But you still love it -- admit it. This year, go beyond the card and flowers and plan a date night out with your sweetheart. Here are six tips to help make it a fun and affordable evening. 1) Secure a Sitter Early Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular date nights in the country, which means it’s also one of the most popular days for families to hire a babysitter. If your regular sitter has date night plans of her own, make sure you know that early. Nothing kills the romance like scrambling to find last-minute child care. Instead of begging your parents to watch the kids (again), hire a sitter early. That will leave you time to focus on the more important parts of your V-Day celebration. 2) Show Your Little Ones Some Love Yes, you’re going out at night, but Valentine’s Day lasts all day. Plan a special family breakfast or spend some extra time with the kids during the day. Then, when you head out the door, leave them with a fun new movie to watch or game to play with -- and don’t forget the chocolate kiss! 3) Start With a Surprise Most romantic plans happen in the evening, after the day’s stresses have passed. Instead of waiting all day to turn on the romance, plan a little surprise for your love first thing in the morning. Plant a little gift in your partner’s sock drawer or tape a cute picture of you both on the bathroom mirror. The sweet gesture will start the day no the right foot.

Ask the sitter to come an hour or two early so you could spend time getting ready without your kids hanging from you. Take a real bubble bath, get a manicure, use makeup beyond ChapStick, treat yourself to a new outfit or rent a designer one. 5) Plan Something Fun Dinner and movie always enjoyable, but try to think of something special for this special night. For example, you could recreate your first date. Whether it was drinks at your local bar or a crazy rock and roll concert, reliving that first encounter will bring back the sparks. If you’ve since relocated from your original stomping grounds, try making up a new Valentine’s Day tradition that you’ll both enjoy. 6) Celebrate the Day After You and your valentine probably don’t want to be surrounded by other noisy couples on your evening of romance. Unfortunately, finding a private table at a decent restaurant will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Consider postponing your celebrations to the next night. You’ll get two days of romance and get to enjoy some privacy at the venue of your choice. The Valentine’s Day Don’ts 1. Don’t forget. I think that the worst thing you could do about Valentine’s Day is forgetting all about it. Put it on your calendar in big red letters. 2. Don’t buy kitchen appliances. Or anything else practical. Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a little extravagant. 3. Don’t do the same thing you did last year. Even if it worked well, your partner will appreciate something new and different. 4. Don’t overspend. Particularly if you share a bank account and a credit card with your sweetheart, breaking the bank is a bad idea 5. Don’t do guy stuff. Your favorite Football team may be on TV, or you may be tempted to take her to a sports bar for dinner. Just don’t. This is her night. 6. Don’t spend the night online. For this one night, leave the phone off and focus on your woman. She will be grateful for your undivided attention.
