There's no question how much children love parties, and that's not just limited to birthday parties and Halloween parties. Throwing Valentines day parties is a fun way to bring in opportunities for celebration, additional Valentines day decorations, and enjoying delicious foods. Talk to your kids about the planning process, as well as any Valentines day decorations you need help creating.
Consider adding a tea party type element into these plans if this is a girls' party. You can achieve this type of party on a budget by visiting odd lots stores, Goodwill, yard sales, and antique stores for teacups, a teapot, and all the linens.
Consider choosing items that don't match because, when placed on the table with the rest of the Valentines day decorations, the look will be interesting and exciting for the party goers. Serve a wide variety of flavored decaffeinated teas, as well as an assortment of flavored hot chocolate.
Use tissue paper and pipe cleaners to create vases full of flowers for the table's centerpiece. You can also cut out hearts from paper, and use the hearts as flower peddles glued to Popsicle sticks.
Additional Valentines day decorations for the table include creating confetti like hearts using a paper punch and several different colors of paper or remnants from wrapping paper. Use paper heart doilies throughout the table presentation underneath the clear glass servers.
Keep in mind the foods you serve can also act as the Valentines day decorations. For example, serve a variety of foiled candies in clear dishes, place a variety of cookies out in clear glass bowls (arrange them so the hearts are overlapping each other), and fill wine glasses with red, white and pink hard candies like M&M's or lifesavers.
Fill a punch bowl with red punch, lemon and lime flavored soda, a half-gallon of rainbow sherbet (in large scoops), and cut up oranges to float on top. Wet the rims of glasses and rub them into a saucer of sugar. Display these glasses next to the punch bowl. The sugar not only makes the glasses an addition to your Valentines day decorations, but they add flavor to the drink.
Don't forget the cupcakes! There are so many ways to decorate a cup cake, and that could actually be part of your Valentines day party plans. Consider setting up a separate table or section of your countertop with all the Valentines day decorations for each cupcake in buffet style.
These decorations can include sprinkles, hard candy message hearts, M&Ms, chocolate syrup, shaved dark chocolate, shaved white chocolate, and so on. Head to the candy aisle and have fun!
Allow each party guest to frost their cupcakes themselves, and add their own decoration. Consider picking up some "to go" boxes so guests can take home extra cupcakes to enjoy when they return home. Use hearts cut from pieces of construction paper, punch a heart shaped hole in the top, string a piece of ribbon through each before filling each box with cupcakes.
Write the name of each party guest on to the heart so their boxes don't get mixed up with someone else's by mistake. This box display also acts as yet another Valentines day decoration opportunity for the party.
