MAIN Holidays Valentine's Day Valentine's Day Party Ideas

Love is in the air ...and it's time to party!

Inviting friends over to celebrate is a perfect way to beat the winter blues and strengthen the warm bonds of love and friendship.

Valentine's Day also provides a good excuse to party it up with good friends, family, in the classroom, or at a kid's open house.

Valentine's Day party ideas

Plan a few weeks ahead to leave time for sending out invitations. Buy Valentine's Day invitations online, at your favorite card store, or make them yourself! Use Valentine's Day clip art for the cover, with clever headlines like "Dress red and be ready to party!", or "Roses are red, violets are blue....this Valentine's Day party won't be the same without you!"

Menu planning and Valentine's Day recipes are next on the list. For a casual get-together, be sure to include lots of finger foods so people can be free to mingle. Or how about an easy to make heart-shaped pizza?

For formal sit-downs, think red and pinks such as lobster tails, pink salmon, Italian dishes with red sauces, and don't forget the strawberry cheesecake and the chocolate-covered strawberries!

Decorating for your Valentine's Day party is simplicity itself. Just be sure to include shades of reds and pinks for your party table, with votive candles or a large candle centerpiece to set the mood. Finally, make the party extra fun and memorable with Valentine's day party games. For kids or adults, a Valentine's Day party scavenger hunt is a great ice breaker.

As the party winds down, send guests home happy with red goodie bags filled with small votives, candy hearts, chocolate kisses, and other treats.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day!!
