Decorating Your Valentine's Day Party

In anticipation of our Valentine's Day party, I have been looking around online for things that I can get to make our house more themed. I found this great site called Print Appeal who have these great printed cocktail napkins and styrofoam cups. We, as a house, have decided to center our party around these witty napkins....

We thought it was a great happy medium between being too mushy ("You had me at hello") and being to against the whole thing ("Men are like roses.. watch out for the pricks").

While Christmas is over, we are going to join our Christmas lights together and hang them around our living room for mood lighting. We figure Christmas lights make people happy as well as create a romantic setting. Because we have so many people coming, and not enough matching glasses, we're going to go out and simply get red SOLO cups to fill with our drinks. If we can find any pink ones, we'll most likely get those, too.

Because we are having a cocktail party, we want to have at least a few snacks so that people don't get too... happy by the end of the night. As of right now, we're planning a simple chocolate fondue since it's easy to make as well as inexpensive.


Our choice for this may change depending on our guests palates as well as the timing for it all but for now - we feel chocolate is a universally enjoyed dish.
