Tell her Valentine's Day means more than romance and gifts. It means she'll be focus of your caring attention, dutiful doting and loving affection.

Here are 9 quick tips to escape Valentine’s Day commercialism and still snuggle with your hunny!

1. Concentration is Name of Game. Guys, you have an amazing ability to focus and solve problems! Focus on how special she is to you. Instead of stressing about perfect Valentine’s gift, think about all fun, silly, spunky, sexy, serious and loving things that she does for you. Chances are she’s doing exactly what she wants you to do in return. Think about who she is. What makes her smile? What she is truly passionate about? What small little things could you do at home every day that would make her feel more loved? Get out your love tools!

2. Under Promise and Over Deliver. Make promises early and make them often…just keep them. No emergency is more important than her love. Show your love and respect for her by honoring your time together and your commitments. Leave work early and call her on way home and tell her you just couldn’t wait to see her. Ask her if she’d like you to pick up something special before you get there.

3. Be a Mirror. We reflect world around us… good, bad and ugly. Be mindful of her moods. When she approaches you with love and joy, mirror it back to her and she’ll feel especially loved and close to you. Or, if she’s had an especially bad day, initiate her cheerful reflection by filling up bathtub with floating candles and tell her to soak in flickering flames of reflective delight.

Definitely words you DON’T want to hear your guests uttering at your wedding. But despite your best intentions, sometimes things slip through cracks. Sometimes you make a really silly mistake that, if you had just stopped and thought about it for a few minutes, never would have happened. The problem is that many brides and grooms are so darn busy trying to manage everything else that’s going on – from housing out-of-town guests to dealing with last-minute cancellations or additions to guest list -- they simply overlook obvious. That’s when smart people wind up making really stupid mistakes. Here are seven common slip-ups that can ruin an otherwise perfect ceremony.

1. Failing to Thank Guests

They came to wedding. They brought gifts. They stopped and congratulated you and took time out of their busy lives to help you celebrate joining of you and your beloved in a new life together. Don’t leave reception hall without saying thank you!

2. Speaking While Intoxicated

This one should be a new form of misdemeanor. If your wedding traditions include bride or groom making a speech to assembled guests, do it before you enjoy free bar. You’ll be thankful later when you watch wedding videos, and you won’t have to apologize to people you don’t remember insulting.

3. Beware Infamous “Wardrobe Malfunction”

Black underwear, white dress. It was a bad idea in elementary school, and it’s still a bad idea today. Check in a mirror in various lighting situations to make sure that your dress isn’t sheer or invisible in certain conditions prior to ceremony. If you are renting a tux, check it for rips and make sure you have it fitted before you bring it home. Also, black is only acceptable color for a tuxedo.

4. Late to Altar
