Looking into expenses, and creating a weekly savings would have gotten you to your goal, and you could have monitored it with your BF. Planning, saving and communicating are all important skills that relationships require... dating is a time to develop and practice those skills...Now, as for ideas, first we don't quite know much about avalible cash, or a budget - but the important thing about celebrating is that you plan something that's fun and important- expense need NOT be a factor. Be creative! Don't go into a years debt for 2 days of fun- it's not worth it! Find some free or low cost events- look at things at a near by Uni (they usually have a lot of low cost activities), or free markets, open concerts, musems, interesting shopping districts... Have a good time! It's not about spending money - it's about spending time!

Your finances were'nt discussed at an earlier date. You've got a great guy. Maybe for once and never again you could tell him your situation and get a loan and go. But you needn't celebrate all things this way or you will be poor.
