Great Valentine's Day party idea
Q-With Valentine’s Day rapidly approaching could you please help with some ideas for this special occasion?
A-Great question and an Adult Sweetheart Dinner Party is a fabulous way for friends to celebrate Valentine's Day together. We had a Dinner Party with a Romantic Theme, and chose Italian food for the menu. To prepare for the big night, we made a love song tape of all of our favorite songs, new and old and even some Italian tunes like "Amore" and "Valare". The tape was played throughout the duration of the party. For decorations, the tables were set with white, pink and red lines; we used fine china and silverware, low vases of flowers, and candles. Hearts were taped all over the walls and the names of the guests (ex: David & Lisa) were put on them. The final preparation was the after dinner game, the Newlywed (or Overlywed) Game. We make pink and blue cards, for gals and guys. Each person had four cards that were numbered 1-4 (a big number on one side, and a small corresponding number on the side where the person put his answer.) I watched the Newlywed Game reruns for a few weeks to get some questions that were favorable, and one of our friends has the game where we also got some questions. As the quests were greeted, we had them sign up if they wanted to participate in the game. And all the couples did!!! After dinner the guys went to another room where they were asked their questions, while the ladies answered their questions with me downstairs. Then we all met in the living room and the couples sat together, and I acted as the M.C. and asked the questions to the guys, and the ladies revealed the answers and vise-versa. There was plenty of fun and laughter! Some guests were tagged with new nick names. After the game, we awarded the couples with the highest and lowest scores with a prize. Afterwards, more mingling went on, and as people left, they said it was a Blast! I highly recommend this theme for Valentine’s Day or any other special day to celebrate any occasion for couples.
