Okay so we are going to try to make this the best date you have been on! And of course you can add your own twist to the recipe along the way!

Most of this is going to require preparation of course! Picking up your ingredients and possibly prepping the food as well! Depending on what Recipe you decide to go with. I will not be providing recipes just atmosphere but I will be providing some links to Great recipes on the bottom!

Okay so lets get started!

1. Send him/her a text saying you have a Surprise for them when they get home

This next part you can do 1 of 2 ways:

• Thumbtack a blind fold near the doorbell and dead bolt the door. When the doorbell is rang you lead him/her out to the yard where the picnic awaits

Or

• Leave a trail of the mini version of his/her favorite chocolates to the back yard.

2.Lay down a Blanket or Mat Big enough for the two of you to stretch out plus the food. Be Careful where you lay the blanket try to look for a spot where you don't see any ants or bugs so you don't have any unexpected guests.

3.Pick up some candle holders like the one in the picture to the right----> If your back yard isn't that windy than you can just get a simple candle holder but this candle holder is great for atmosphere as well.

4.Set up a radio near your blanket playing your local love song radio station or a Cd or Ipod whatever preferred.

5.Rose petals would be an amazing touch but not for out side if you know what I mean. Since this is a date for the person you love we are going to spread 4 Roses, rose petals all over the bed and 3-7 small candlesagain you want to watch where you put the candles so you don't start a fire.

6.If this is an anniversary Dinner than you might want to do something extra special. But since i don't know your loved one personally I have several suggestions for different people!

• Jewelry why of course Watches, bracelets or earrings.
• A Dozen roses. The rose in the middle is fake so you tell him or her that you will love them until that last rose dies.
• A Poem is a Classic idea but its so RARELY(well at least in my relationships)used that its a wonderful idea! At the Bottow there are links to some great poems unless you prefer to write one which is even more special.

Now then this is my idea of a romantic dinner for two without spending SOO much money at a restaurant. GOOD LUCK :)
