While you and your spouse will probably have spent many a Valentine’s Day loved up when you were dating or engaged, there’s something a bit more special about your first Valentine’s Day as a married couple!

Alternatively, have some of our champagne flutes personalised with your names, your wedding date or nicknames - Brainstorm your ideal Valentine’s Day date scenario; don’t forget to think about what your spouse would want, too!
- Tell your spouse that you’re planning a big who-ha for Valentine’s Day so they don’t go overboard with their plans. Remind them that next year, it’ll be their turn to plan the evening.
