Valentine's Day falls on February 14 every year. Regardless of whether February 14 is on a weekday or weekend, Valentine's Day is officially celebrated on that day.
When should you celebrate Valentine's Day in a year when it occurs midweek? It's entirely up to you.
Some couples take advantage of a Valentine's Day Romance Package to stretch the occasion across a weekend. (These deals are very popular, so it's advisable to make hotel reservations well in advance to avoid missing out.)
When Valentine's Day occurs on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, many couples take a romantic weekend getaway the weekend prior or the weekend after. That's when they do the major celebrating, then simply mark the actual day with a kiss and a card.
If you can't get away on February 14, you can always present your sweetheart with a love coupon, good for travel (or another delight) at a later date.
