Valentine’s Day Traditions

Normally for Jared and I a romantic Valentine’s Day means things awkwardly cut into the shape of hearts, dinner actually at the table, and maybe a special chocolate dessert (which, lets be honest, is more for me).

But, last year I was in a lovey-dovey mood. I typed up sweet little notes and rolled them into these capsules for Jared to find wrapped up inside a surprise ball. More details about it here. It was kind of wonderful to sit down and think about all the sweet things to say and I’d love to do something like it again.

Here are some sweet love note inspiration for your Valentine:

Three years by Angela

 Matchbook valentines from Brides.com

Teeny Tiny Love Notes

 Amazing Book of Notes by fellow Alt Summit panelist Danni

All these love notes are making me inspired to do something sweet again.  Do you play up the Valentine’s Day romance? Seems that Valentine’s Day gets clogged up with crafts and treats for kids and something for our own Valentine becomes an afterthought. What traditions do you have with your Valentine?  I’d love to hear your ideas!
