Valentine's Day Party Ideas

Valentine's Day is the occasion to have some fun with your friends, close ones and the love of your life. Check out some exciting tips to arrange a perfect Valentine's Day Party:

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. You can make them quite attractive by designing them with pictures of famous lovers and putting in some famous love quotes. Tie each card with a red satin ribbon, put inside a small red box filled with candies and stick an invitation note to it. Deliver your invites personally. Make sure that your send your invitations at least a week or two weeks before the party, as most people have a habit of planning their Valentine’s Day in advance.

Venue
The venue of your Valentine's Day Party depends as much on you as on your guests. You can throw a party at your shack, provided your celebrations are a family affair and you have the confidence that you can make all the necessary arrangements for it. If you want to make your jubilations a little different, you can invite your sweetheart/friends to watch a romcom at the theatre nearest to your home and give them a treat thus. You can also arrange a picnic on the lines of a camp at some good location, one that is safe and nice to spend time at.

Party Decoration
Your Valentine's Day Party decoration depends mostly on the nature of your celebration. If you're planning a special Valentine's Day evening for you and your honey, a handful of candles and a bouquet of red roses are enough to set the mood. But if you're throwing a Valentine's Day bash for your friends and family, your bash needs a good theme and better decorations. A brilliant decoration goes a long way to set the mood for a party and make it an outstanding one. A Valentine's Day Party is no anomaly. It would be wise to decorate your house according to the theme of the party. But your party zone can also be adorned traditionally. Place heart shaped candle stands and flower vase at different corners and windows of your home. Decorate the ceilings by hanging heart shape balloons, cute stupid cupids and paper hearts with the help of yarn, string or streamers. Red, pink, purple and white are the are the traditional Valentine's Day colors. Cut paper hearts of various sizes from construction papers of aforementioned colours and write messages like "Be Mine", "My Love" or "I Love You" on them. Add some sequins for that extra colour and sparkle. Scatter the cutouts randomly over tabletops and beds. Cover your table with a white table cloth or sheet and put little candy hearts with sayings like "Love is God" at one side of the table. These will be your party favours. Fill candy bowls, champagne flutes and martini glasses with colorful treats. Place a happy Valentines Day banner on the main door.
