Valentine’s Day can be one of the year’s most special days for Mothers. As you can expect, New Orleans Mom is there for all the news, events, updates, ideas, and perspectives on celebrating Valentine’s Day in the Big Easy

Valentine’s Day is often best when celebrated in different ways. Each year presents a new opportunity to have unique Valentine’s Day New Orleans celebrations. From adding Mardi Gras-style festivities to touring the Crescent City to simply having a picnic, there are lots of fun and original ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the Big Easy.  And with a team of more than 30 contributors, our writers have every corner of Valentine’s Day New Orleans covered, from Metairie to Uptown to Kenner to Westbank. 

Valentine’s Day in New Orleans doesn’t just have to be a date night. It’s also a great time to celebrate with the girlfriends in your life, from sisters to coworkers to friends to neighbors. At New Orleans Mom, our writers have also explored how to celebrate “Galentine’s Day,” a special day when Moms get with their friends to celebrate the holiday their way.  And at New Orleans Mom, we get that Mothers sometimes have to keep costs in mind when celebrating holidays, which is why we found some quick and cute Valentine’s Day ideas for under $20.

As Moms, we often have to include our children in our lives, even when it may not be the most convenient. Valentine’s Day in New Orleans doesn’t have to be all about the grown-ups. There are also great ways to get the kids involved in Valentine’s Day without it intruding upon the experience for the adults.
