2. Pink and Gold Valentine’s Place Setting
Pink and gold create a lovely romantic atmosphere. Spruce up the table just for you two.
Deliver a special note to your spouse in a cute frame, or use the frame as a place card holder. The ones I used, are actually ornaments. So whatever you can find works.

For a slightly different look, place the frame right on the napkin on the plate. And the utensils on the placemat.
