Valentine's Day  Back to Events
 

Whether you prefer to celebrate Valentine's Day with friends, family or your special someone, start the fun in advance with a kids' card-making party.

Schedule the event for the weekend before so it won't conflict with guests' Valentine's Day plans. When you're planning the card party festivities, don't limit the fun to cards only: As the cards dry, round up the kids for themed games such as Valentine Bingo: Write words associated with the holiday on bingo cards and use conversation heart candies for the markers. Show kids how to make a cute Valentine Pouch to tote their cards home from the party and take them to school.

Give the party a sweet ending with an assortment of luscious desserts. Check out the selection of delectables at your neighborhood Publix.

  • Burn a CD with a special mix of love songs to play during the party. Make extra copies of the CD and hand them out as party favors to remind guests of their fun time.
  • Plan ahead for the right wine temperature. White wines need several hours to chill properly and should be served anywhere from 45 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Red varietals will be ready in about 45 minutes. Lighter red wines should be served at 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit; serve fuller-bodied reds at 58 to 65 degrees.
