1.) Everyone sends Christmas cards and often they lose their pizzazz in the flood of holiday well wishes. Why don't you and your mate send Valentine's Day cards to friends and family! Lose your inhibitions and have a quirky photo shoot a la Julie Child and her husband Paul; the two of you in a bathtub full of suds being silly, holding cute speech bubble signs, acting as cupid and target, etc! Then print them off like you would holiday cards and mail them out! Your friends and family will be delighted by the unexpected, cute greeting!
2) Plan a feast! Invite all your coupled friends over for a Valentine's Day dinner! Prepare a "heart warming" menu and hand out over-sized paper hearts for everyone to pin on. Run with the theme. Heart themed everything! (If you really want to get into it, you could encourage everyone to come dressed as the King and Queen of Hearts.) If you are single and bitter, you could host the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre Dinner! Hand out "broken" paper hearts to all guests, have a bitch-off, and order greasy takeout! (You could encourage your guests to dress as gangsters.)
3) Why buy your love stale, mass produced, chocolate confections? Instead, take a candy/chocolate/truffle making class together! This could be your gift to your sweetie (pun intended)! These classes can be found at candy stores or continuing education centers. Google it! As an invitation, you can give him/her an empty, heart-shaped box with a note saying something like: "Let's fill this together with handmade chocolate and the memories of making it with you."
