Valentine's Day Dinner Ideas You Can Do At Home!
Note – This post was originally posted back in February 2018 but I thought it was extremely relevant today, especially if you're looking for a way to have a nice Valentine's Dinner at home. Check out these Valentine's day dinner ideas – your family will thank you!
My friend Cheree created this amazing Valentine's Day Dinner and Menu Plan for you, and oh my goodness, I just love it!
Cheree has some crazy amazing skills when it comes to floral decor, and her centerpiece was perfect. Don't feel like you have to do anything this fancy, but she spent just $20 on all the flowers you see here ~ you could just as easily skip this step or use something you have on hand (but hers really are gorgeous!)
By using things she (mostly) had on hand, she made a beautiful table arrangement that was such a fun way to spoil her family at home.
But the best part is this really, really …. REALLY cute menu plan to help you prepare your Valentine's Day too. You can totally still have time to put all this together today 🙂
🍴Menu Note: This full Valentine's Day Menu (and other holiday menus!) can also be found in our Celebration Menu Planning Made Easy Set!
Here's are a few Valentine's day dinner ideas:
Caprese Salad Skewers
Mixed Berry Spinach Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette (Laurie's FAVORITE)
Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Chicken & Parmesan Crusted Baby Potatoes
Shirley Temples
… and …. this AMAZING (really truly) Flourless Chocolate Torte!
A few of the PPP team members actually were able to enjoy Cheree's meal a few years ago together down in Alabama and after seeing their yummy pics I felt a twinge of jealousy and just had to try it out for my family too!
I spent $7 on some tulips to fluff our table (nothing as fancy as Cheree's flower arrangement, but still a fun splurge!), and then sorted through our ribbon scraps and linen napkins to come up with a tiny bit of a fancy table in our home too.
My kids LOVED the potatoes, the cake was fantastic (although we maybe dove in a wee bit too early before it was completely cooled . . . ), and having Shirley Temples for dinner was such a fun treat at our house.
So, if you'd love to skip the crowds and enjoy a simple Valentine's at home on a penny pinched budget, these Valentine's day dinner ideas are just for you. Take a look at this delicious meal!

Loved this last year! My kids keep asking what we are having this year, this was fun but was hoping you had some new ideas for a family valentines dinner any new menu ideas?
So glad it was a hit, Joy! We will see what we can come up with for more ideas soon. 🙂
Thank you so much for this!
I will be making this for my small family.
I made this Valentine’s Day dinner last year when all my family was home. It was so fun! This year I’m making the dessert for our Small Group to enjoy, dinner will be just hubby and me ❤️
Yayy ~ love that Vicki! 🙂
I’m making this dinner for guests, it looks like the recipe is for 4 servings?? Is that an accurate guess, or is it printed somewhere and I missed it? Thank you! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your wonderful staff!
How fun Patty ~ love that! These recipes are supposed to serve around 8, but that may vary depending on how big of eaters you have 🙂 Hope that helps, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love this! My husband and I always have Valentines day dinner at home. We even dress up! Little background story…. We live in the Los Angeles area, and for the first 16 years we were were married, we lived in a very small apartment in LA and we would go out for Valentines day. Traffic in LA is HORRIBLE on Valentines day, and many years it would be so bad that by the time we got home from work (over an hour drive for a few miles & I’d be in tears my the time I got home) and drove to the restaurant, we would be late. The only saving grace was that so would everyone else! We thought about going to McDonalds because we could at least walk there! When we finally bought our house, we decided that New Years Eve and Valentines day would be at home. Looking forward to trying some or all of these!
This is so cute. Thanks for the ideas.
You’re so welcome Theresa! 🙂
