Get a bit Risky & Romantic this Easter

It's time we started associating Easter with some of the more romantic holidays. It is, of course, a religious holiday, but so is Christmas. Many couples find time for romance during the Christmas holiday. Why shouldn't they do the same at Easter? The start of spring, the warmth in the air, and the rebirth of nature make the Easter season ripe for romance. So this Easter weekend, treat your gal or guy to an Easter date.

Plan your romance for Friday or Saturday of Easter weekend. That way, your plans for romance won't interfere with any church services, kid's egg hunts or family dinners that are planned for Easter Sunday. 

One of the great things about romance is that it's not necessary to make grand gestures and spend lots of money to let the one you love know how you feel. The Easter season lends itself to simple, romantic and fun ideas. Go with them and you won't go wrong. Fools rush in, so don't be tricked into thinking that women always need a big show to know they are cared about. It's been my experience that it's the little, thoughtful things that really melt a girl's heart.

Plan a grown up Easter Egg Hunt. 

Buy some inexpensive plastic eggs and fill them with small gifts like favorite chocolates and candies, love notes, and I.O.U.'s for backrubs, massages and breakfast in bed or a night in control of the remote control. 

Set up your bedroom with soft lights, Easter theme appetizers, wine, champagne or beer and dress in something suggestive. Then hide your small gifts all around the bedroom, including the closet and send your sweetheart on an egg hunt. You may want to have one "eggstra" special egg with some very special gift hidden in it. But make sure you remember exactly where you hid it or both of you will be searching around to find all your hidden gifts.

Role Play as a "Macho" Easter Bunny pursuing his Plush, Soft, Cuddly "Chick"

Get some inexpensive rabbit and chick costumes or accessories from any discount store. It is also great fun to make up each other's faces as a rabbit or chick using make-up or easily removable paint. 

After you conclude your romantic role playing activities, feast on a unique, specially designed Easter Gift Basket filled with Easter theme chocolates and treats. Accompany your culinary feast with your favourite wine or champagne.

Add a bouquet of spring flowers to any of these ideas, and you're on your way to making Easter a romantic holiday.
