Send your partner a handwritten invitation to the supper. Send the invitation through email, leave it on your partner’s pillow, present it with flowers, stick it on the dashboard of their car, or surprise them with a giant teddy and a bunch of personalised signs.
Candles

Go out and get some candles in bulk, light them all up and then disperse them throughout your setting. Maintain a low light level so the candles can provide their own air of mystery. Candlelight dinner provides you with a great opportunity to decorate the space with lights strung from ceiling to floor. Cut them into heart shapes and hang them up, or put them to some other bizarre purpose to lighten the mood!
Table arrangement

Since this is going to be a special night, the table setting should reflect the formal nature of the occasion, with all the trimmings in place (fine linens, silverware, crystal goblets, etc.). Create a stunning table centrepiece to match the rest of the setting. Put some water in a flat bowl, add some colourful floating candles, and you’ve got yourself a startling centrepiece. Spreading rose petals over the table will complete the scene. Throw on the floating candles as soon as the meal begins.
Appetisers

Once the drinks are poured, have some easy appetisers ready to go. You wouldn’t want to have to wait around for dinner for an hour while you sip your beverages. Though cooking the meal together, or at least a portion of it, is a fun element of hosting a romantic candlelight dinner at home.

Dessert

You probably won’t have much space for dessert if you’ve been eating and drinking well throughout the meal. Simple desserts like cupcakes from your favourite bakery or ice cream from the freezer topped with fresh berries and whipped cream would do in place of anything more complicated.
FAQs
Can you have a candlelight dinner in your balcony?
Yes, as evenings are generally pleasant, you can set up the candlelight dinner in your balcony.
How can I prepare a romantic dinner at home for her?
Choose a beverage, such as wine, beer, or mixed drinks, and a simple snack, such as bruschetta or chips and guacamole, to create a romantic evening at home. Then, choose a savoury and satisfying main meal, such as pasta, chicken and veggies, or salmon.
How many candles should a dining table have?
If candles are the sole source of light at the table, each individual should have their own candle. If used in addition to additional illumination, two or four candles are sufficient for a table with up to eight people. Utilise a candle snuffer to extinguish the candles so that wax or sparks do not fly over the table.
What common home object can function as a candle?
A candle could not be easier. Cut a rectangle or half a stick of butter, insert a wick, and light it to complete the candle. Place the butter on a glass or metal surface, and you should get around one hour of illumination per tablespoon.
