valentine's day: Some others Party Ideas for Valentine's Day

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.
