Of course, ideally to celebrate romance, a getaway to any of the Bed & Breakfast Inns of Missouri (BBIM) is the ideal choice, but sometimes you just can't find the time to getaway. Thus, adding romantic touches to the home - whether on Valentine's Day or throughout the year - is a great idea. And no one knows how to add romance to a dwelling better than Missouri innkeepers. Thus, here are some suggestions for adding a tough of romance to your readers' and listeners' households throughout the year! From the Loganberry Inn, Fulton, MO 573-642-9229 * Battenburg lace plate mats or runners can be purchased inexpensively and are very romantic draped across a breakfast tray or used in a table setting with crystal and candlelight. Add Kenny G's Breathless CD, and you've got it made! From Trisha's Bed & Breakfast in Jackson, MO 573-243-7427 * Duncan Hines makes a red velvet cake mix that's easy. Bake in layers and frost with white frosting, then garnish with strawberries shaped into hearts! * Leave a coupon for a romantic evening with a description of what you have in mind for your loved one. From the Geery's B&B in St. Charles, MO 314-916-5344 * Replace the light bulbs in the house with flicker bulbs that simulate candles flickering. They're widely available in hardware stores. * Set a vase of red roses at the breakfast table for your loved one. Men love roses just as much as women! From Aunt Sadie's Garden Glade B&B in Branson 417-335-4063 * Start the day out right with a "heart-rendering" breakfast. Make waffles in the shape of hearts. This can even be done using frozen waffles and cutting them to shape. From Walnut Street Inn, Springfield, MO 417-864-6346 * Sprinkle rose pedals over the bed. They're usually available from local florists. Note of advice: use light colored ones to avoid staining the sheets. * Place 20 small votive candles in glass containers around the room. For an extra touch, use aeromatherepy scented candles to induce relaxation and romance! From the Bellevue B&B in Cape Giradeau, MO 573-335-3302 * A family idea is to go back to the good ol' days and make valentine boxes by decorating any cardbox carton or box. Each family member can have one so that other family members can drop surprise notes or candies in them throughout the year. * To warm your sweetie, surprise him or her with hot towels to wash up or put on tired feet. Just dampen the towels and put a little aromatic oil in a crock pot and let them steam. From Romancing The Past, Fulton, MO 573-592-1996 * Using Alpha Bit cereal, spell out I Love You in the cereal bowl. * Use a bar of soap and carefully write "I Love You" backwards on the rear window of the car, so your loved one will read it as they drive to work. From Morgan Street Repose, Boonville, MO 660-882-7195 * Serve muffins and coffee to your loved one in bed, just as they wake up! It's a great way to pamper that special person! |
