Limo for
a Night
Rent
a limo for the night and spend the evening around town in style. Bring along
some champagne and enjoy the romance. Make a stop at a romantic restaurant for
dinner, then continue the romance in the limo. If you're feeling adventurous,
spend the after-dinner ride getting a little frisky.
Canopy
Lights
Set
up a canopy outside and fill it flickering candles, twinkling white lights, and a radio
playing your favorite love songs softly in the background. Have his/her favorite
drink chilling and a romantic meal prepared. After dinner, dance together under
the lights or take a planned walk lit up with luminaries that leads to a blanket
full of rose petals where you can lay
together and look up at the stars.
Puzzle
It
Spend
the evening piecing together a puzzle. It's something completely different that
allows you work together with a challenging puzzle, but also have an incredibly

the dead for fun (if you're into spooky stuff).
