Celebrating Valentine’s Day can be even more romantic and lead to erotica at home without being costly or complicated.  You can avoid all the hustle of driving around, eating in a crowded restaurant and paying for an overpriced menu.  You just need some thoughtful planning, creativity and attention to details that will make it memorable for you and your lover.

The Invitation

Begin by sending your Valentine an invitation that you create with specific instructions for the most romantic and erotic evening of his or her life. For example:

You are invited to be my Valentine at: (add location and time).
For a romantic: (add dining arrangements).
Where we are going to share an erotic: (add after dinner activities).
Love and Lust,

Mood Setting

In advance, construct a romantic atmosphere by tidying up and adding some sensual accessories such as candles, incense, fresh flowers, pillows, rose-petals, sensuous feathers or other fabrics. And don’t forget to adjust the lighting to make sure that it’s soft and seductive. If you have a fireplace, make it the most romantic area to spend your evening. Then, put on a meaningful playlist that includes songs you both love listening to so that you can extend the romance all night long.

Dressing & Undressing

Ladies, wear something soft and silky like a camisole, negligee or some lingerie with sexy high heels. Check out Victoria Secrets, Fredericks or Intimates at any department store for an outfit that makes you look and feel amazing. Guys can get risqué and wear some sexy briefs, boxers, trunks, or thongs under some stylish clothes. Check out GQ, Flair and Style for men for fashion tips and styles.

Love Foods

Fill up a picnic basket with your favorite foods that contain appetizers such as salad, shrimp, paté or cheese with crackers. The main course can be cold salmon, sushi, ready-to-eat meats or a selection of roasted vegetables. Delicious desserts are key to a romantic picnic; so don’t forget the chocolates and fresh fruit and be sure to feed it to each other. Keep the wine or beverage of choice close by to make this a very special evening to remember. Enjoy your romantic picnic on a blanket in front of a fireplace, in the middle of the living room or on top of your bed.

The Card

Give your Valentine a card with a personal handwritten message or love poem and include a photo of the two of you.
