Last year, my husband and his friends (who are also my friends along with their wives) decided to surprise the ladies for Valentine's Day.
Having been married for over 5 years and settling into life filled with many wonderful days, I was not at all excited about the surprise.
I figured we would have a nice time as we always do, whether we're alone as a couple or on a group outing.
Boy, were we in for an unforgettable evening.
Here's what the guys did:
It was the perfect finale to a very sweet evening.
This year, the girls are challenged to reciprocate the sweetness of last year's "Valentine's Couples Extravaganza.
" Although it will be tough to beat, we are happy for and up to the challenge of putting smiles on our special guys' faces.
So to all the men out there, take notes.
If you're planning on taking Valentine's Day into your own hands, consider some of the ideas above as a template for your solo or group event.
From what I hear, the guys had a blast planning something special for us as a group while sharing the in the responsibilities of our enchanting evening.
However, if you're ready to tackle it alone, by all means, get to it! Final Tip: There is plenty of free conference call services available on the web so gather your friends, schedule a conference call and make it happen.
Show your valentine just how special she is and I'm sure she'll return the favor in more ways than one.
(Wink, wink).

I figured we would have a nice time as we always do, whether we're alone as a couple or on a group outing.
Boy, were we in for an unforgettable evening.
Here's what the guys did:
- Created a dimly lit ambiance in my girlfriend's theatre room (soft music and candle light)
- Presented us with a chocolate dipped edible arrangement.
- Kept our wine glasses filled.
- Dressed in matching black aprons, they arrived with an appetizer of shrimp toasts oozing with melted cheese.
- They later returned bearing kisses and gifts as each husband took turns telling why they loved us so much.
- Our gifts included the traditional Teddy Bear, Roses & Balloons (just like high school).
It was SOOO cute. - We were then led hand-in-hand upstairs to a candle lit dining room where we were served a full course, "home cooked" meal of roasted lamb chops with rosemary, veggies, rice pilaf & salad.
- The night carried on in the soft glow of candle light, friendship, love & laughter.
It was the perfect finale to a very sweet evening.
