Planning the perfect romantic weekend may take some time and organizational skill, but the reward can be a lifetime of memories. From a cozy cabin in the mountains to a walk on a white sand beach, there are many ways to spend a romantic weekend.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Consider what your partner would like to do. What is romantic to you may not be romantic to someone else.

  2. Step 2

    Determine if your partner has any special traveling needs. Is there a fear of heights that would prevent flight plans?

  3. Step 3

    Determine the need for childcare. Making childcare plans well in advance is a good way to make sure your romantic weekend is worry-free.

  4. Step 4

    Choose a destination by looking into the hotels, bed and breakfasts and cabins in your selected area.

  5. Step 5

    Ask about the features of your place of stay. Do they have a king-sized bed, fireplace, hot-tub and other romantic features? Many hotels cater to romantic weekends and offer special services like couples spa packages or a complementary bottle of champagne.

  6. Step 6

    Research romantic restaurants and night clubs in the area. Make necessary reservations in advance.

  7. Step 7

    Inform friends and your work that you will be gone for the weekend and instruct them to not call your cell phone unless there is an emergency.

  8. Step 8

    Bring romantic items from home to add to your setting such as candles, flowers and bath gels or even a bottle of wine.

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy new garments or perfumes to always remind your partner of your romantic weekend.
  • A spontaneous getaway is sometimes just as romantic as a planned one. Sometimes a trip to a nearby town can serve up just as much romance as a weekend in the mountains.
  • Keep an open mind when planning ideas for a romantic weekend. If you’ve always wondered how fun it would be to try snorkeling, give it a shot. Try also autumn walks in a New England town, a trip to a hot springs in the winter or a lodge at a ski resort.
  • Always practice safety when traveling to an unfamiliar place.
