Then, in the afternoon, how about THESE Surprise Valentine’s Day Ideas?

6. A surprise delivery for your spouse at work! It could be flowers, fruits, their favorite lunch — I mean the options are endless with DoorDash, UberEats & more!

7. Invite your mom, sister, grandma, girlfriend (or all of them) out for a “Galentine’s Lunch” or coffee date!

8. Leave post-it “love notes” with sweet messages for your family to find! These could be around the house, in the car, on sports bags, bathroom mirror, etc!

And more Surprise Valentine’s Day Ideas you can try at night …

9. Give everyone a chore-free Valentine’s pass! (Hooray!)

10. Enjoy a Valentine’s-themed dinner! Italian food is usually a winner, but honestly, whatever your family loves, go with that! Or you can try this “Healthy Valentine’s Meal Plan” for more ideas!

11. Have a Valentine’s Dessert Buffet! If you have leftover candy from school parties, the office, etc … enjoy it! One idea is to combine all the leftover candy that the family brought home. Decide if you want to use M&Ms to bake into brownies, or make a “Valentine’s popcorn mix” with assorted candy and popcorn tossed together!

12. Make a Valentine’s card or write a letter to grandma or a distant relative. Have the kids pick photos to include and have them printed at Walgreens (I use the app — so easy!)

13. Pray for each other before bedtime! This is a great time to thank God for the LOVE we share as a family. <3 (This wall sign is on Amazon! Here’s my affiliate link below. Love it!)

14. Now, I’ll leave #14 on this list open for you to “fill in the blank” and enjoy a romantic Valentine’s evening together after the kids go to bed!
