BUILD YOUR OWN EPIC GALANTINE’S DAY PARTY WITH THE 4 EASY STEPS BELOW
let’s go girl’s
decor
Honestly if I were you I would keep it as simple as possible for the decor and just stick with balloons. They are cheap, easy to find/clean up, and you can find so many cute ones within the Valentine’s realm. Plus, the food and drinks kind of double as decor, especially if you stick on theme!
I have always been a sucker for the balloon wall like pictured below, they make for great photo ops. Truly any balloons below would make for a great balloon wall but I would personally opt for the conversation hearts, I think they’re going to be a hit this year! I also think it would be cute if you put bundles of the heart dot, gingham & kissy lips balloons in the corners of your house! C*nty pin up girl vibes if you will.

If you’re planning on food being a big part of your decor, you’re going to want to put it in something cute. Here are some option’s for drink and food ware below.
Linked to shop, as always. <3
I’m obsessed with these heart flutes! They would never really go out of style either so you could keep them for years.
If you already have glasses at home, bows made of red or pink ribbon is an affordable and chic way to dress them up.
When you’re hosting a party, the last thing you want to think of at the end of it is washing a bunch of dishes.
I will always push a paper plate for informal gatherings!
outfit
There are a couple different vibes you can go for but it all kind of depends on your plans for the night!
GIRLS NIGHT IN
aka cozy slumber party which calls for some matching pj’s
GIRLS NIGHT OUT
aka definitely hitting the clubs afterwards which calls for something hot
This look is truly so easy to recreate using what you already own or with a quick trip to forever 21 or Amazon if you don’t feel like leaving your house.
Stick to the theme with cherry red, black, and white.
Find a mini dress, a lacy slip always slays. Pair that with knee high boots, a statement purse of your choice & a pair of heart earings.

If movies aren’t your jam, here’s a playlist to listen to instead
PAINTING
I’d have two different stations prepped.. canvas painting and nail painting for the girlies who aren’t very artistic or simply don’t want to paint a canvas!
what you will need
Realistically you can find all of this at Hobby Lobby or Target but I linked below to amazon incase you’re the type of gal who like to have things delivered!
5. I think it could also be cool to print out some free scrapbook printable’s from Pinterest or cut out cool things from magazines and Mod Podge them to the canvas then paint over them.
canvas inspo I thought was sick
TOTE BAG DECORATING
If you don’t know how to sew, don’t panic! Theres’ a couple of different decorating options you can choose from!
I didn’t link any patches or pins simply because you and your friends will most likely want to get more personalized ones. Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and Target will have patches and pins but Amazon and Etsy sell some really cute & more personalized ones. Just be sure to type “Iron On Patches” into the search bar!
Personally, I think this could be such fun bonding experience with your friends and gives you the most creative liberty,
Simply print off a bunch of photos of your favorite memories at a local Walmart or Walgreens. Then you can really decorate your book however you want. You can buy stickers or you can even print off letters/sayings you find online and Mod Podge them or glue them into your memory book as well.
Here are a couple of cool freebee’s I found online. All I typed into Pinterest was: printable collage sheet
3. Whatever stickers/printable’s your heart desires <3

food
When you’re hosting a group of people, you want to make something that’s going to be easy to clean up.
IMO, grazing boards are always the go to. You can leave them out your entire party so people will be able to go back and snack on them the the whole time. When it does come time to put the cold items in the refrigerator, you can simply saran wrap and slide right into the fridge!
Below are a few boards and items I thought were aesthetically pleasing, affordable, and easy to put together!
photo ops
Can’t put all of that work into creating a sick *ss party and then not take any pics… here’s some inspo that would look dope on your feed!
If you take any of these tips & tricks, make sure to take pics of your epic party & send them to us @whatsfresh.blog on Instagram
