Don't think about what you can't do today, think about having a romantic celebration without spending a lot of money.

Personalizing your celebration and letting your loved one know how you feel about them can be very easy:

2. Frame a new, special photo of the two of you and display it in your home or in your wallet.
3. Haven't purchased a place to call your own yet? Put the money you may have spent on a expensive dinner in " someday we're buying a home account" or the real estate account.
4. Leave a message on voicemail with a silly or romantic poem.
