HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
We hope you had a treat filled day of love with whomever you chose to spend it with. We thought we'd give you a peek at our day and some of our favorite Valentines tips that we tried and loved this year. Some we will definitely be using next year and others we will be using for birthdays or other holidays before Valentines even rolls around again.
Enjoy!
White Chocolate Cupcake Toppers
All you need are sucker sticks, melted white chocolate, and wax paper. Once the chocolate is melted place the stick on wax paper and write (we put the chocolate in a plastic bag and cut the tip off) your design or word on or across the stick. Let it dry, or refrigerate until hard and place in your cupcakes. Genius!
Sidewalk Chalk "Heart Attack"
We used a cardboard cut out of a heart to trace hearts of all different colors on the neighbors walk. Then left a message. The kids loved helping and it was sweet and cute.
(Mostly) DIY Valentine Making
Targets Dollar Spot and the Dollar Store are great places for Holiday finds IF you get there early before all the good stuff is gone.
Felt hearts stuffed with chocolate treats can do double duty for decor.
Whoopee Cushions because "Love Stinks"
More Target finds.
Valentine Balloons
4 words. Dollar Store Must Haves!
The Perfect Man Gift
A six pack of soda with the tag "6 reasons I love You", include a treat if you want because we all know men love food.
Valentine Decor
Twine, Red XO's and lips, and clothes pins made an easy and non destructible Valentine banner.
Pin the Lips on Yourself Game
We got this idea from the Small Fry Blog and while we did a few things different it was such a cute game and the kids loved it. We used photos of our children that had closeups of their heads and then printed 8x8 photos at Costco. We laminated them. Cut out foam lips from craft foam, blindfolded them and they were set. The Small Fry Blog has a template for lips, mustache, and glasses that is great for the game but our local copy store was having issues so we made our own.
Valentines for Grandparents
We took balloons and flowers to the grandparents and had fun making cards to send in the mail a day or two before Valentines day. We also used some of our favorite Valentine pictures and sent photos in the cards. Grandparents love mail right?
Babies first Valentines Day
With no planning on our part we each bought the babes the same shirts for Valentines at different stores but on the same day. Great minds. Aren't they darling?
