How to Plan a Romantic Dinner Date at Home

With the current pandemic in place, going out for dinner dates seems near to impossible. Candlelight dinners a great way to spice up the love between a couple. However, these blissful moments are not only restricted to restaurants but can also be celebrated in the quaint solitude of your home as well. Here are some great ideas to set a memorable candlelight dinner for your partner and yourself.

 


1. The Trail Of Love

The thing about fancy restaurants is that romance is filled in the air. Encapsulating that romantic atmosphere into your home requires nothing more than fresh flower petals and several candles. Surprising your loved one with a trail to the dinner table, will show much they mean to you. The trail doesn’t merely have to be a rose-petal walkway; you could make a whole experience out of it. Adding love notes, candles, and even a couple of pictures could help bring back memories and build up the excitement for the dinner table date. This will make your partner feel more special as this would be an entrance that not even a high-end restaurant could deliver.  

 

2. Restaurant Style Table

Setting the table is an essential thing to do while preparing for a dinner date. Be sure to use a clean tablecloth and napkins. Folding napkins into swans or hearts can take any ordinary dinner into a charming display. Sprinkle the table with some rose petals and keep a bunch of fresh flowers for the centerpiece. Use fancy dinnerware and place your cutlery beside the plates. You can go the extra mile and get your menu printed and placed near the dinnerware to keep the restaurant-like feeling alive at home. 

 


3. Pleasant, Romantic Music

Switch off all distractions such as the TV and mobile phones in particular so that you and your partner spend the evening focusing on each other. No dinner date is complete without pleasant romantic music, choose slow, romantic songs that can be played softly in the background to add some rhythm to the air while you both converse. You can use a home music system or even rent a DJ for the night. 

 

4. An Exquisite Meal 

Once the mood is set, it’s time to bring out the food. You can do a three-course meal, start with appetizers such as jacket potatoes, crab balls, etc. Then move to the main course to your liking, and a desert to tie it all up together. You can reduce your workload by ordering food from a restaurant, but be sure to order it ahead of time to avoid unwanted delays. Great food should be accompanied with some exceptional drinks you can choose some classic red wine or jazz it up with flavorful fruit punch.
