How to have an amazing Valentine’s Day with your girlfriends
Tips & Ideas for hosting your own Valentine’s Day Party
No one should feel alone, depressed or left out on Valentine’s Day. We all have single or separated friends, or even friends in relationships who might not be able to be spend this day with their partner, everyone could do with a bit of love, support and a touch of sparkle.
Personalized Invitations
- Get creative, make your invites with a personal touch. (When possible, always try to personally deliver invites rather than doing it by email or social media, your effort will be noticed).
- Send out invites to all your girlfriends, no matter what their relationship status. Just because they have a partner, doesn’t mean they have any special plans for the day, who knows, your party might be just what they need…
Creative Decorations
- The theme is love, meaning you can go all out and have fun with hearts and sparkles everywhere…all in cheerful pink and red colours of love.
- Who doesn’t love balloons? So have a lot of them floating around, it brings a sense of fun in the atmosphere.
- If you have a large room, cut out hearts and let them hang from the ceiling. This works great when you have a lot of space to fill up in a big room, fills the empty spaces.
Fun Things To Do
- Host a pamper party, this will give you some time off from being the hostess and enjoy being pampered a bit. Arrange for some some neck massages or have makeup artists demonstrate and glam up the party. (Like Bodyography Make-up Workshops: Contact Jemima-Faye on +27 82 416 0106 or email on jemima@lgdist.co.za for more information or bookings.)
- Hang up a pinata filled with sweet and pretty little things.
- Secret Valentine:
- Ask everyone to bring a gift with to the party. To make it easier, try and set a price range they should stick to when buying the gift.
- Allocate a number to each person on a piece of paper, starting from 1 upwards. Ask them to write that number on the bottom of their present and then place it on the table.(You can also give them their number before the party starts so that they can write it on their presents beforehand and have them place the gifts on the table when they arrive) Put all the numbers in a bowel and then let each person draw a number, which is the number on the gift they take. If they draw their own name, they can put it back and draw again.
