"Whether you’re planning to go out with your partner, celebrate at home, or just treat it as a regular day, it’s still fun to dress up in festive outfits and do something special on Valentine’s Day. I’ve always been a big fan of at-home date night because I think there is something so sweet and special about finding a fun activity to do together and just enjoying each other’s company in a relaxed setting. (My personal favorite V-Day tradition? Heart-shaped deep dish pizza.) But if you look forward to going out on a special date night or attending a Galentine’s Day celebration instead, we’ve got you covered, too.
Planning your family travels for this year? Our team is sharing everything parents need to know from trending destinations and where to stay to what to pack and our tried-and-true tips for traveling with kiddos.
Whether your Valentine’s Day this year involves cooking a meal, grabbing takeout, watching a movie, going out on the town, having a fancy date, or some combination of those things, why not look cute and festive while doing it? I am a big proponent of getting into the celebration and wearing red, pink, and hearts. Although some people think it’s cheesy, I think it’s kind of precious that we have a whole day dedicated to love. Here are eight mom-friendly Valentine’s Day outfits to wear this year, no matter what’s on the agenda.
Valentine’s Day Pajamas Outfit
For a family movie night at home or a Galentine’s Day PJ party, opt for a hot pink poplin pajama set that you can wear all year round. To make the look extra festive, add a pair of heart slippers and a scrunchie with Xs and Os—which comes in an adorable set of three for only $8!
