Valentine's Day, also known as Feast of Saint Valentine or Saint Valentine's Day is an annual holiday originating as a Western Christian liturgical feast celebrating Saint Valentinus, on the 14th of February. The legend says that there was once a priest named Valentine. He lived in Rome during the time when Emperor Claudius II decided to abolish marriage for young men, as he thought they would make better soldiers if single. But Valentine decided to still marry them in secret which lead to his death upon discovery by the emperor. By Middle Ages, Valentine was known as the patron saint of lovers and was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

So, here's some tips to help you plan for the perfect celebration day:

Whatever you want to do, plan it early – whether you are thinking about going out for Valentine's Day or just cooking an amazing dinner for your other half, you should start planning this early unless you want to end up in a place you did not really want to go just for the sake of doing something. If you need a baby sitter, search in advance – there won't be many available last minute! Same goes for meals if you are planning on cooking one – think about it in advance – so that your beloved can see that you have actually made an effort and it's not just another meal in front of the TV.
