Valentine's Day is the occasion to have some fun with your friends, close ones and the love of your life.
Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated in all the countries of the world, on 14th February. It is regarded as the day on which lovers express their feelings towards each other. The holiday is named after Saint Valentine and presents the perfect opportunity for you to say ‘I Love You’. Now, how you do the same depends totally upon you. The options include giving cards, presenting flowers, offering confectionery, taking on a candle-lit dinner and so on. You can pick any one amongst them and woo the love of your life.
There are a number of ways in which people celebrate Valentine’s Day. While some of them spend the day with their ‘special someone’ only, others throw a party for all their near and dear ones. You can also celebrate this Valentines Day by throwing a party, be it for your beloved (the person you really love) or all the close ones. Whatever be the nature of your Valentine’s Day party, there are certain basic elements that you need to keep in mind, to make sure that it turns into a success. These include the invitation, theme, menu, favors, and, so on. We have detailed each one of them in this section.
Valentines Day Party Ideas
Invitation
Before you send in the invites, list out the names of all those guests whom you want to invite for your Valentine’s Day party. Inform your friends beforehand whether it will be a day party or over-night party. Provide the names of all the invited ones as your guests may want to know who are the ones you invited other than themselves. You can reveal your ingenuity with the invitation cards but you would do well to relate them with your dominant party theme (though your invitations may also stand apart on their own). Send out cards in the shape of a heart or cupid, or with the shape of a heart on the front. It’s even better if you can make some invitation cards yourself for your Valentine’s Day party.
Party Themes
A theme is one of the prime requirements for any party. The primary thing that should be decided is a theme, so that decorations can be done accordingly. A popular Valentine’s Day party theme is the slumber theme. Planning a sleepover party is a great idea though it is suitable mostly for kids. Another common theme these days is to dress up like celebrities or in some fancy dress. You can even announce a prize to the best dressed up person. But you can surely do without a theme if it gets a bit difficult for you to make the arrangements.
Recipes
You can find as many Valentine’s Day recipes as you could hope for on the Allrecipes.com website. Valentine’s Day cookies are an absolute must, as is a beautiful red fruit punch. Be sure to include some chocolate treats such as cupcakes in your Valentine’s Day spread. However, be sure to include some healthy treats so your party guests won’t overdose on sugar. Put out some chopped red vegetables and fruit such as red bell pepper, tomato, strawberries, apples and cherries along with flavorful dips and sauces such as Italian and ranch dip and caramel and Romanov sauce. If you’re having your party around lunch-time, serve finger sandwiches on whole wheat bread with some lettuce and tomato. Be sure to provide paper plates, napkins and utensils decorated with Valentine’s Day shapes and colors.
Party Decorations
Decorating up your home for Valentine’s Day is a great way to add romance and beauty to your love nest. Decoration for Valentines Day requires some attention to details here and there. Valentine’s Day decoration becomes a bit hyped if you are throwing a party and calling all friends and relatives.
Party Dress
Love is in the air and you have been invited to a Valentine’s Day party. You want to look your best and make heads turn as you enter. For this, you need to choose the perfect attire, something that flatters your body and enhances your special features. You should aim at looking simple and elegant, yet smart and impressive. So, make sure you thoroughly check your wardrobe for that perfect attire, which will help you look extra special on this special day.
