Valentines Day Party
From LoveToKnow Party
A Valentine’s Day party is just the ticket for all you romantics out there, looking for love, rekindling an old flame and another way get people together for food and fun activities. For those inclined to do so, it is also an excuse to give away cards, candy, gifts and maybe a bit of affection to someone you’ve had your eye on. February 14th is just around the corner, and LoveToKnow is here to help you with some great ideas to make it a fun and successful event.
Valentine’s Day Party Ideas
So you’re looking for some ideas to move your party in the right direction. Below is a selection of themes and tips to help you out.
Match Making Party
This theme is a great idea for singles. All your friends should bring someone with them who is unattached and they are not romantically attracted. At the party, there may be a good chance for sparks to fly (or not). Keep things casual and fun by having this event at your home, restaurant, or park. Send out Valentine themed invitations with instructions to bring a platonic friend. Who knows, maybe love will bloom.
Arabian Nights Theme
Decorate your home or event room with sheer silky cloth, draped from the ceiling to look like a tent (Think 1,001 Arabian Nights). For fun, invite all your guests to dress in Arabian style clothing. Have a buffet with Mediterranean style food and hire belly dancers for entertainment.
Kid’s Valentine’s Day Themed Party
Remember when you were a kid and were anxiously waiting for the delivery of cards and candy into your Valentine’s box at school? Bring the fun at home, at a pizza place, or a park (weather permitting). Have the kids help you out by creating the invitations with construction paper, stickers, glitter and confetti. Decorate with some festive heart shaped streamers and balloons. Get Valentine themed plates, cups and napkins along with a heart shaped tablecloth for added fun. When the party begins, have some games planned to keep the kids entertained – good choices are a Valentine themed ring toss, scavenger hunt, or decorating contest.
Valentine’s Day Party - Celebrating at the Office
With all the serious political correctness going on in the work environment, you have to be a bit careful and sensitive. To liven things up without offending anyone, keep it simple by adding a couple of Valentine themed decorations, and filling a few heart shaped dishes with candy or cookies. To add a bit more of festivity, add a couple of red balloons to add more color.

This sounds like a fun party. Our article on Valentine's Day party decorations might give you some more ideas.
If you decide to go with a Titanic theme, you could call it "A Night To Remember" after the older Titanic movie and book. Since you're throwing the party in a warm region, another fun idea might be a winter wonderland theme. You could incorporate a lot of silver accents and fake snow.
Bouquets of roses would make an eye-catching centerpiece, although that could get expensive. I found this heart centerpiece that seems like a unique way to incorporate roses - www.bhg.com/bhg/slideshow/slideShow.jsp?slideid=/templatedata/bhg/slideshow/data/ValentinesDayFlowersSS_02012006.xml. The slide show accompanying that picture has other ideas you might like. Candles are another option. A tall pillar in a glass jar can be a striking accent, especially if you surround it with glass beads. You could even use chocolate kisses in Valentine's Day foil, if you don't think that would be too cutesy. Perhaps floating candles could add to the Titanic theme.
Hopefully this will help get you started. Maybe some readers will have additional ideas for you.
