Entertaining on Valentine's Day

       

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays for a few reasons:

1. My Birthday is the next day.

2. I love the color red and hearts.

3. It is a perfect reason for a party.

I love to entertain on Valentine’s day. Valentine’s Day is a celebration of those we love so just about any party works well. Whether it be couples over for dinner, girls over for coffee or a little girl's American Girl party, it is a fun time. 

Couples Dinner

Set a romantic table with reds, silver, candles and something glittery. Serve a nice red wine with a rich dinner and end with a chocolate molten cake and Amaretto coffee. For lively dinner conversation, try a variation of the Newlywed game. Write down a few questions on red card stock such as “Where were you the first time one of you said I Love You?” We played this during dinner a few years ago and there were a few surprises! It is a fun way to get to know your friends better.  

Girls’ Night Out

Pink cocktails of course and again chocolates! Invite everyone to wear red or pink.

Ladies Coffee or Tea

Brunch is the easiest meal to prepare when entertaining. Use lots of strawberries!

Little Girls Valentine Party

This was a fun one! I found heart shaped marshmallows for the hot chocolate, decorated cookies and my mom made each girl a pink dress for their American Girl Dolls. They loved it!

There are endless ways to celebrate the day so just do it! We have great invitations in packs of 10 that can ship immediately. We can even create a custom invite for you. Just send us an email. What a great time to get together it’s cold and dreary so bring some warmth to a loved one!  

Happy Valentine's Day to you!!
