First of all, you need to choose what kind of upcoming evening will be: traditional or unusual. Candles and chocolate covered strawberries are great, but what's stopping you from having a themed date? For example, in the style of the 20s? Or in the spirit of your common favorite movie? Based on the theme, you can choose music, menus, entertainment, and even costumes.

Invitation

There are two ways here: either agree on a date in advance, or surprise your partner. The last option, of course, is more romantic, but there is a risk that it is on this evening that your passion will plan something or simply stay late at work.

To prevent the surprise from being spoiled, ask in advance to come to you under a plausible pretext (if you do not live together) or schedule a joint meeting with friends who, of course, will not come

Situation

Subdued light and pleasant aromas dispose to romance. and flowers are classics, but you can experiment and make up of them original composition... Well, add garlands, lanterns and aroma sticks... And do not forget about the main symbol of love - the heart.

Another design solution is to rearrange the furniture. Try to remove dinner table and have a home picnic on the floor or move the bed to the center of the room and make it the main meeting place.

And, of course, nice music. Make from your favorite songs or turn it on.

Menu

When planning your romantic dinner, try to adhere to three rules:

1. Prepare proven meals or practice preparing new ones ahead of time. Otherwise, you risk ruining all the romance by not delicious food.
2. Choose recipes that don't take much time and effort. A stormy evening awaits you ahead: demonstrating all your culinary talents and immediately collapsing into bed from fatigue is not the best option.
3. Cook something light. Otherwise, romance will turn into a sleepy digestion of food.

Here are a few dishes that you and your significant other will love.

Yes, maybe a lone rabbit will rush in fright from under your feet somewhere in the nearby underbrush. You walk, hand in hand, to a romantic meadow in the midst of which a lone tree with thick, wide, shady branches grows.

The wild grass here is soft and cool, and therefore this secluded place looks like a real paradise on earth. This place is perfect for a real romantic picnic, generously flavored with your sincere love.

An old-fashioned picnic basket, and an ice bucket and divine drink, excellent thirst quencher, is also with you. These items are sure to become part of a beautiful painting that will soon crown your album of incredible, pure and sincere love.

The glass of a wine bottle is coated with seductive drops of invigorating moisture.

Consider some original ideas for a romantic picnic that will help your hearts beat faster and soar in a hot (passionate and lyrical) impulse to each other.

	1. Choose fresh food for a truly romantic picnic Of course, fried chicken, potato salad, fish and barbecue - very delicious food... But! Not for a romantic picnic! Better take your salad with you fresh fruit which consists of plump, juicy fresh grapes, vibrant pineapples, melons, mangoes and, of course, strawberries. Well, in order to recuperate after walking together and passionate kisses, take something more satisfying with you - good cheese and tiny raw smoked sausages. For a romantic picnic, these snacks are also more suitable because they can be served to each other in a more sensual way.
2. Enjoy sparkling juices and champagne in glass For a romantic picnic, be sure to take real glass goblets... Fragile glass, a high thin leg, a sparkling, bubbling drink inside, will help create an atmosphere of solemnity, deep nobility and purity around you.
	3. Bring cut flowers to a romantic picnic with your loved one If a romantic picnic in its essence has a desire to surprise, to cause admiration in the soul of a loved one or beloved, fresh flowers are its indispensable component. Take with you freshly cut garden flowers - roses, carnations, daffodils - while leaving wildflowers for the delight of other lovers, who, perhaps, will discover this corner of paradise after you. Fresh flowers are the embodiment of height, clarity, transparency of feelings, seriousness of intentions. And a romantic picnic should be decorated with something naturally beautiful, something that echoes true love. If circumstances permit, take a bottle or even a vase of water with the flowers so that the flowers do not quickly fade.
4. Bring a thick, comfortable blanket with you One blanket for two - as a symbol of all-consuming trust. One thing means the opportunity to be closer to nature, the earth, and to the one who makes your heart swoon with delight. One thing means a sincere desire to give in, echo, read minds and gasp, waiting for the next heartfelt command.
	5. Take also a book of love poetry, a guitar or a turntable Under the dome of the azure sky, in the shade of a mighty oak tree, familiar poems about love, learned by heart and read to the holes, sound completely unusual and in a new way. Yesenin, Akhmatova, Shakespeare speak here with the breath of the wind, with radiant eyes, with a quiet touch on the hand, as if by chance. All words and subtexts acquire a new, sublime meaning, understandable only to two people sitting on this fluffy carpet of herbs. The verse slowly flows into a kiss, and the kiss sounds like a song from the heart. Fingers sensually touch the guitar strings, a voice hoarse from experience, emotions and passion hums an old romance ... And when the fingers are already exhausted, they plunge into the cool power of the grass around the fountain-island-blanket of your love, and the lips merge in a long kiss, the romance continues to play an old, well-worn history of many lovers, a turntable. Strange, during the conversations you did not notice how the sun was leaning towards sunset. It's time to return to the world of reality and everyday worries! Goodbye, old oak! Thank you for the nook! Thank you meadow too, for being able to keep the secrets of lovers! But wait! After all, you cannot end the story of a romantic picnic for two with a sunset!
6. Plant your own blossoming love tree next to the oak tree Where true love was born and grew stronger, a tree must bloom and grow. As a symbol, as a sign, as a prophecy. The tree, like your love, will grow every year, get stronger, deepen with powerful roots deep into Mother Earth. This is how I see my first romantic picnic with my true love. Yes Yes! I met her just recently! And only to you, the first, I reveal my secret! I haven’t asked her out on such a date yet. I sit here, in the shade of a branchy oak, in the middle of a bright carpet of meadows, and draw on a canvas the sky, in my imagination, every line of it, every our movement and kiss. My favorite tree is barberry, and I will definitely offer her to plant it here together!
