and will have to lock the doors and tape up the letterbox 'cos I can't cope with the extra attention!!!

    Yeah.....right........ :-)

    Nah, just another day for me, don't get involved. I don't like the commercialism of it all.

    Hhubby always gets me flowers and we exchange cards, although he says he does not like the commercial side, so really only does it because of me :heart:

    I agreed with my boyfriend that we would only do cards and a small gift this year, last year was our first valentines, and we spent a fortune.

    I ordered him a personalised card on Moonpig (just to be special) and bought him a bear, then we might get a take-away or something that night...

    My husband will start a new job in Valentine's Day. So I will make a lovely dinner and we will stay in. I don't know what to cook yet... But I am looking forward to it. I love commemorative days!

    Stay home and make a nice dinner for my husband and son! We don't go out for V-Day. There's too much hype. I'd rather go out for a random occassion!

    Oh I so play on pigging out on Valentine's Day (dinner). I will exercise and eat healthy that morning and then when we go out to dinner I plan on getting maybe steak or pasta or maybe both and then a nice chocolatey/PB dessert. And I will not feel guilty. Then back on the wagon the next day. I already got my vday present too... a ring and matching necklace :) I bought him a "man cave sign", an all star game Lidstrom jersey and gift card for his new e-reader. This is our 2nd valentine's day together :)

    Not sure. May go out to dinner. Just waiting to see what my daughter's work schedule is. Could be dinner for 2, 3 or 4.

    Might make dinner at home. Jan's choice.

    Taking my daughter out for breakfast. :bigsmile: The next week my single girl friends and I are going bowling or to Dave & Busters. This is my first year as a single in 10 years...not that my ex ever did anything special for Valentines Day anyways. :grumble:

    The boyfriend and I usually make heart-shaped pancakes together. We're both college students so no presents! This year, I found a heart-shaped waffle maker, so we're going to do waffles instead. Our seven year anniversary is the 27th, so we'll probably do something then too.
