How to Make Valentine's Day More Meaningful

Remember the little things they say. 

That may sound simple, but it is easy to forget little sentiments that your significant other might mention offhand. Don't start scrambling for Valentine's Day ideas on February 13- take note of their casual comments leading up to the day. This is crucial to all of the specific details you will need to plan later regarding the meal and the gift.

Give yourself plenty of time. 

This is important. If you scramble to put together your special Valentine's Day, it will be pretty obvious. Give yourself plenty of time to make sure everything is perfect.

• If you plan on taking your valentine out to eat, make sure to make reservations far in advance. Restaurants book up quickly, and the extra time will ensure you can eat where you want. The same goes for any activities or excursions you want to take your valentine on.
• If you are ordering a gift online, give yourself extra time for shipping. It wouldn't be ideal for providing your valentine with an "I. O. U."
• If you're taking the creative route for your special day, give yourself plenty of time to pull it all together.

Confirm with your Valentine. 

Even if you want to surprise them, make sure they are available and able to do anything you've planned. Feel free to keep the specifics to yourself, but at least let your partner the general plan. Nothing can put a damper on Valentine's Day, quite like showing up to a fancy restaurant in jeans or having to bail on a memorable trip because of work obligations. Just make sure they've pencilled you in!

Determine your partner's "Valentine's Day style.

" Some people would proudly walk down the street with a dozen roses and a helium Cupid balloon, while others would cringe at the very thought. Either is OK! Just make sure that you don't make your valentine uncomfortable with your gestures. Find out if they're into grand gestures or low-key love notes.

• Some people proudly claim they're "anti-Valentine's Day." If this is your partner, don't take that to mean they are anti-love! No one says no to a little extra affection and encouragement on Valentine's Day- even if they insist they don't want to celebrate.
• Make sure you consider their day-to-day routine when you start planning your meaningful Valentine's Day. No one wants to be late to work because of a surprise breakfast-in-bed or be forced to carry a life-size teddy bear on a New York subway.

Tell your valentine precisely what they mean to you.

This should be done all year, but especially on this holiday. Don't let them forget how special they are and how much they mean to you. You have the chance to tell your partner just how much you admire and appreciate them, so don't take it for granted. Too often, people wait until it is too late.

Your words are important, but your nonverbal cues can mean just as much. Maintain eye contact to show your valentine that they have your undivided attention.

• Make sure that your body language is communicating the same message as your mouth. Try to lean in towards your partner, keeping your arms uncrossed, to show them there is no place you'd rather be.
