Valentine Ideas For Seniors 2020

There’re a few times each year that we really ought to remember our significant other. Among those times, are Valentine’s Day.

Just because you and yours are likely to be grandparents now, it doesn’t mean that all the fun needs to grow old. In fact, seniors and near seniors probably have more freedom now than you ever did when all the kids still lived at home.

But even still, finding a worthwhile date idea that is new and exciting can be stressful.

So today, I felt like sharing a few ideas around Utah and Salt Lake County, that might make 2020’s Valentine’s Day all the more memorable.

Make This Valentines Special

Our top 3 Valentine ideas in Utah

First idea

Painting the Night at Scera. Have fun creating your own 9”x12” painting. Here, you’ll be able to follow along as an accomplished artist takes you through the steps of making your own art.
You’ll get to play with acrylics and take home something that hopefully you’ll be proud of. And if you’re not proud of it, at least you’ll have had fun making it, and maybe even go home with a prize on top of that.

Third idea

When is the last time you got all dressed up fancy for a date and went to the ball?

How about a masquerade ball?

If you’re feeling adventurous, then throw on your finest formals, and get your masks ready to go, because at the Provo City Academy Square Library, they are hosting a dance with dinner and live Jazz entertainment.

This is one unique opportunity, a throwback to a long-gone age, that you almost can’t afford not to attend.

Or throw your own party

If you live in one of our 55+ communities for active adults, and you’re not feeling cupid’s arrow exciting you about any of the above listed date ideas, then try putting together a Valentines party of your own at your community clubhouse.

Chances are good that you’ll find some fun couples who’d love to group together and make this year’s celebration one to remember.
After all, that’s one of the great benefits of living in a 55 and older community—you get to be around lots of folks your own age and have a huge family of friends to spend time with. If you put your heads together, you’re sure to find plenty to do.

Who knows, maybe you’ll even get talking, and get a small group to go out and enjoy a night out on the town. And if I happen to see you at the masquerade ball, I’ll be the one wearing a mask.
Happy Valentines Day.
