For a great many people, the most recent economic times have meant a real reevaluation of priorities. And this has prompted a few changes in what people do during, and in the name of this February celebration.
Special Valentines Day presents may include dinner with a loved one might still be part of the celebration, and statistics show that a great many people still dine out at restaurants on this day, even if they do it less the rest of the year.
But another popular Valentines dinner idea in recent times involves the couple cooking each other their favorite meals. This way, there is still the romance of an intimate meal together, but the extra element is added of giving the dinner to each other as a present.
Some people also plan their weddings with Valentines Day presents, yet economic problems can put a crimp in the most elaborate plans. But someone more interested in actually being married than in having a big show for a wedding might take advantage of special deals.
For example, some Justices of the Peace actually offer free group marriage ceremonies on that day. Imagine saving the cost of renting a hall, and instead having money for enjoyable dinner food, drink and dancing with friends later.
New parents might opt to have their baby baptized on February 14th, with a celebratory party afterwards at their home for family and friends who attended.
There are all sorts of ways to celebrate this day, and as people recognize what's really important to them, they are learning to celebrate it for less money, and with more meaning.
