Valentine’s Day Parties & Anti-Valentines

Whether you are in a couple or happily single, there are plenty of options for a Valentine’s Day party. You can have a silly party, a sexy party, a matchmaking party, a dinner party, or a party for two. It can be a party to bring your Valentine… or meet a Valentine!

Or if you don’t like Valentine’s – have an anti-Valentine’s party. Just turn things up a notch or two, send up the romantic ideals, overdress and ham it up acting out romantic scenes and scripts.

Have a look at the costume and decorating ideas below. For Valentine’s gifts, including romantic gifts, see BCL Valentine’s Day Gift ideas.

Valentine’s Party Decorations & Catering

Valentine’s day is all about red, pink, purple and white – and hearts!

Valentine’s Party Activites

  • Hold a trivia with questions about those famous romantic movies – Gone with the Wind, Casablanca and so on. Act them out. Or “who said…” Or “what’s the next line…”
  • Use one of these movies as your theme and have everyone dress up and act as one of the characters. You might find some of the non-romantic supporting characters are the favourite characters.

Valentine’s Party Costumes can be sexy or funny. Dress for the occasion in red or pink, or coordinate with your date as a famous couple (see our suggestions below).
