Who is looking forward to Valentine’s Day? Well, not everyone raise their hand at once! So what, it’s Valentine’s Day and you DON’T have to be attached to have a fun time. Share this cheesy, romantic holiday with friends. Celebrate the relationship you have with your friends! Love is in the air for each other. So grab your friends together and plan a Valentine’s Day party that will top them all!
Color On The Scene: Of course, not red and pink! Who would ever think of using those colors? We’re going to use purple! Still more of a girly color, yet not so traditional. Think outside the box and pick something unusual. Just pick something not associated with Valentine’s Day. More along the colors of a Single Awareness Day, how perfect!
Single Party Food: Keep with the color scheme. Purple foods are somewhat easier to come by. If you can’t find anything, use food coloring. For purple, use purple eggplant to make delicious bruschetta. Grapes, plums and blueberries can create a delicious fruit tray with purple fruit dip.
Grape jello, purple cake and cupcakes, grape Popsicles or an appetizing chocolate fountain can be served at your party too. Serve what you want. Serve your favorite food, junk food and appetizers in your color. This will add a fun touch to your party.
Tempting Drinks: Again, keep within your colors. You can create your favorite punch or cocktail recipe and just add a couple drops of food coloring to create the color. That simple. Come up with creative names like, singles awareness drink or mingle with singles. Just something fun and catchy. Everyone will truly enjoy your party beverages.
Gifting Is A Must:You know the timeless classic Christmas game of Dirty Santa? Well, why not carry over that tradition into Valentine’s Day. You may not be receiving flowers at work, so exchange gifts with your single friends. They can be gag gifts, chocolates or gift cards.
However, gag gifts may be the ideal way to go with this party theme. It makes it more fun for everyone. Maybe come up with a fun name such as Dirty Cupid? This party game will keep the laughs coming and let everyone enjoy the party as a group.
These 4 party tips will surely help you in throwing your Valentine’s Day Bash! Colorful decor, delicious party food and drinks and great company makes for a great time. Forget about being single, when you have all the elements for a successful party. You’ll have a great time on Valentine’s Day!
