Maybe you have been with your partner for a number of years now or perhaps you are just coming up to your one-year anniversary and want to do something special.
Regardless of your reasons for wanting to plan an uninterrupted evening spending quality time together with your partner, here are the six most perfect elements to a romantic evening.
Send Them an Official Invitation
Once you are absolutely sure that, on the night in question, neither you nor your partner have any prior professional or personal commitments and you are both free for the entire night, the first romantic move to make is to send them an official invitation for dinner.
Obviously, no formal dinner wear is required, but it would be fun to decorate the space, especially the dinner table, with some fresh flowers and set the scene with a relaxing musical playlist.
Delicious Food
No romantic evening, or any evening for that matter, would be complete without an array of different foods, all more delicious than the next.
Now, in theory, it would be lovely to be able to cook, from scratch, for your partner, but in reality, unless you have phenomenal in the kitchen, far better to order your food to be delivered at a time to suit you both. Indian cuisine is a sensational accompaniment to a romantic evening and ordering from the established and authentic urban-tandoor.com will set the perfect intimate atmosphere.
Invest in Candles
These days, virtually any shop, both online and on the high street, sells an array of different shaped and scented candles in all sorts of colors. However, as with other items of home décor, the more you pay, the better the quality and presuming this will not be the only romantic evening you spend together, investing in a luxury candle will benefit you time and time again.
Naturally, scents and smells are entirely personal and when looking for the right scented candle for your romantic evening, if you are not sure where to begin, the following oft-quoted ‘romantic scents’ of candles will help:
- Sandalwood
- Rose
- Jasmine
- Vanilla
- Lavender
- Musk
Not only will the addition of scented candles make for a beautiful sensory experience in terms of the atmosphere for the evening, but they also create a calming, relaxing and intimate aura when it comes to lighting. The flicker of a candle over dinner or snuggling up on the sofa watching a classic Hollywood movie, makes for a romantic experience.
Fresh Flowers
As touched upon previously within this article, fresh flowers can make an ordinary dinner turn into a special evening spent dining together and what is more, one way to start off the evening superbly is to create your own bouquet of flowers and give them to your partner as soon as they enter through the door.
Flowers such as carnations, orchids, chrysanthemums and hydrangeas are four of the most long-lasting fresh flowers you can buy from a florist, so choosing a bouquet including one or more will ensure your partner can enjoy the bouquet for the next week or so.
Prepare Some Couple Games
Planning a formal schedule to the evening obviously goes against the romantic atmosphere, but one thing you could look into as a way of spending quality time together, either before or after dinner, would be some properly chosen couple games.
Especially if you have not been dating that long, some ‘get to know each other’ games would be brilliant and would fill the evening with laughs. If you and your husband or wife have been married for many years, perhaps one or two games which are focused around competing against each other in a quiz or board game would be well-suited.
Head Outside
The final key component to the ideal romantic evening at home spent with your partner is that of celebrating your relationship by wrapping up warm and heading outside after dinner.
Have a bottle of champagne or prosecco chilling in the fridge from the early afternoon, visit your local market or greengrocer and buy a fresh punnet of juicy red strawberries and, after dinner and games, head outside to watch the sunset with a glass of bubbly.
