It’s the season of love! Whilst those meticulous lovers who are adept at planning, already have everything set in place for their loved ones, there are some people who left everything to the last minute who could be wondering just what to do for their special ones this Valentine’s Day.
If you’re planning your Valentine’s Day date in Zimbabwe, then you’re one lucky lover because we have put together a list of sweet ideas which can help you say I love you to your sweetheart!
Dinner Date
This is a timeless Valentine’s Day idea. No one can say no or a dinner date. Although slightly expensive, dinner dates are always worth it. Always make sure to log off from social media before the date. Be fully present and devote your full attention to the conversation and the person you are with. Grace Events & Lifestyle Functions Venue in Chitungwiza has a Valentine’s Day Dinner with live music, cocktails and plenty of fun and games.

Pack A Picnic
This is my own personal favorite and something that I would definitely do with my sweetheart. Not only are picnics a super cost effective way to celebrate your love, but they’re also a no fuss activity which won’t require you to dress up too much. Picnics are a perfect for the romantics at heart and for nature lovers who want nothing more than to spend time with their lover far-away from the madding crowd.
This Valentine’s Day, Becks Events is providing stress free Valentines Packages. From beautiful florals that will sweep your partner off their feet to stress free picnic packages. The picnic setup will include board games, photoshoots and a mind blowing delicious meal.
