Valentine’s Day Dinner Ideas at Home

There’s something about fondue that screams the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner idea. It’s romantic, it’s delicious, and it facilities closeness, conversation, and connection.

Make Heart-shaped pizza

Here’s our favorite easy homemade pizza dough recipe that comes out perfect every time and freezes like a dream if you want to make it in advance. Try getting fancy with toppings and making your own gourmet pizza or original creation at home. Just make sure it’s heart-shaped so you can claim it a Valentine’s Day pizza.
Charcuterie Board (Snack Board)

These are always fun and romantic! They provide plenty of time to talk while you snack the night away. Try a heart-shaped charcuterie board or some red and pink elements to make it feel extra special.
Romantic Picnic

We love having picnics in the living room with a blanket and romantic mood lighting. It’s always a fun way to celebrate and shake up a dinner date at home.
Blindfold Baker Date Night

Have one partner make dinner blindfolded. The other can guide their hands through the motions. It’s kind of like the famous Ghost scene without having to buy a pottery wheel. Just be careful with knife handling blindfolded!

Romantic Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

Create a playlist to dance to together.

You can easily grab current songs that give you all the romantic vibes. However, I’d highly recommend adding songs meaningful to you. What did you dance together to at your wedding? Was there a song playing the first time you told each other you love each other? Grab some meaningful songs and share a slow dance together.
