Many people typically think of Valentine’s Day as a day that you should spend alone w
ith your spouse or significant other. However, if you’re tired of spending money on a big dinner that you barely touch or earrings that you’ll never wear, consider hosting a couples Valentine’s Day party instead.
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, give your friends a reason to put down the takeout menu and get out of the house. Enjoy one another’s company and celebrate the holiday together. Hosting a Valentine’s Day party is a fun and unique way to get friends together in cold winter months after the standard holiday season has passed.
Pretty In Pink
We can’t deny that pink and red are still the classic Valentine’s Day color. However, you can incorporate pink and red into your party without creating a juvenile feel. Decorate with muted color palettes in soft pinks and reds, and pull colors that are “creamy” versions of these colors to romanticize the atmosphere. Use copper accents to highlight rosy pinks and bright reds, and consider using cream tablecloths to make your décor standout.
All Things Sweet
Fondue is a great food option for a Valentine’s Day party. Chocolate is often associated with love and romance, and fondue is an easy party “finger food.” Serve fondue with a variety of fruits, marshmallows, pretzels, and nuts to give people options. Seafood, such as oysters and caviar are known aphrodisiacs. Although they can get expensive, they are a “go-to” option for a romantic meal. Serving cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and other sweets is always a good idea, especially for Valentine’s Day. Use sweet treats as part of your décor, and display them on cake stands for guests to admire.
Pass the Bubbles
Champagne is a great drink for a Valentine’s Day party. It is classic and timeless, and many people enjoy it. However, if you want to try something new, consider mixing up some signature Valentine’s Day cocktails.
Signed and Sealed
A big part of being a good host is offering a good takeaway gift for your guests. Consider sending your guests home with a sweet favor of chocolates, homemade cards, scented candles, sweet treats, or otherwise. Some creative options could be confetti tubes, chocolate covered strawberries, or pre-made cocktail mixes.
