Celebrate St Patricks Day With Romance
March 17th might not be known as a day of romance, but that does not mean you cannot make it so. In fact, if you turn the tables on this festive holiday and add the right romantic touches, your ladylove or princely sweetheart is likely to never see it coming. After all, St. Patricks Day is about dancing a jig and celebrating the green. There is nothing, however, etched in stone that says the festivities cannot also include a few sweet gestures and an eye toward passion.
If you want to dazzle your sweetheart and celebrate Irish roots, whether you have them or not, there is an excellent plan you can put into action for a holiday inspired night at home. It does involve a few steps and it will take some work on your part, but the payoff will be a March 17th that you and your sweetheart will not soon forget.
Step 1. The ask out. If you do not live together, you will have to ask out your sweetheart. Remember, St. Patricks Day falls on a Monday this year, so a date request for this night is likely to surprise instantly. Excellent ways to go for the ask out include sending flowers with an invitation attached, having a festive holiday gift
Step 2. Set the menu. Unless you are really good in the kitchen, I suggest picking up the phone and talking to a local restaurant about a menu. You can go with traditional Irish, such as stew or corned beef, or whatever happens to suit your tastes. Remember, you are going for romance here, so do plan well.
Step 3. Consider the atmosphere. Of course you will want a candlelit dinner, but you can do much more, especially on St. Patricks Day. Consider selecting romantic Irish folk music, lighting a fire if the weather cooperates and even clearing some space for close dancing.
Step 4. Extras. Depending on where you are in your relationship, you might want to plan a few extras. If retiring behind closed doors is likely on tap, you can prepare a special surprise in here, as well. Consider green silk sheets, lots of candles and even sprinkling a path with silk rose petals or lucky four-leaf clover designs. If you are not quite at this point, consider a nightcap of Irish coffee in front of a fire or candlelight or even green champagne to toast to good fortune.
If you take the right steps, you can turn St. Patricks Day into one of the most romantic holidays going. The festive atmosphere, incredible food and beautiful music that surround this day do lend themselves to romance if you use your imagination to make it so.
