How to Plan a Romantic Birthday Outing

Plan a romantic birthday outing to make your lover’s special day even more special. A romantic birthday outing takes you and your lover to an intimate destination--and getting there is half the fun. However, setting this special birthday treat in motion requires planning on your part.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Plan the elements for the outing and particularize it for your partner. The destination should be someplace significant to both of you: that restaurant where you had your first date, the park where you proposed, the night club where you first laid eyes on each other. Or combine all of them into the evening.
2. Think about the extras: a horse-drawn buggy ride through a park, a row boat across the lake, a horseback ride through the forest. A physical activity you can both share will make the day exhilarating.
3. Add romantic touches. Have a small token of remembrance that you can present at each stop. It might be a pendant, a book or simply flowers.
4. Music can provide a romantic backdrop. Choose a place for dining or drinks that features mellow musicians.
5. Choose the finishing touches. Whether it’s a picnic lunch, a special bottle of wine or a Mayan fire dancer, the finishing touches can make the day memorable. An evening in a romantic hideaway is always an option.
6. Create a checklist of everything you need to do to make this romantic birthday outing a success.
