A Night On The Roof.. In Your Bedroom
<strong>A Garden Enclosed </strong>
On our honeymoon, my husband and I read part of the Song of Solomon to each other before consecrating the marriage. So for our first anniversary I recreated the evening with a little twist. In the story, the woman invites the man into her "garden". So I did just that. I put a chocolate key (that I got at the dollar store near Valentine’s Day) into my husband’s lunch with an invitation to "come into my garden," and a tag on the key that stated that it was the key to unlock the door. (“Here is the key to a garden enclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed." -- Song of Solomon) Then I decorated our home to look like a garden by putting vines around the doorframes and filling it with flowers. To add to the garden-like atmosphere, I lit incense (with flower fragrance) and played one of those nature cds in the background. I then laid waiting for him in our bed sprinkled with flower petals wearing only three flowers in places (I am sure you can guess where). I encourage you and your spouse to read the book together, in parts. It’s very romantic and may inspire a few ideas of your own. -submitted by Anonymous
<strong>A New Country </strong>
Knowing we could not afford a romantic getaway, I decided to bring the world to my Significant Other. I used my computer and created a country, with him the king, of course, created a language, some laws, designed some money, created a passport with a VISA to this country, designed a visitor's book detailing all of this. Then I created a "You are entering" type of sign and put it up in the room that was transformed into another country. Low lights, tinsel (from Christmas), candles, a crown. The day before the "occasion" he was given a passport to this country along with clothing instructions (would not want to stick out (pun intended) in the crowd. When he got up in the morning he showered, dressed in his bright red robe and entered the pearl beaded entranceway to another world. There I fed him grapes, poured drinks, massaged and pampered him the entire day. No TV, just soft music and total focus on him. The "king" tipped royally. -submitted by Angel
<strong>A Night On The Roof </strong>
We went to our favorite little apartment by the sea that we rent from time to time but to avoid the monotony, we took our bed and some candles up to the roof. It was the perfect night! -submitted by Coffee
<strong>A Ring Of Fire </strong>
Have the following things ready: a big circle of candles, blindfold, flower petals that spell out "I love you!", some music that the 2 of you like, and a piece of paper with 101 things that you love about the person. Now before your love walks in the door blindfold them and stand them in the circle of candles and as you light them say things like, “This is for every kiss,†“This is for our love,†etc. until the last candle is lit. Take off their blindfold and at that moment give them the 101 reasons why you love them and place on the music that is special to the two of you. This is a very romantic way to start the night with your love! -submitted by Moonraven
<strong>A Shared Treasure Hunt </strong>
A few years ago my boyfriend had to work till late in the evening so I decided to surprise him with a treasure hunt. I had some nice envelopes and stationary and left clues all around the house. The house was dark, and silent. The first clue was taped to the front door for when he arrived. I included a book of matches and the rules of the game. I offered hints for the price of a kiss and a message that read, "Follow the clues to light your way." The first clue also included a small candle for him to light. I hid wine glasses, a chilled bottle of our favorite wine, chocolate to share, and a couple of little gifts for him. As he found the items, he had small tasks to complete...like choosing a song and dancing with me, sharing a glass of wine with me, things like that. With each clue I included a candle for him to light, after he had found all the clues and lit all the candles and turned on the music and opened the wine and fed me the chocolate it really enhanced the mood. Needless to say the evening was perfect and unforgettable. He still has all of the clues and even the matchbook (four years later!) and every now and then we run across them and it still makes him smile. -submitted by Anonymous
<strong>A Trail Of Love </strong>
When your better half gets home have a note outside the entry door with some directions on it, telling him/her what to do as they enter the house. Have a trail of notes in places that you know they will go to, giving them more directions. In the notes you tell them to take off clothes, shoes, etc... follow the trail of rose petals you have placed on the floor leading to whatever room you plan on being intimate in. Have the room decorated with some type of arrangements that will lead you up to the moment to dance for your partner. Make sure you have lit candles and sexy dancing music playing. Hide in a room until your partner has followed ALL directions. Then you come out and do your thing. What a night to remember! -submitted by Renee Moore
<strong>A trip to Hawaii in your bedroom </strong>
My husband had a wonderful evening planned for me one night after a stressful day of tending the children I walked into our bedroom and was amazed to find a tropical paradise. He had gone to a local party supply place and bought a cardboard palm tree, a sign that said Aloah, alot of plastic lae, Bananas coconuts,and pineapples from the grocery store. He told me to sit on the bed and we watched a travel video about Hawaii, ate cut up pineapple and he gave me a massage with tropical oil. It was a wonderful evening. -submitted by Natalie
<strong>An Autumn Date In </strong>
My Parents were out of town for a week and I wanted to do something sweet for my boyfriend. So, first I got 2 blank puzzles and wrote a note on each and hid them around my house to let him know what was going on tonight. First, we had a candle lit dinner then cuddled and watched a scary movie (it was near Halloween time). After the movie was over I planned a special dance in my living room. I told him to wait while I got ready, and I came out in my prom dress because we never got to go to prom together or slow dance (he said he always wanted to slow dance with me). So I played about 10 of our favorite songs and we slow danced the night away. He loved it so much. After that we carved a pumpkin together. It was so cute! He told me that no one has ever done anything like that for him. It turned out great! -submitted by Meg
<strong>Anniversary Dinner With Flair </strong>
For our 12th Anniversary I hired a personal Cook to come into our home and cook my husband his favorite meal and Dessert and also hired a harpist to play the harp while we were being served. As he got home from work he was so surprised to hear the music coming from inside the house and enter in to see a harpists and a cook - he absolutely loved it and was very surprised - He said he didn't know how I would top this the following year!!! -submitted by Tiny
<strong>Arabian Night </strong>
Every year we celebrate my husband's birthday with an intimate dinner at home. I always choose a theme to make it fun and interesting and focus the evening dinner and fun around the theme. Last year, I went all out for a fun and festive Arabian night. I cooked up some great food from the middle east, couscous, lamb, simmered dates, almond desert and honeyed figs. I decided also that this was a great time to do a little house cleaning. So, I threw out our old sofa and in it's place I set up a tent (I went out and purchased the netting that you can buy already fitted on a circular tube with a ring to hang), suspended it from the ceiling, used a few small wool carpets and took every pillow and cushion in the house and arranged it inside. From the center hook I suspended a great little beaded lantern votive candleholder I had gotten for Christmas and voila!!! A beautiful exotic evening for two. If you’re really daring you can dress up in a beautiful harem (I did) or genie outfit and whisk yourselves away to another place and time. Needless to say, we had a great time at very little cost... this year I'm planning a “marooned on a desert isle†theme complete with a birthday message in bottle.nded a great little beaded lantern votive candle holder I had gotten for Christmas and voila!!!
