Valentine's Day is upon us once again! During this season of love, every couple likely wants to send flowers as a symbol of their enduring affection. However, with this global celebration, everyone is ordering Valentine's flowers, which can lead to unexpected issues. For example, you might miss the chance to place an order (most florists open for pre-orders 1-2 months in advance), face higher prices, or even successfully book an order but find that you lack time on the day itself, leaving you unable to present the flowers you worked so hard to arrange (especially since they often cost more than usual).
Don't let these potential problems ruin your special day! Love You Flower would like to share four tips to ensure your Valentine's Day goes smoothly this year, even if you don't give flowers exactly on the 14th. We guarantee it will be just as sweet as giving flowers on that day!
Send flowers for a date in advance
If you're planning a date on February 14 but are worried about not being able to order flowers on that day, consider the advance date plan. Surprise your partner by sending flowers between the 9th and 13th, either to their home or, for a grand gesture, to their workplace. Imagine the envy of both single and taken colleagues as they see a beautiful bouquet announcing that this Valentine's Day holds a special date waiting for your partner!
Don’t forget to include a card with details or hints about the date! With this sweet combo of flowers, a heartfelt card, and an exciting date, you can be sure that your love will continue to blossom for a long time!
Example messages for the card
- This Valentine's Day, let’s go for dinner! Dress nicely, okay? I’ll pick you up at 7 PM at your house, Love you.
- I want you to be the first to receive Valentine's flowers this year. :) On February 14th, there will be a surprise. See you at xxx at 8 PM

On Valentine's Day, if you're worried about not having flowers like other couples, you can always bring an additional rose for your partner to convey the message, "You are my one and only." Just that simple gesture can be incredibly sweet! It's hard to imagine anyone not loving a surprise like this.
I want to give this to you first because you are more special than anyone else
This method is super easy! Just send flowers to your partner ahead of other couples before Valentine's Day. But what's important is the message on the card. You could also call or message your partner directly with a sentiment like, "Every day with you is already Valentine's Day."

With this approach, you can be confident that your partner will be impressed because it’s a genuine surprise! It’s different from giving flowers on Valentine’s Day when your partner might think, "You would have sent flowers anyway."
And here’s a little tip for the guys: Many women enjoy comparing experiences, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. Imagine an office with ten women; the first one to receive Valentine's flowers will be thrilled. But as the second, third, fourth, and fifth women also receive flowers, the excitement diminishes. Eventually, when all ten receive flowers, the initial thrill fades. Even those who receive flowers later may feel a bit let down, wondering why theirs arrived so late.
Instead of letting this scenario happen, surprise your partner by sending flowers in advance, between the 10th and 13th. Whether it’s a small or large bouquet, it will be special and meaningful because your partner will be the only one to receive Valentine's flowers early, standing out from everyone else. Plus, this gesture will make you the boyfriend of her dreams!
Example messages for the card
- You're special to me, so I want you to receive flowers before anyone else in the world. I love you so much!
- With you, every day is Valentine’s Day for me, and I will make every day Valentine’s Day for you.
Pretend to forget and surprise later
This method is a bit risky; you really need to be bold and committed to the surprise. The flowers should be stunning, and the atmosphere must be uniquely romantic to show that you’ve been planning this for a long time, rather than just forgetting and scrambling at the last minute.
In addition to the flowers, consider decorating the room for the surprise as well. Even if you're going all out, the cost may end up being more reasonable than buying a small bouquet of Valentine’s flowers. Prices for flowers at most shops can double or triple on Valentine's Day, so this approach could be a smart way to save while still making a grand gesture!

Try decorating the room with fairy lights or Christmas lights to create a wonderfully romantic atmosphere. Importantly, these lights are quite affordable! You can easily find them at stores or in the lighting section of department stores.
Example messages for the card
- I didn’t forget; I wanted you to know that you are important to me every day, not just on Valentine’s Day.
- I love you every day, not only on Valentine’s Day. Hope you like it!
Let’s go on a date another day, it’ll be even happier!
Since Valentine's Day falls on a Tuesday this year, which is a work or school day for most people, both you and your partner may still be tied up with work, meetings, or customer calls, making it hard to keep the reservations you worked so hard to secure. Plus, with traffic jams on the road—whether you're in a private car or a taxi—you could be stuck for ages. Even public transportation like the subway or sky train can be packed, leaving you exhausted by the time you arrive at the restaurant. If you're late, your plans might fall apart altogether.
Instead of risking your special day, why not skip the 14th and reschedule your date for the weekend before or after Valentine's Day? This way, you can relax without the pressure of competing for reservations or getting caught in traffic. You'll also have the opportunity to find beautiful flowers for your partner at more reasonable prices than on Valentine’s Day. While this may not be as thrilling or extravagant, it’s perfect for couples who prefer a more laid-back approach and just want to spend quality time together.
