Surprise your loved one with romantic car interior decoration hanging from the headliner, rear view window, front and back seats. Make something so ordinary as getting into a vehicle a special moment of sharing your love in an unexpected way.
Most local party supply or department stores will have everything you need. If they don't, then make your own free paper decorations with some printable templates and colored construction paper or see below for some recommendations.
Access to your loved one's car is required in order to hang all of the decorations. Plan for at least a half hour depending on the amount of decorations. Tell your sweetheart that you have some work to do in the garage or some vehicle maintenance so it's ready for their morning trip to work. If you don't live together, ask to borrow the car for the day to wash it or the keys to check for a lost item you may have left inside.
With a copy of the keys and remote, your partner won't suspect anything if you can complete this romantic idea at your loved one's work parking lot. Start by cleaning the interior.
The car interior decoration doesn't have to be all hearts and lovey-dovey. Make a creative theme based on something your partner loves like his/her favorite sports team colors, favorite movie, TV show or character. Print and make your own with some free clip art.
Some basic car interior decoration supplies include:
Party streamers
Ribbon
Transparent tape
Colored construction paper
Tulle
Balloons (not helium)
Window marker
Start by hanging streamers or ribbon from the rear view mirror to the passenger side of the car as the tape alone may not hold the weight of some decorations. If there are handles above the doors, tie the streamer or ribbon to them and across to the other side.
Tie tulle around the front seats. Hang garland throughout the car. Scatter balloons along the back seat. Leave a small gift on the passenger seat. Tape hearts or other theme related shapes all around. Write on the windows with a washable window marker. The creative options are completely up to you.
Remember that your partner will still need to drive safely so don't cause a hazard by blocking their view with too many decorations or by using helium balloons that block the windows. There's no need to overdo it.
Complete your decorating by taping (or tie with ribbon) a note or card onto the steering wheel.

Heart Swirls
Hang from the headliner with some transparent tape. Each has a hook at the top to make it easier to attach.
Rose Petals
Silk rose petals to place on the seats. Just make sure you are the one to clean it all up afterwards as this can be messy but fun.
