This year I hosted my first Valentine’s Day Party! Whenever I go to plan a party I start with a vision and tailor it to my budget. Oriental Trading makes it easy to find all the themed items I need without spending a lot. Then I just had to create a menu, get the kids excited, and have some fun!
On the table:
- Valentine Tablecloth
- Pink Paper Polka Dot Straws
- Red Paper Polka Dot Straws
- Red Polka Dot Beverage Napkins
- Candy Pink Polka Dot Beverage Napkins
- Valentine’s Hearts Dinner Plates
- Valentine’s Hearts Cups
- Valentine’s Day Foam Cupcake Holder
- Valentine Foil Burst Decoration
- Heart Foil String Decoration
To make the food festive, X, O and heart cookie cutters did the trick!
I am a big fan of the no candy Valentine’s. The Brights Bouncing Balls are a great little gift everyone in the class.
You can download my cute Valentine’s Day Printable for your kiddos’ Valentine’s Day exchange.
All those Valentines need somewhere to be delivered to. The kids decorated this DIY Valentine Holder Box with Red Washi Tape assortment, markers, and stickers for a festive home for their cards.
I just love photo gifts. They are great for family and as little keepsakes for special moments. For Valentine’s my babies made a picture magnet for me. How cute is this Bear Picture Magnet Craft Kit?
*Note: The foam pieces are not stickers. I used Tacky Glue to get the pieces to stay on. They also suggest using a glue gun but those things are always so messy for me!
Find all these Valentine’s Day goodies and more at Oriental Trading. I already have my eye on their Easter products!
Do you have a favorite way to celebrate the ones you love?

February 8, 2016 at 12:45 pmWhat a fun idea! I LOVE the straws and the heart-shaped fruit! I usually like to make as much food heart-shaped (I’ve done pancakes and pizza) on Valentine’s Day as possible, but other than that I’m not very creative.

February 9, 2016 at 5:03 pmI used to shop there for my kids parties, I would get great party favors etc. I’d almost forgotten about them. Will have to check them out for the next birthday party.
