Set a Romantic Atmosphere

            String very tiny and soft white lights along the fireplace, around a door frame or window frame.  This will set a lovely, peaceful mood!

            If your romantic dinner is set to take place while it is daytime and you prefer the dark, cover your windows so that no light will come in.

            When featuring candles, consider using the non-scented types.  This will highlight your savory aromas from your meal.

            Mood music playing softly in the background will further enhance a romantic atmosphere. Plenty of really good radio stations found on the FM dial offer commercial free softer jazz and ambient sounds.

            Set up your meal in front of a fireplace if possible.  The last place you want to eat this romantic meal will be in your kitchen.  If you have to, just this time, rearrange the furniture.  It will pay off in spades!

Setting a Romantic Table

            Use fabric napkins over paper.  Be sure they are spic and span clean! For a romantic flair, use flower buds, dried or fresh and after rolling the napkin, attach the bud with a small piece of fancy ribbon.

            Make this a “no interruptions night.”  This means no phone, cell phone and most all, no pager.

            Use a lace tablecloth and sprinkle it with gold and silver stars and moons for added flair.  He or she will notice every last detail!

            Fill a decorative flower vase with water and then place an assortment of colorful tea candles to float on top.

            Hoping that your dinner will lead you to another room.......prepare it well with scented candles, flower blossoms sprinkled throughout and crisp and clean bed linens just ready to be jumped into!
