Valentine Party Ideas from the Heart

Valentine’s Day is popular with anyone who enjoys the idea of love and romance. It is a time to show your true feelings and affection and give gifts that display your devotion and admiration. Whether you are a giver of roses and chocolates or the recipient of a small paper card, Valentine’s Day is one holiday that lets everyone feel special and treasured.

Valentine party ideas are not as common as other festive celebrations, but the one day of the year dedicated to love can actually make for an incredibly memorable and fun party. Here are some fun, family friendly and festive valentine party ideas.

Food from the heart: One simple and cute way to celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day is to serve a feast of heart-themed foods. Simply choose appetizers, sweets, and dinner dishes that somehow relate to love and romance such as cinnamon heart candies, salads with artichoke hearts or red velvet cake. You could also take your heart-felt meal to the next level by only using red or heart shaped dishes.

Love balloons: This game is simple, and sure to get a few laughs from all of your guests. Simply place pictures of loved ones, husbands, friends, and even Hollywood heartthrobs into latex balloons. Then blow the balloons up and let each guest choose one as they enter your party. To begin the games tell everyone that a picture of their true love is hidden inside their balloon and they must pop the balloon with cupid’s arrow to find out whom they have.

Depending on who gets which balloon this game can lead to hysterical laughter and giddy girl talk.

Pin the kiss on the handsome prince:  We have all pinned the tail on a donkey, but what about pinning a kiss on a Hollywood hunk? The rules to this game are similar to its more juvenile counterpart but involve lipstick and a large Hollywood poster.

Each player gives his or her lips a good coating of bright red and then after being blindfolded and spun around heads toward the poster to plant a big one on the celebrity crush. This valentine party idea is sure to end in an outburst of laughter and a few blushing cheeks depending on where the lipstick kisses land!
