Valentine’s Day is only a few days away! So, whether you’re planning a night on the town with your sweetheart or intending to hit the bars with other single friends this Valentine’s Day, I bet your phone is going to go with you. Why not utilize that device and let it help you plan the perfect February 14th this year with some of these fantastic romantic apps? Here are my top eight picks for absolute must-haves for this Valentine’s Day:

1. Bloom That – iPhone

Flowers are an absolute staple of Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking for an easy way to send your loved one a beautiful bouquet on Valentines or any other day, then this app is definitely worth a look. Guaranteed to arrive within 90 minutes of ordering, this app connects you to florists in your area for a quick and painless gift.

2. Songza – iPhone/Android

Music can really set the mood for just about any activity, so whether you’re planning a Single’s party at your house or a romantic candlelit dinner, Songza can help you be sure to set the mood exactly where you want it with personalized playlists for every activity!

3. Open Table – iPhone/Android/Windows/Blackberry

Valentine’s Day is probably the most popular day to eat out, so procrastinators can sometimes find themselves in trouble. This handy app allows you to browse nearby restaurants and reserve a table on the fly for your night!

4. Urbansitter – iPhone

If you are having trouble finding a good sitter for your romantic night out, then Urbansitter can be a great resource. All of the sitters on the site have undergone background checks and you can read reviews from friends and other parents who have used the sitter before so you know what to expect.

5. DateEscape – iPhone

Nothing is worse than that awkward moment on a date when you realize that it just isn’t going to work. But, how do you gracefully excuse yourself? Well, rather than relying on a friend to call, you can use DateEscape to receive a custom fake call or text message.

6. Valentine’s Day Fun Facts – Android

This app is full of random fun facts, information, and, well, a little bit of everything! It’s great for conversation starters or if you’re looking for a fun way to celebrate the most romantic day of the year.

7. Invisible Boyfriend/Girlfriend – Any phone

So, this isn’t so much an app as a service, but it’s still something I wanted to note. This paid service basically allows you to create a fake boyfriend or girlfriend who will call and send you texts in realtime so you can convince even the most pesky friend or family member that you’re in a relationship.

8. Love Quotes – iPhone/Android

This app is super cheesy. I mean it. Like, incredibly cheesy. But, if you’re looking for some fun or to impress a particularly sappy sweetheart, then check out some of these quotes and romantic images sure to bring a smile to someone’s face!
