So, my sister's husband will be home in like 8 days for a 2 wk visit from his tour in Iraq. I wanted to make them a romantic dinner one nite... I have the menu but what I need now is extra ideas for all the "lil" stuff. This is what I have so far...
Low light and music.
Fresh cut flowers with some picked off to adorn the top of the table.
Glass decor bowls with floating candles.
Personalized fortune cookies, one per person.
Im sure there is a bunch of other stuff Im missing... so if any of you had ideas out there I would very much appreciate them.
Thank you in advance!

How else are you setting the table? Tablecloth, chair slipcovers, best dinnerware and silverware, cloth napkins, charger plates...these are all great additions to a nice, romantic table! Otherwise, you certainly have the rest ready to go!
Make sure all of your special serving dishes and utensils are clean and ready to go, too!
I love the fortune cookie idea - maybe place them in their own special dish or plate.
I would make sure that the phone is turned off, or moved to another room, and make them check their cell phones at the door!
Do they drink? A bottle of wine or champagne in an ice bucket would be nice, or even do a bottle of sparkling white grape juice!
This is really a sweet idea - it is nice that you are doing all of this for them! If I think of anything else, I will come back and add it!
Oh, make sure you have a camera so you can snap a couple of pictures for them to remember the occasion.
Bless you and good luck!

White rice: boil 4 cups of water, upload 2 cups of white rice then simmer (lined) for 15-20 min, possibly 5 or 10 min extra reckoning on the way you like it. basically shop an eye fixed on it so which you do no longer burn it. eliminate from warmth and allow it take a seat for 5 minutes uncovered. user-friendly sufficient. Cole Slaw: purchase a Readypak of shredded cabbage, and a equipment of shredded carrots. combination at the same time by hand and upload mayonnaise. Wah lah! Canned vegetables, upload butter. want I say extra? Baked Potatoes: Take as many potatoes as you like, poke fork holes in them, wrap them up in foil and put in the oven at 425 for an hour. upload sourcream, butter, olive oil, garlic, onion, parsley, chives, tomatoes, shredded cheese, particularly plenty something you like. the great project approximately those critters is you may refrigerate them and cook dinner them day after today along with your eggs, beans, something you like. you may hardly tell they are baked once you mixture them with some thing else. speedy and person-friendly basically the way you like. you have a crock pot too. Take a couple of minutes to cut a mixture of finished vegetables in a million/2 or quarters and positioned them in and allow it experience on low for some hours. How no longer person-friendly or time ingesting is that? Your final selection (and basically wish) if even it fairly is no longer person-friendly sufficient, is to easily consume OUT!!!

I suggest a cheese or chocolate fondue setting.
They can talk and share intimacy in a fun way.
Bring strawberries, good cookies, passion fruits, cracker varieties and and anything else that goes well with these hot delicacies.
Very nice of you.

LMAO @ Cheffy!!!
Anyway, an outdoor evening picnic is always great, a small fire, blanket, wine, cheese, bread, a chicken or tuna salad with the the crickets making music and the stars for candles.
