What is Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day, February 14, is a day for cards, flowers, and dinners with a partner, and in some places for friends and classmates too. It carries the name of a Christian martyr, but its romantic meaning is largely a medieval and modern development. It is an ordinary working day, which shapes how people plan around it: reservations, deliveries, and gifts all compete for the same evening.
Where it is observed: Observed in many countries as a cultural and commercial day. Not a public holiday anywhere in the US or UK.
How the date of Valentine’s Day is set
Valentine’s Day is fixed on February 14. Because it is not a public holiday, a weekend Valentine’s Day usually means busier restaurants and longer delivery queues, while a midweek one spreads celebrations across the nearest weekend. Some countries celebrate love on other dates, such as Brazil on June 12.

Booking and delivery timing
Florists and couriers face their tightest capacity of the year in the days before February 14, so same-day delivery is often limited or priced at a premium. Ordering a few days ahead and asking for delivery on the 13th is a common workaround. Popular restaurants may open bookings weeks in advance and offer only fixed menus.
If the date falls midweek, many couples celebrate on the weekend before or after. The countdown above shows which weekday February 14 lands on, which is usually the deciding factor.
How the day differs around the world
In Japan and South Korea, women traditionally give chocolate on February 14, and men return gifts a month later on White Day, March 14. In Finland and Estonia the day is mainly about friendship. The association with romance in English is often traced to fourteenth-century poetry, and mass-produced paper valentines became popular in the nineteenth century.
