When the pursuits of the pragmatic aspects of life become tiresome beyond the level of tolerance, you have to plan something to spice the things up. Going for a candle lit dinner in a restaurant is a grand way of unwinding indeed. But what is novel in heading toward a restaurant every time you want to spend time with each other? Why not this time make some arrangements for having a romantic evening right at your home? And what can be the better way of spending the evening with your spouse than having an elegant candlelight diner together?

You cannot just dream of having a candle light dinner all of a sudden. You have to decide before hand and think of it before making it happen. First of all decide on the date. If you wish to surprise your spouse with the whole arrangement, then just casually ask him about the date he will be free enough to come back home early, without disclosing the reason for asking. Also make an arrangement with your boss to take an early leave that day.

Now that the initial arrangements are over, take a piece of paper, write down the menu and the things you will need to create the ambiance, to the initial arrangements are over, take a piece of paper, write down the menu and the things you will need to create the ambiance. You will probably need an extra evening for shopping the required things. For example you may need to buy a couple of new wine glass, may be you will also need to invest on new set of dishes and so on. Also include in your buying list one or two CDs of light instrumental music, preferably on violin. Also buy some scented candles. Also never forget to choose the brand of wine that your loved one likes most. It is a dinner for you and your loved one. So take into consideration both the perspectives. Finally you have to make a romantic evening come your way with all the fun and joy.

Now that the day has finally arrived invite your husband or boyfriend to a date. This you can escape if you do not have any doubt that he will come back early. If you have any doubt, you should better persuade him to come back early, without disclosing the reason. Otherwise your whole efforts may be wasted. Before your hubby comes back home complete the other preparations, that is cooking the meal and setting the table. It is always advisable to cook delicious but simple dishes and that which can be left into the oven for quite some time in the oven. If you plan to cook lobsters or crabs, then take additional efforts to shell them beforehand, otherwise the things will turn messy. Team them up with simple pasta or noodles and a basket full of fresh bread rolls. Apart from using the best cutleries and silverware, also take the effort to spread fine table cloth and never forget to provide some flower arrangement on the table. A single red rose will be perfectly in sync with the spirit of the whole evening.

Now that everything is in its place, you dress up elegantly, preferably in an outfit which your hubby has a special penchant for or buy a new dress in the shades that he likes most. Switch off your mobiles and remember to consciously avoid the topics like finance, kids or in laws. A candle light dinner is meant to evoke the lost emotions in your hearts, rekindle the fire that has lost in the labyrinth of family responsibilities. So, do not get distracted yourself and also prevent him from getting distracted from the theme of romance. Now you are well prepared to have the most romantic evening with your spouse good luck and cheers. According to my point of view, I feel a perfect romantic dinner starts with Champagne and that is enough to create the mood. Once the mood is created everything happens so smoothly and you can enjoy every moment of it as if in a dream.
