When is Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day is on 14 February every year. It is named after Saint Valentine, and has been associated with romantic love since the Middle Ages. Today people exchange cards, flowers and chocolates, and restaurants are often fully booked on the evening itself.
Planning ahead pays off: popular restaurants take bookings three to four weeks in advance, florists raise prices in the final days, and cards sent by post should go out about a week before. If you are sending the countdown to your partner, use Copy link or Download card and share it in a message. For a countdown to an anniversary instead, change the event name and date and send the new link.
