Which is more fun? Planning 4 Valentine's Day or Waiting until the last minute?

I like to sometimes wait till the last minute before buying people non-Christmas day gifts. I like the panic taht tends to ensue around a set deadline. It's kinda fun in a stressful way. I make it a point to actively ignore Valentines day in front of women. I find the surprize gifts are the most appreciated.

We are mushy all the time. It matters very little. I have tried several times, but not kept up with it, to buy a little daily gift for the whole month, and celebrate Valentine Month. I would buy things like a red pocket notebook, since hubby likes to have one at all times, and a balloon, and finger puppets, you name it. We are somewhat more silly than we are romantic. Last year, in my brother's church, several couples renewed their vows. Some had planned to do this, others, like Bob and I were just there to visit, but it is a small, informal church, and they had printed up plenty of certificates, so we renewed our vows along with many other couples. I am fortunate to have my big home church and the privilege of attending often this small church as well. It is like having extra family.

Well, I have tried it both ways. I planned one year for weeks ahead of time for my ex's Valentine. I did all sorts of cool stuff JUST FOR HIM! He totally ignored it and was a real downer. I never did anything overly special again. It was very hurtful and set the scene for alot of what went down later. I have had some very nice Valentine's Days. Usually from my kids.

Hi Bear, It's good to plan your date especially if there's a need for any reservation or preparation. it will be unfair for your partner to learn about this the last minute and the person will be stressed in preparing for the date. but on the other hand, there's the thrill of it making it a surprise date for your loved one. as long as it will not ruin the purpose of the date...whatever and whichever is fine with me!

Hope you are not too mushy about it. For me, it is only another day, meaning you can only give so much love and do or try so much things. I don,t plan anything at all for this valentines day as i do not feel like it. But you have yourself a wonderfull and happy valentines day. TATA.

Hi friend! I haven't celebrates the valentine's day many times, but I think that the planning for it is more fun, because we go up and down, left and right, and do so many things to make it a very special moment

though I hate being manipulated by merchants to participate in the "holiday", I usually plan well ahead.

For me planning for anything is more fun than waiting for the last minute. Valentine's Day this year is low budget since we are low on cash this moth, but i am thinking 14 months in advance of a Milestone birthday for my husband. He'll be 64 this year, and 65 ext year, so I am going to throw a big party for him for his big birthday next year. I'm glad I have the time and budget to plan for it. As for Valentine's Day, we just bought eachother presents from our favourite chocolate shop, and we are going to give them to eachother tomorrow afternoon.

i do have plans but sometimes we change it at the last minute. but since my wife gave birth to our son who is four years old already, our plans are more deffinite. we make our dates at lunch and not on dinner. we leave our son to my sister and we dont like to get in their way of their date too so we date during lunch and be at home around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. about gift to give i started a discussion about that so i have something in mind already.

Hi Bearballew! I have kind of waited to the last minute, but went out tonight to get my Valentine his gift and have some special things planned for him tomorrow! Unfortunately, he has to go to work on Monday which is really a holiday here in the US, but one that he doesn't have off! I am going to make him a special dinner, let him take a bubble bath with candles, give him a special massage, and then....to be continued....lol

hi bearballew, it is not my tradition to celebrate valentine day,but i am linked to that because i am working for company that arranging deliveries of cakes,gifts and bouquets to their customers living in my place,so iam some what familiar with the valentine day,have a nice day

i think it is better to wait till last min. because it is so excited to wait for your love

I wait untill the perfect idea pops in my head. I think he enjoys that best. I am a last minuter always. I have never been a huge plan it all out type, for anything. I like spontanious what happends, happends!

I'm one of those last minute people. I think the pressure brings out the most innovated and awesome ideas. If I took the time to sit down and try to think of what to do I couldn't come up with ideas as awesome as those under pressure.

Suspense is always interesting and thrilling. Instead of planning for a valentines day and doing exactly how we planned, I feel deciding suddenly and before we could realise what we planned, implementing the plan, gives more thrill and shivers than planning before.

V-day isn't much fun without a special someone - I got my mom a card...

I just had a great day today. I haven't planned anything, sort of had rough ideas on what to do, and made decisions on the last minute. It turned out great, though. Bought some snacks, brought it to a nice park where we had our first date, went to a holy altar where we lighted candles, ate dinner on a romantic place which we always wanted to but haven't had the chance before, and then had a nice chat on the way home. Nothing much, it may seem, but when you're in a more-than-seven-years relationship(as I am) events like this are almost rare. I realized how much we have missed on the simple things that we shared.

I don't have a special someone just have my kids. I did get gifts for my grandson, a card for my son & dil, a card to my grandaughter i never see & that's all the planning i did. Hope u have a good valentine's & get special treatment from your loved ones.

My husband and I don't typically make a big deal out of Valentine's Day. But, this year we did (for once in the past eight years). We went out to dinner on Saturday night to avoid the crowd (this was so very nice for us) and then yesterday, which was actually Valentine's Day, we made a quick trip to Sam's Club where we were able to gift each other with a new LCD television. This new gift is our gift to each other for the year, but it was kind of ironic that we ended up getting it on Valentine's Day.

it comes spontaneously for the love.. i think thats more fun and truly realistic..
