When the winter blues start
to set in - Valentine’s
Day warms things up with red and white, and lots of
fun!
Valentine’s Day is big celebration at school. This
year, why not bring the celebration home, and host your own Valentine’s
Day party. You don’t need to be Martha Stewart, and you don’t have to
spend a lot of money – just do some Valentine’s decorating and plan a
few surprises.
Here are a couple of links to Valentine gift
ideas, crafts, and games.
Plan a special Valentine’s dinner for your family, or
invite the Grandparents, or a few friends. Try to include the kids in
the party planning.
Here are a few ideas:
Make Dinner Invitations: drop paper invites off, or email
invites
Suggest a Dress Code: maybe fancy; or wear red, wear PJ’s,
etc.
Set the “table”: consider having dinner somewhere other than
the kitchen table, maybe picnic style in the living
room, or in a tent in the basement.
Plan a Dinner Menu with favorite foods: have a dinner
which consists of everyone’s favorite, maybe it’s Mac & Cheese, or
Tacos’, just choose something everyone loves
Festive Dessert: make cupcakes (or buy them, Publix has the
BEST Valentine’s cupcakes)
After dinner, play a board game or musical chairs (no TV, no
computer) With a little effort and a few ideas, you’ll have
a memorable celebration which won’t cost much money.
