Yeah, its a really good idea for a special date, A good fact to mention, is that this only happens every 160 years (Sure it actually happens every 16 years, But they wont know that! Its much more epic that way!) 8)

It is, either way, One of the most spectacular meteor showers your ever likely to see.

However if your in the UK, dont bother unless you have a good dark skies spot away from light pollution.

The persieds are notoriously difficult to see from the UK and the moon wont help matters either.

Good hunting tho if your gonna try
