Planning a Valentine’s Day party? While some people stress about filling a party table with embellished treats in matching hues, take note that there are other ways to pull off a great event. Two strategies to consider: Go for the unexpected and go for the classic. In other words, catch your guests off guard with unique flourishes, but don’t hesitate to use timeless basics like the Sweethearts candy you ate as a kid.

There are no rules that say your Valentine’s Day decor has to be filled with red and pink hearts. Or that every item you serve has to be sweet. Brownies, cookies and cupcakes are in order, right?! Yes and no. You should definitely feel free to defy expectation when it comes to the edibles at your gathering. Think about the food you truly want to eat. Then blend your ideas into a festive table display!

Your party decor is the backdrop for the event. It welcomes guests. It sets the stage for a memorable gathering. What could be more festive than heart-shaped balloons? A simple, non-metallic finish in shades of pink, red and white screams “Valentine’s Day,” yet the balloons create an old-fashioned feel that keeps things simple and chic. Valentine’s Day decor does not have to be expensive to be eye-catching. Paper doilies can be used on tabletops, in crafting activities, and of course, as garland supplies!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Cheers!
